A new Marvel fighting game features 20 characters split into five teams. The first DLC year will add four more, likely forming a new team tied to the story. Analysis explores possibilities including The Defenders, The Thunderbolts, a full Midnight Sons squad, or The Fantastic Four, examining potential leaders and members based on lore and gameplay diversity.
A brand-new Marvel fighting game has been revealed, featuring 20 characters from across the Marvel universe organized into five teams of four. These teams include the Fighting Avengers, Unbreakable X-Men, Knights of Doom, and others.
The first year of DLC is set to introduce four additional characters, likely forming a new team integrated into the game's story. Narrative snippets indicate that 'leader' characters have assembled their squads to confront The Champion, a Marvel figure known for traveling worlds to find strong fighters.
For example, Spider-Man leads The Amazing Guardians, comprising Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, and Peni Parker. This structure suggests DLC characters will form another team, possibly The Defenders, who are Marvel's street-level heroes focusing on grounded conflicts rather than cosmic threats. The Defenders often battle criminal underworld figures like Kingpin and, while not as powerful as Thor, rely on unique skills. Potential members range from martial arts experts to walking arsenals, including both well-known and obscure picks.
Developers have stated that background cameos in stages do not rule out characters from joining the roster. From The Defenders' history, Doctor Strange and his wife Clea could both serve as Sorcerer Supreme, while fan-favorites like Daredevil or Luke Cage are obvious fits. Lesser-known choices like Valkyrie could also add variety, with gameplay innovations such as Luke Cage's invulnerability or Iron Fist's martial arts.
Another possibility for DLC is The Thunderbolts, originally villains disguised as heroes but now evolving into a team of morally grey characters and anti-heroes. Their roster fluctuates, sometimes including powerful members but often featuring ex-soldiers and mercenaries on tactical missions. The leader determines the team's direction: Baron Zemo would create a villainous squad similar to Knights of Doom, while leaders like Red Hulk, Luke Cage, or Winter Soldier could yield a more diverse group with distinct gameplay styles.
The game already includes Midnight Sons characters, with the Samurai Outriders team of Ghost Rider, Deadpool, Loki, and Blade hinting at a Midnight Sons theme. Despite Ghost Rider and Blade being present, a 'true' Midnight Sons team might still be possible. An overabundance of supernatural characters could be unusual, but many from that realm are new to fighting games, making them enticing picks. Desired additions include Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, and Scarlet Witch, the latter rumored via leaks alongside Magneto.
It remains unclear if these will form a dedicated Midnight Sons team. Fans also note that the four-person team structure perfectly suits The Fantastic Four, Marvel's first family, with Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic) as a likely leader. Beyond the core four, potential cosmic additions could surprise players. The DLC's composition depends on narrative alignment, gameplay diversity, and developer choices, with each team offering unique mechanics and story integration
