I'm pumped for MUA2 and all the new powers we'll get to use. But Songbird? Sorry to sound like a wet blanket, but there are about a thousand other characters in the Marvel Universe I'd rather play... I like the choice, if we will have Thunderbolts representation in the game, she's definitely got to be there.
Her powers are good for visual effects and video game dynamics, too, so she will be... I really hope Moon Knight gets included in this game. |
