    Stop it with those spideys!
    Really getting sick of this, make a other game called spideys puzzle quest!
    I am 100% certain nobody said they wanted this character in last survey.
    At least give us his enemies Rhino, Lizard or one of the Goblins to name a few and stop it with these spidey clones.

    *Sheepishly raises hand*

    I voted for her last survey.

    ...and her #1 last year was the best selling Hero-headlined Marvel Comic last year. (Only short of Star Wars and Secret Wars. So, a better seller then Spider-man himself)

    I don't you think you understand exactly how popular Gwen Stacy is out there.

    We have released superheroes who are male, female, black, Asian and Muslim. Can we release ones who are gay, Jewish, Hispanic or other types of minorities? I would love more diversity within the game.

    We have Miles already, He's Hispanic isn't he? We have Iceman, the version we have in the game is gay correct? I dunno if any of the characters are Jewish though to be honest.

    Hmm, I read up on Iceman as gay. Interesting. Too bad he seems so creepy in the game! But at least he's actually a good character, tough to fight against.

    Glad to see that some of the characters are actually Hispanic or Jewish. It would be great to have more Asian characters. Chulk isn't that great of a hero...
    I am also fairly sure colosus is gay. In the comics one reason he leaves the X-men and goes back to Russia is he falls for Logan and realizes that it will never happen. I am all for more diversity in characters going forward. I would also like to see more villians in the game so they can be plugged into PVE so we can get rid of all the Juggs nodes and Daken Nodes

    Ultimate Colossus is (was, now that the Ultimate Universe is gone) gay. Mainstream continuity Piotr is straight.

    Do you think they went with Iceman as being gay because he's ice instead of flaming? Like, everyone would suspect Human Torch, because he's litterally flaming. : )

    Also, having the Asian guy's special move being "doing math" is pretty racist.

    icon_thing.png & icon_magneto.png are Jewish. ( icon_quicksilver.png and icon_scarletwitch.png are too in their comic-incarnations, but the Movie Inhuman business may throw things off since they're prob. not Magneto's kids anymore)

    icon_daken.png, while never explicitly confirmed, is proooooobably bisexual (Or at least, he smooched Bullseye once for likely distraction/phermones means)

    Jewish Marvel heroes include Ben Grimm, Magneto (he was a prisoner at Auschwitz), his daughter Polaris (and Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch depending on whether their relation to him has been retconned away that month) Moon Knight, Kitty Pryde, Wiccan, Doc Samson, and, surprisingly to me, Iceman (he's non-practicing, but his mom's Jewish).

    You just wrote an Adam Sandler revival.

    Fitting that her special moves are named after songs by The Jam, The Runaways and The MC5.

    Daken likely just doesn't care. He uses people to get what he wants. Sexuality is just another tool for him.

    Daken is bisexual in the comic. He sleeps with both men and women in the comic, and in fact, gets the Heat drug from a male lover if I remember right.

    Psylocke is kind of Asian, or a white woman in an Asian woman's body. I don't know exactly how all that worked.

    I also voted Spider-Gwen. One of the few newly created to the comics characters that is worth it.

    Asians - Silk checks that Asian-woman that is also a Spider character box. If Dr. Strange ever gets released, we need Wong. They could also release Mandarin (comic and movie versions because Kingsley is awesome). And Fin Fang Foom because who doesn't want a alien dragon in purple shorts!

    Pumped-Up Kicks would have been a much better power name than Teenage Kicks, if choosing song names.

    Next Spider character should be Spider Modok. That character was hiliarious.

    Do it D3. Make it happen

    I am pumped for Spider Gwen, I think she is one of the coolest new characters.

    Seeing how Marvel-related games pump out their characters, they have a mix of classic favorite and new favorites. I suspect they may have a quota of such and they will release a somewhat equal proportion of them.

    I really like her design! Good job d3!

    You say too many Spider-characters, but I still can't play as Scarlet Spider...

    It's a shame this boring, flavor of the month, costume-of-a-character made it in the game before Spider-Woman (Drew or Carpenter), Black Cat, or any number of more deserving female characters.

    The art is nice though.

    I think Marc Spector (Moon Knight) converted to praying to Konshu icon_e_wink.gif
