Marvel Ultimate Alliance – New Trailer – Villains!
by Dru, filed in Comics, Games on Sep.28, 2006
A new Villains trailer is available for the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game RIGHT HERE, and it’s actually pretty sweet. It showcases a large number of villains, lists off some of the heroes, and shows off some of the battle locations in the process.
While all the heroes that flash by super-fast at the end are already listed on the official site, many of the villains shown are not, so here’s a rundown of who made an appearance:
- Doctor Doom
- Loki
- Fin Fang Foom (incorrectly spelled as FING Fang Foom)
- Blackheart (Mephisto’s son)
- Mephisto
- Mandarin
- Ymir (a frost giant, one of Thor’s enemies)
- Ultron
- Kurse (another Asgardian enemy of Thor’s)
- Ulik (a rock troll, ANOTHER Asgardian enemy of Thor’s)
- Arcade-Bot (presumably a robot of Arcade’s)
- and Galactus
So clearly, the game’s going to spend a decent chunk of time dealing with Asgardian problems, which hopefully means we’ll actually be in Asgard. This is some good thinking, as it can lead to some scenarios and scenery which will be completely unique from not only the rest of the game, but from other comparable games (like X-Men Legends, or the upcoming Justice League Heroes). By the way, if you’re too lazy to poke around their site yourself, you can find a full listing of currently revealed heroes and villains after the jump.
The heroes:
- Spider-Man
- Black Widow
- Nightcrawler
- Wolverine
- Namor
- Captain America
- Jean Grey (visible in her red ‘Dark Phoenix’ outfit in the trailer)
- Iceman
- Lilandra (A member of the alien Shi’ar race – Is this another Dark Phoenix tipoff?)
- The Thing
- Clea (Doctor Strange’s apprentice)
- Invisible Woman
- Thor
- Wong (Doctor Strange’s assistant – powerless, so he’s presumably non-playable)
- Corsair (Cyclops & Havok’s dad – He runs around space with a group called the Starjammers, and mostly hangs out with the Shi’ar)
- Ghost Rider
- Volla (a Norse goddess – Wikipedia says “She possessed precognitive powers, foretelling Ragnarok before dying.”)
- Doctor Strange
- Human Torch
- Blade
- Elektra
- Black Bolt
- Uatu (the Watcher – most likely non-playable)
- Heimdall (Asgardian – Guards the Rainbow Bridge which leads to Asgard)
- Silver Surfer
- Karnak (another Inhuman – his head is huge because he’s oh-so-smart)
- Nick Fury
- Professor X
And the villains:
- Baron Mordo (enemy of Doctor Strange)
- Blackheart (still Mephisto’s son)
- Fin Fang Foom (spelled correctly here, despite the trailer)
- Rhino
- Mandarin
- Shocker
- Mephisto
- The Wrecking Crew (specifically, Thunderball and Wrecker, though we’ve seen Piledriver and Bulldozer in another video)
- Ymir
- Loki
- and Doctor Doom
Just for the sake of completeness, here’s the new villains from the video above:
- Ultron
- Kurse
- Ulik
- Arcade-Bot
- and Galactus (admittedly not really new, as he’s featured prominently in other videos, but still not on the current listing)
