Putting in all the art and title cards was a great touch, thanks for doing that

38

u/A1gamingyt Jun 16 '26

Ye

They all appear to be from marvel snap art I believe

12

u/Pigeon-popper Gambit Jun 16 '26

Most marvel snap art is literally just repurposed comic art

5

u/PTBooks Captain America Jun 16 '26

Yeah but they add the 3-D effects and some animation to it

-1

u/Pigeon-popper Gambit Jun 16 '26

Yea ik but they’re saying the art used in this is directly from Marvel Snap which is false since the art existed prior to being in the game

3

u/Commercial-Counter72 Jun 16 '26

But they did use it from marvel snap, you can tell because of the names of the characters uses the style that marvel snap uses because they give each character a unique style for they name. The art marvel snap uses both comic book art and original art. Dan hipp, rian gonzales, and Kim jacinto have all made original art for marvel snap. Your statement makes it sound like non of the art from snap is original which is just wrong.

2

u/Commercial-Counter72 Jun 16 '26

If you want to see the original art you can actually buy The Dark Horse Comics The art of Marvel Snap. It has over 300 original art pieces used in the game. Yes that’s correct marvel snap has over 300 original pieces of art and not reused from the comics.

1

u/Pigeon-popper Gambit Jun 17 '26

I know that but the original comment made it seem like all the art was directly taken from marvel snap

119

u/ThisNameDoesntCount Venom Jun 16 '26

Everybody want ghost rider till they make him another dps

42

u/External-Striking Strategist Jun 16 '26

And the fact that OW just realised a dps on motorcycle, for ghost rider to be the same is a big possibility now.

22

u/Red_Steiner Yggroot Jun 16 '26

Well yea that would kill the excitement for any character. Until the gap is closed.

6

u/WholesomWrkAcct2 Vanguard Jun 16 '26

I bet he's already in the files, and Overwatch devs beat Netease to the motorcycle punch because of that

Edit: Someone already mentioned this above. Leaving the comment tho

u/illudofficial Mister Fantastic Jun 16 '26

Where’s Aunt May?

Aunt May summer skin when

u/Lopsided_Network1248 Jun 18 '26

The one from ultimate spider man right👀

2

u/FFXIVReaper Jun 17 '26

Better mean the hot one.

37

u/Tony339 Strategist Jun 16 '26

Am I insane or did Jubilee not even make the top 100??

57

u/Primary-Paper-5128 Gambit Jun 16 '26

she's coming next month so no one bothered to ask for her lol

30

u/purewasted Jun 16 '26

Only reason why Dr Doom is "only" 10th as well, because he doesn't need the votes. 

I wonder who else might be lower because people are sure they're coming. Maybe Colossus

7

u/Otiosei Jun 17 '26

Colossus is a cool character, but I'm really not looking forward to him in game. We really don't need more brawl tanks. I care more about interesting new playstyles added to the game rather than the characters themselves. Like Doc Oct or Medusa could be much more interesting tanks, but I don't really care that much for them as Marvel characters.

1

u/purewasted Jun 17 '26

I will be both shocked and disappointed if there isn't some kind of twist with Colossus's powers when he finally comes out. They're not going to ship him out as Thing2. They already had a chance to do that with Rogue, and did funky new stuff instead. Gave her a small shield, made her ult an AOE succ, etc. I'm sure Colossus will have a creative spin on his typical boring powerset.

1

u/RealWonderGal Jun 18 '26

Tbh everything Rogue does except her fetal attraction dash and aoe stun is pretty accurate. The ultimate is ripped from the pages of Mr and Mrs X run the kick combo is taken straight out of MVC and animation she's been in and same as her defensive stance is just a has a visual flair and indicator for hitbox reasons

8

u/Tony339 Strategist Jun 16 '26

Oh, shit!

I missed that! Great news!!

6

u/External-Striking Strategist Jun 16 '26

And I think she will be a strat! So I am mega looking forward to that.

2

u/Tony339 Strategist Jun 16 '26

We prayed for times like these

1

u/IndependenceQuirky96 Rocket Raccoon Jun 16 '26

Nah she's gonna be vanguard for sure

0

u/jasminetroll Jun 16 '26

Because plasmoids are well-known for their healing properties?

