What you might not realized is that there's something else going on in the Marvel Universe that greatly impacts what characters are available to licencors ... a character's movie rights.
You see, Marvel doesn't own the movie rights to all their characters/teams ... and it appears as though there's a bit of a power struggle to regain control of them (Marvel Halts Production of Fantastic Four and X-men Collectibles, Marvel Cancels Fantastic Four).
We know that Spider-Man is safe after Marvel secured movie rights from Sony ... but based on the info-graphic above, the following figures are in limbo, and as such, will probably not appear in Vs. System, HeroClix, or any licensed game:
- Fantastic Four
- Silver Surfer
- Wolverine
- X-Men
- Deadpool
- Cable
- Namor
I personally don't care to see a Namor movie ... but the loss of X-Men and Wolverine; that's a major blow to any comic-related game. What are your thoughts on Vs. System is X-Men and the Fantastic Four are kept out? What decks will you miss most?
