All-New, All Different Ultimate Alliance NOW!
The Marvel universe is in a very troubling time just months after it got out of a collision with a parallel earth and everything got all cosmic Game of Thrones (look, just read Secret Wars, it’s easier than explaining it). The universe is always in danger, and the House of Ideas’ heroes will always be around to protect it, even if they all spend too much time fighting each other. After the second game touched on Civil War and divided up the roster, it’d be great to just get back to basics and have all the heroes fighting the bad guys instead of bad guys and each other.
Both games have had general rosters of about two dozen heroes, not counting platform specific heroes. It’d be great for the third game in the series to just go all out and get bigger, giving us a lineup that consists of the best parts of each branch of the comics: the Avengers, the X-Men, the Spider-Family, the Supernatural (Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange, etc.), the Cosmic (Silver Surfer, Guardians of the Galaxy), Street level heroes, and the Inhumans. Ideally, the lineup would try to reflect the current state of the comics–both the All-New, All-Different branding and the upcoming Marvel NOW–meaning adding new characters like Ms. Marvel, Jessica Jones, America Chavez, Thor, Odinson, Squirrel Girl, and yes, that also includes Victor von Doom as Iron Man.
As for what could bring these heroes together? Well, the first game did end with a tease of Galactus seeking vengeance for the heroes ruining his chow time, but that would definitely run counter to the comics, since he’s currently no longer a world eater, but a lifebringer. But there are bad guys like HYDRA and the Red Skull still lurking around, not to mention a little bad guy by the name of Thanos who hasn’t been in any of the games before.