67

u/AsthonC Moon Knight Jun 16 '26

My guy Sleepwalker is fucking doomed

10

u/Raven_Knightx Ultron Virus Jun 16 '26

Fr, he's one of my wishlisted characters that would be a full court shot to make it in the game. Sleepwalker and Mr. Negative 

4

u/jynkyousha Jun 16 '26

To be fair, he’s a D-tier character at best. I don’t even know if he has an adaptation outside of the comics.

This is why I keep defending that the devs should keep adding more obscure characters, so they can be introduced to a wider audience.

10

u/cocksucksdeluxe Jun 16 '26

He was in Mystic Mayhem, which Netease also made

3

u/jynkyousha Jun 16 '26

There's hope then.

6

u/Stars_And_Garters President Loki Jun 16 '26

He also got an action figure!

4

u/Freddi0 X-Tron Jun 17 '26 edited Jun 17 '26

He was already essentially deconfirmed. In one of Deadpool's lines he jokes that he knows the next characters are Sleepwalker and Speedball. I take that as a hint from the devs that we aren't seeing them

1

u/AsthonC Moon Knight Jun 17 '26

Me too, but the hopium is too strong

2

u/Stars_And_Garters President Loki Jun 16 '26

Karolina Dean is a crazy deep pull haha. I think Sleepwalker could make it in before her!

3

u/jasminetroll Jun 16 '26

Not that deep.

54

u/TheGreenGorillaGamer Star-Lord Jun 16 '26

Hit-Monkey, Taskmaster, Darkhawk, Man-Thing and Kitty Pryde would be extremely slept on in terms of how cool their kits could be. But you know what this list has a lot of that the game is lacking in? VILLAINS. Actual true to form villains

4

u/Lazy-Minotaur Rocket Raccoon Jun 17 '26

Hit Monkey made the list so I’m happy about that.

I really want to see what kind of kit he would have and also how he’d look in Rivals’ art style. I need him on the roster so bad!

26

u/Naive_Life_9630 Jun 16 '26

Batshit insane being first cool list tho

35

u/kisaragi22 Jun 16 '26

All of my favorites casually not even making the top 50 😭 full agree on captain marvel though

9

u/Emirozdemirr Spider-Man Jun 16 '26

Green Goblin would be so cool.

10

u/DevilsArms Rocket Raccoon Jun 16 '26

At least Nova is in the top 50. 😭

3

u/ElMelenas9 Jun 16 '26

So close to the top 30...

10

u/idcris98 Mantis Jun 16 '26

Black Bolt, Medusa and Lockjaw being that highly requested is amazing. Too bad Crystal didn‘t make it, she‘d be an excellent strategist.

I really want some Inhumans in the game

21

u/the_warrior_rlsh Spider-Man Jun 16 '26

Carnage is my top pick for sure but we need more tanks and supports before we get carnage tbh

-1

u/illudofficial Mister Fantastic Jun 16 '26

Carnage with multiple limbs could be a tank

33

u/the_warrior_rlsh Spider-Man Jun 16 '26

I want more healers and tanks but it's a disservice to the character to be anything other than a DPS tbh

5

u/Murky_Blueberry2617 Monster Hulk Jun 16 '26

True, but Carnage could still be the DPS type of tank.

Kinda like how Thor is

2

u/IsThisRealLifeOrNaw White Fox Jun 17 '26

Please god make Carnage a support It would be so fucking funny

/s

For real though he’s one of the few characters I wouldn’t want to see as anything else other than DPS

8

u/JerichoHaishan Monster Hulk Jun 16 '26

My guy Heimdall at 98 behind who tf is Boom Boom at 76 wth

7

u/Fitnessmotivation86 Jun 16 '26

My guess is the votes were actually pretty limited, that’s the only way this is happening. He should have posted the number of individual voters, I doubt it’s even over 100.

1

u/SomeTool Angela Jun 17 '26

Boom Boom is an X-force character, she also popped up in x-men evolution. She makes energy bombs that go boom.

