Thanks for letting me put my two cents in, ladies!

Weak hero-up or not, I will of course continue to play her all the time. If you get a lot of enemies in a tight cluster, her 3rd power attack can be pretty damaging. I mostly ignore her hero-up and just use that instead. (Though her hero-up does have some uses if you briefly player her as control instead of damage - IE, putting a brief pause button on the fight so everybody can get their wits together.)

Ms. Marvel was my first hero to use in the game and so I always have a soft spot for her. But even without that she is one of the best heroes in the game. While her heroup is really weak it does have its uses with you are being clobbered by crowds.

Yeah that Hero-Up disappointed many but at least everything else makes up for it.

Virgo and Avenger Lady/Iron Princess appear to be on a roll! Nicely done, ladies!

I agree... Does it bother anyone else that a couple female heroes have overly "girly" or "lovey-dovey" moves...? It makes perfect sense for Spider-Woman to do a "kiss" move due to her pheromone powers... but Ms. Marvel's floating kiss with hearts doesn't really make any sense for her or her powers. I think there is a third one too, but I can't quite remember it at the moment.

I understand trying to appeal to a broad audience, but throwing in hearts or other types of stereotypically "girly" (or "manly," for that matter) elements for certain characters doesn't really work if it doesn't connect to the character. In contrast, Black Widow's third emote is perfect. It shows her more feminine side, but is also deeply connected to the character because of her roots being trained in ballet. It is easily one of my absolute favorite emotes because it shows loving detail by including a callback like this that fans of the character will appreciate.

What is it that they call her in the SHS Show? Ms. Grumpy Pants?

Yes, Ms. Marvel... In the SHS cartoon she is extremely bossy and obsessive about such things as cleaning. The rest of the squad calls her Ms. Grumpy Pants. ;)~

Ms. Cranky Pants, actually.

I actually hate they gave her that Hero-Up to appeal to female audiences. The only thing that made sense to me concerning it is the time when she was in love with M.O.D.O.K. on the SHS show but still a better attack would have been better in my opinion, also we are using a new design for the reviews courtesy of our friend Emilio Amaral.

Nice idea, and well executed.

Yes she is great! It is like Princess Puffin said,"She was my first hero in the game as well."

Rogue has a kissing move, but that is part of her powers. She-Hulk has the sunglasses move that seems really random. I don't know much about She-Hulk from the comics, but I don't think that's part of her powerset.

Gambit is a hero that has charm powers, but for some reason, they gave charm powers to Ms Marvel instead of him.

I like Ms Marvel, but I think most of my enjoyment comes from the fact that I like the character from the comics. In the game, I haven't played her since Firestar came out. Firestar has a very similar combo, but the final move is far better (much bigger AoE), and she has a great hero-up, so I consider her to be the upgraded version of Ms Marvel. Of course, they could release Binary, who is really the upgraded version of Ms Marvel, but she's probably too obscure.

It would be awesome if they made Binary.
