Everyone will be fighting together to defeat a galactic menace. If you want to know what it would be like if the MCU had complete control over all of the Marvel properties, we think it would probably look something like this. Hilariously, these side missions are narrated by Deadpool.


There are 15 story missions in total in the single-player campaign. For example, Spider-Man can use his webbing to swing from buildings while Bruce Banner can turn into the Hulk and smash things. Each of the Marvel superheroes has its unique superpower in the game. You can control the Lego version of your favorite characters and explore Lego versions of New York City. The gameplay of Lego Marvel Super Heroes is very similar to the other Lego video games in the series. There are also heroes and villains from comics that haven’t been adapted to the big screen yet. The game has characters from the widely popular Avengers as well as characters from the Fox-controlled X-Men franchise. In the game, players can choose from over 180 playable Marvel characters to control. Also, Terminus is the right call for their first threat: it's big and strong enough that one hero can't take it on solo, and gives a reason for them to assemble to stop it.Lego Marvel Super Heroes is probably the closest thing to the massive crossover that everyone is waiting for. Since Sam is no longer Falcon, he needs to be front-and-center in Avengers adventures.

I especially enjoyed Sam Wilson for the choice of Captain America over Steve Rogers. She makes her case for why she chooses each hero, and they all bring something different to the team. It's also good to see the Avengers pass along the chairman role – something that should continue whenever the creative team changes.Ĭaptain Marvel as the focal point for the reader is a nice change of pace from Captain America and Iron Man. If anything, it helps give that "It's All Connected" vibe. It does help if you're up to date on the recent events in Thor, Black Panther, Judgment Day, and the just-concluded Avengers, but it's nothing that takes away from the main story. Avengers #1 uses the tried-and-true "assembling the team" tactics to get readers acquainted with who is on the team, and how their new leader, Captain Marvel, chose them.
