Leaderboard: Marvel Heroes' character customization - Good deal or deal-breaker?
Every once in a while I get intrigued by Marvel Heroes, and then I do a bit of research and I remember that it forces me to play as a pre-existing comic book character rather than an avatar of my own creation.

Leaderboard: What's your favorite MMO archetype?
