Atomic Mass Video games is bringing the Marvel Monsters tomorrow however right here’s a number of extra “monsters” we’d like to see in Marvel: Disaster Protocol!
The Monsters Unleashed Character Pack is on the way in which and must be in shops tomorrow. I received a take a look at the contents already and I’m thrilled about these characters. However that received Ben and I considering of some extra “monsters” characters we each need within the sport. Now, when you’re questioning why monsters is in quotes its as a result of these characters aren’t conventional monsters like those within the pack. Nonetheless, they’re fairly monstrous — at the very least of their visuals. So let’s dive in!
Ch’od
Okay, I do know what you’re most likely considering: “Wait, isn’t that simply Abomination…with a gun?” And I can see the similarities. However no. That’s Ch’od. He’s truly one of many founding members of the Starjammers. I wished to incorporate him as a result of we ARE getting Gladiator. So there could possibly be complete Shi’ar factor occurring.
Additionally, Ben wished him on this record as a result of he look much like the Creature From The Black Lagoon…and yeah. I agree. I feel he’d be a bodily powerhouse so I’d most likely slot him in that Frankenstein’s Monster slot.
Wolfsbane
Okay, this isn’t the best picture of Rahne Sinclair, aka Wolfsbane. However she was a member of The New Mutants and in addition X-Pressure. She’s additionally been related to the X-Males a bunch. However she’s on the record as a result of she’s mainly a werewolf. And I do know there’s extra to her powers than that…however it is a record for “monsters” and she or he might completely be that character. Though, she’s not the one one…
Wendigo
Whereas it could be tempting to fit Wendigo into the identical kind of spot as a “Werewolf” that’s not totally correct. This monster is definitely based mostly (loosely) on the Algonquian folks‘s legend. The Wendigo isn’t just a single particular person however as a substitute a creature that’s the manifestation of a curse. That curse is derived from an act of cannibalism. So there’s not simply one of them.
Many Wendigos have battled different characters over time. Hulk and Wolverine most likely leap to thoughts the quickest. However they’ve additionally battled with the likes of Alpha Flight, Spider-Man, and even She-Hulk, too.
Due to Wendigo’s cursed origins, I’d slot this character near one thing like a Mummy or a creature with a barely extra mystic bend. It’s a bodily risk for certain. However there’s some mystical regeneration that occurs due to the curse.
Morbius
Yeah. It’s Morbin’ Time. Morbius, the Dwelling Vampire, will fill in that “vampire” slot properly. And look, I do know in regards to the film and we’re simply going to disregard that, okay? Within the comics he’s higher and his story is arguably significantly better. Plus he’s not within the sport and there’s at all times room for extra Spider-Mates/Fiends.
Bonus: Sasquatch
That is actually only a backdoor technique to get Alpha Flight added however I additionally like Sasquatch. Possibly it’s as a result of I noticed Harry and the Hendersons as a child and at all times like the concept of a sort, however misunderstood “Bigfoot” there to assist. If you happen to’re not accustomed to the character’s origins, it’s an fascinating one. With out going into all the main points, Dr. Walter Langkowski is a physicist and was mainly making an attempt to develop into Canada’s Hulk by experimenting with Gamma Radiation. It labored. Form of.
Anyhow, I like Sasquatch and I’d take into account him in both the Mummy or Frank’s slot. He’s additionally a freakin’ genius, too. So he’s received the ability of science on his aspect.