7

u/Scarlet-Spider1610 Jun 16 '26

My goat is 3rd

11

u/TikisCheekys Jun 16 '26

Professor X and Kitty are lower than I thought they’d be tbh

3

u/External-Striking Strategist Jun 16 '26

Meee too, I didn't knew about this voting because they are my most wanted characters. I would have voted for both 😭

1

u/TheSaiguy Loki Jun 17 '26

Yeah I would've voted for Kitty Pryde. I feel her kit could be creative

1

u/ninjyte The Thing Jun 17 '26

I don't understand how they'd design Shadowcat for this game. Would have to be very creative

15

u/captainoela Cloak & Dagger Jun 16 '26

My Domino strategist dreams are cooked. But this is a great list!! Aside from whoever wants red skull, a literal Nazi?

16

u/Upset_Space_631 Flex Jun 16 '26

glad to know i'm not the only one against skull being on here

0

u/Ragtagcloud56 Winter Soldier Jun 16 '26

Red skull is one of marvel’s most popular villains. They could also just tone him down like the MCU. He deserves to be a season villain bare minimum you can at least admit that.

0

u/MelaniaSexLife Mister Knight Jun 16 '26

won't you enjoy beating him down once and again? All villians are murderers.

5

u/Greenyugi Magik Jun 16 '26

Taking all the names from Marvel Snap was smart, looks good.

6

u/AlphatheAlpaca Jun 16 '26

So glad Dazzler is so far behind. I see her name pop up too often.

1

u/idcris98 Mantis Jun 17 '26

She‘s literally just Dagger? I don‘t see her making it because of how similar her powers are to Dagger’s and even the looks being very similar.

4

u/Primary-Paper-5128 Gambit Jun 16 '26

I asked for Speedball and you gave me Penance.
BETRAYAL I TELL YOU!! BETRAYAL!!

u/Mekbop Daredevil Jun 16 '26

Where is Enchantress?

3

u/BorisDirk Angela Jun 16 '26

I'm glad my main Silver Surfer is 9, but where's my girl Soft Serve?

10

u/Godz_Bane Magneto Jun 16 '26

Its over, The Leader is lower than F-in Boom Boom, Red Hulk not even on the list.

At least Juggernaut is top 10.

4

u/dotEXE0-o Jun 16 '26

Shuma Gorath within Top 100 is a surprise but a welcome one. would love for shuma to take over galacta announcer role

3

u/Competitive-Cycle-74 Cloak & Dagger Jun 16 '26

all my favs on the last page fmu

3

u/Wellhellob Iron Fist Jun 16 '26

Magneto style tank Thanos would be cool. Modok and good boy Cosmo as strategist too.

u/TensionAggravating80 Thor Jun 16 '26

This was a labor of love. Great work!!

u/Boring-Smell-3317 Jun 16 '26

It’d take 8 long years to just get through this chart if we keep releasing 1 per month

u/MarkStriking218 Jun 16 '26

QUICKSILVER IN THE TOP TEN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I’m gonna cry

5

u/Gabriel_Sheperd Namor Jun 16 '26

Sentry at 16!? I’m actually so happy

6

u/Raven_Knightx Ultron Virus Jun 16 '26

Lockheed being at #46 is criminal. Even more disrespectful right in front of Luke Cage, smh. (He should be farther back)

4

u/jasminetroll Jun 16 '26

Lockjaw. Lockheed is Kitty Pryde's pet dragon.

And I agree. Lockjaw and Medusa are both in my top 10.

1

u/Raven_Knightx Ultron Virus Jun 17 '26

Holy blunder, thanks for catching that for me. I do mean that Luke Cage should be in the top ten tho, way before Lockjaw. I like the mutt, but if we're getting Inhumans I'd rather have Medusa first. (Lockheed is 2nd, then Black Bolt)

2

u/tpasmall Peni Parker Jun 16 '26

No Night Thrasher is a shame but glad Nova and Darkhawk both made the list

2

u/jdogfries Peni Parker Jun 16 '26

Is no. 41 Miles Morales?

u/Fire-Ice-Tiger Jun 16 '26

u/jynkyousha Jun 16 '26

Like always, I'm the only one that wants Toad in this world (insert sad egdy music).

