Media: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - Behind the Scenes with Stan Lee, and Ms. Marvel
August 17, 2009 | 2:20 PM PST
The countdown to the Civil War-inspired (not the North vs. South one, in case you're new to this) Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 continues, and this week Activision takes us behind the scenes of the game with none other than Stan "The Man" Lee.
Why is he "The Man?" Because he's "the man" who helped create much of the Marvel Universe at large, including Spider-man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Daredevil, Dr. Strange, Wolverine, and many more! So who better to take us on a tour of the game where they all beat the crud out of one-another?
Wait, what's that? He didn't create Wolverine? Oh, well who cares, then?
Up next: a vignette of another character who is taking part in the whole fracas, Carol Danvers, aka Ms. Marvel:
You know, I never cared very much for Danvers. She always seemed kind of... I don't know. Bitchy. I'm sorry, but it's really just about the only word I can think of to describe it. Maybe I've missed some really good stories with her, or it could just be the current regime of Marvel under Joe Quesada dragging her face across the pavement. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened to a character.
Oh well, at least I'll always have this moment from "The New Avengers/The Transformers:"
Oh, and by the way? Totally kidding about the Wolverine thing, I knew Stan Lee didn't make him all along. Still, his view of the whole Super Hero Registration Act is interesting, if a touch black-and-white.
