• Northstar Appears In Marvel Heroes MMORPG


    Marvel Heroes, the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game from Marvel and Gazillion Entertainment (Who also brought us the Marvel Super Hero Squad: Hero Up game) is currently in it's Beta trials before a main launch on June 4th.

    One Beta player and Alpha fan, GingrBeard, has provided us with a screenshot and this video footage of a cameo of Northstar within the game:

    Whilst not a playable character this is a good sign for the team, with more characters being added to the game as it goes on, and Northstar being an obvious choice after his prominent year in the spotlight in 2012.

    This marks the second time Northstar has appeared in a video game, after X-Men Destiny.


    Marvel Heroes is a FREE-TO-PLAY action-packed massively multiplayer online game created by David Brevik, the visionary behind Diablo and Diablo 2. Set in the iconic Marvel Universe, Marvel Heroes combines the core game-play style of Action RPGs and MMOs with the expansive library of heroes from the Marvel Universe. In the game, players can collect and play as their favorite Marvel Superheroes (including Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider Man, Captain America and many others). Team up with friends and try to stop Doctor Doom from devastating the world with the power of the Cosmic Cube in a story written by Marvel comic super-scribe Brian Michael Bendis.

      That is great! I'm glad he is part of the game. I get why Marvel uses their cash-cows (Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America) as playable characters, but I am soooooooo bored of them! I guess most peoplee out there don't see the over exposure as most people aren't interested in comics as much as we are. It seems "fresh" to them.

      I am in the beta for this and I am enjoying it. I recently made it to the area where you find Northstar and was pleasantly surprised to see him. He even has the accent. I am hoping they make some of the Alpha flight characters available.

      Server wipe prevented access to that area. The game goes live for me next Friday. As I progress through I will post pics of any Alphans or news about playable Alphans.
