Gold Force Onua Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 A topic for discussing the Marvel universe. The comics, characters, movies, cartoons or anything else that has to do with Marvel.At the moment I'm reading the Wolverine Origins comics series which has really provided a lot of background information on Logan's past. It has also made me rethink how much I like the X-Men Origin's: Wolverine a lot since both story lines are completely different. Quote Coming Soon! Improved version of my epic from the old forums.So I stopped following the Bionicle storyline after Metru-Nui... if anyone knows of anywhere I can read up on it to catch up pm me with a link.

Baba O' Riley Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I really like the ultimate universe so far- they have taken what's happened in the 616 and spun it all around. I really loved the republic is burning storyline though I'm really curious to see what happens next Quote I get my back into my living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba O' Riley Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well its different from the main 616 universe- when it first started back in 2000 it was kinda a reintroduction into the normal characters but with a twist. A good example is the ultimates- they were the new version of the avengers but instead of being a group of heroes gathered to stop street crimes/super villains they operate on a global threats handling mutants terrorists or helping with wars.There are also many changes with characters- instead of dr. Doom being the universes most feared enemy- it's been given to magneto and recently reed Richards. Also since Peter Parker died a new spider man was introduced. Also on good thing about ultimate marvel is that when a character dies- there ain't no coming back- with two exceptions (one which died again 10 issues later lol)It's pretty interesting and I recommend it over the 616 any day Quote I get my back into my living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Whiplash- Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Well I'm reading old doctor strange, Captain America, Deadpool, and soon, winter soldier.I was reading the clairmont run on X-men, but I stopped for a while and I need to start that back up.Love playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and 3 as well. I'll play anyone. Quote Gamers rise up, not down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's free, like the DC one...Yeah it's supposed to be free and pretty good from what I've read. The game is supposed to come out this year, but there isn't a release date which is odd because Marvel has been working on it for a long time. Quote Coming Soon!

Baba O' Riley Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well I'm reading old doctor strange, Captain America, Deadpool, and soon, winter soldier.I've stopped reading the normal captain America comics after the whole captain america reborn storyline though I heard about the winter soldier series- I might look into it.Though is anyone one excited about the avengers vs xmen crossover this year? I was reading the prelude to it called x-sanction. So far I find it disappointing. Though that might be cause I disliked Jeff lobe since the ultimates volume 3.

Gold Force Onua Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I should probably start reading Ultimates because it sounds like I'm missing out. The only problem is I want to finish the Wolverine Origins series but I can't find the last few . I'm thinking of subscribing to a series since my birthday is coming up too... any recommendations?

UltraHau Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's Marvel, baby. ^_^I'm not a big fan of the Marvel comics, but I'm pretty big on Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (and 1, to a lesser extent) - it's probably the best crossover game ever created. I'm still learning my way around MvC2, since I'm used to Street Fighter III's engine, but it's definitely a fun game with a gigantic roster.

Lavama Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 NIMROD.Anyways, Marvel 2 is fun, but I find the ones before much, much, much funner. And on the topic of movies? I am eagerly awaiting Avengers after watching the amazing job that Marvel did with Captain America. Quote "Boss! Da needle is pointin' in da red! Dat ain't good!""Course it's good ya squealin' runt!

I think there are at least 10 good characters - Tron Bonne, Storm, Cable, Magneto, Sentinel, Cyclops, Doctor Doom, Strider Hiryu, Iron Man, and even Dhalsim are all worth playing. I personally find Ryu to be not bad either, but he lacks the full-screen projectile attacks most of the other characters have.And no, I don't have MvC2 for the 360, unfortunately.
