On one hand, that power fantasy is really hard to actually nail with balance issues in mind, and I feel like Marvel vs. Teaming him up with Storm and Loki, who sport their own freeze abilities, is also a nice bit of synergy.Īs for Dark Phoenix I could go either way. Other than a frost shield (that impacts the whole party, useful!) his abilities aren’t anything to write home about, but I dig that he gets around by blowing ice on the ground. His ice surfing kicked ass in the lesser-known Marvel Powers United VR, as well as any number of games he’s squeezed into over the years: you just don’t see a lot of frost powers these days and he fulfills that niche.

Gambit has been a go-to in the realm of gaming for several decades, with an undeniable sense of swagger, a badass bo-staff and flashy looking projectiles. If you need a full roster update I have an updated database here, but the new ones for this DLC are Cable, Gambit, Iceman and Dark Phoenix.Īll I can hear when I look at Gambit these days is “ kinetic card!” but he’s so much more than that iconic battle cry.

But Team Ninja had a plan: through both free and paid DLC, that roster would slowly grow into a formidable force. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 had some lingering issues at launch, most notably a lack of key cast members (the same fate that fell upon Marvel vs.