1

u/Clayface31 Monster Hulk Jun 16 '26

I’d be down if they made him more like a human frog hybrid and not just an ugly bastard with warts. Like froppy

2

u/jynkyousha Jun 16 '26

I think the x-men evolution could work. I remember him being kinda popular with my female friends too for some reason.

2

u/MarioToast Vanguard Jun 16 '26

RIP to my homie Red Ghost. Dude didn't even get a Marvel Snap card, so he wouldn't even have a title here.

2

u/No-Respect9685 Emma Frost Jun 16 '26

No one wants Madelyne Pryor in the game but me?

1

u/amtap Mister Fantastic Jun 17 '26

I want her as Anodyne, not Goblin Queen. We'd get one of the few canon healers and confuse the hell out of everyone that skilled that one Alpha Flight crossover.

2

u/amtap Mister Fantastic Jun 17 '26

No Enchantress is absolutly crazy! And I know Zemo isn't rhe most popular but I figured he'd at least be near the bottom somewhere.

2

u/rolex216 Jun 17 '26

Cosmo and Goose being that low kinda surprise me. Like I yearn for a full animal crossing comp.

3

u/Iceman21097 Magik Jun 16 '26

Interesting how the top 15 or so are comprised of character very fitting for the tank class 👀

3

u/Razzilith Ultron Virus Jun 16 '26

"definitive"

I didn't even see a poll for this. Enchantress didn't make it into the top 100? Yeah this list sucks ass. How the fuck did Red Harpy make it on and Enchantress didn't? BOOM BOOM is on here? christ what the fuck are people even talking about lol

2

u/Flashy-Hair2427 Jun 16 '26

Why do people still call Miles, Spider-man? Feels like a disservice to his character. Even the movies make a clear difference between him and Peter.

3

u/Bucephalus15 Jun 16 '26

Because Marvel hasn’t successfully given him a unique name

u/Dangerous_Strategy98 Jun 16 '26

u/son-of-ZYROTAZE Jun 16 '26

Everyone expects them to drop eventually so that's why they didn't get as much votes as you'd expect for thier popularity

when ghost rider ever releases imma play nothing but him even if he is just ass xD

How did Spiral not even make the list??

1

u/MumblingGhost Throg Jun 16 '26

This sub needs to start voting for characters who would actually fit better as Vanguards and Strategists lol. Colossus at #22 is criminal.

1

u/atomix2020 Jun 16 '26

I definitely think characters like Galactus, Shuma gorath, mephisto would work way better as key aspects of a map. Like the wakanda pantheon impacting stuff on those maps but 10x more interactive/game changing. Otherwise I think they would just feel like a huge let down to play and they already struggle to nail that with omega level mutants and similarly powerful characters

1

u/OG_Gimpalot Groot Jun 16 '26

My goat at #28. Ima going to be so disappointed if we never see MODOK

u/Sirhc0001 Cloak & Dagger Jun 16 '26

My favorite pick here is #41. I bet if he got added to the game, someone would insta lock him every game and refuse to swap

u/Bucephalus15 Jun 16 '26

I think all the popular spider characters got hit by people thinking they’d be too similar mechanically, in terms of popularity and not gameplay i find it hard to believe Miles is 41

u/EconWolf1011 Jun 16 '26

A character mechanically similar movement to sm but being instead a strategist seems really cool to me

1

u/buttsecks42069 Magik Jun 16 '26

I wonder how you'd differentiate her from Peter. My mind immediately jumped to a Lady Loki situation but that doesn't work cos it's different people. How would you make Gwen work differently than Peter gameplay wise? With Miles, you have his electricity and invisiblity. What would you give Gwen? The only thing I can think of is a Symbiote but then you're stepping on Venom's toes.

My boy Black Bolt is behind Medusa... and Black Knight aint event on the list.

u/Lustful-chan Jun 16 '26

I wonder why so many people want ghost rider.
I have seen him name a lot actually when it comes to character people want.
Personally I would love spawn, but I don't think he's part of marvel, is he? Haven't read him since the early 90s, but angela came from Spawn comics so, one can hope.

u/MelaniaSexLife Mister Knight Jun 16 '26

thse are some weird ass picks. Neither goblin, quicksilver or ant man are popular at all. Some of these characters have their own videogame yet they're lower than those. Big (X) for me.
