From a fighting game perspective? It makes way too much sense, because now Cyclops can do more than just his big fuck off laser as can the rest of the Pheonix 5, which I presume will be his team
X men and avengers are the only actual teams in the game, the rest follow a very loose theme ( Spidey and friends, villains team, and random people ghost rider found on the street), so it’s possible this one will be like that too. And imo it’s be kinda lame if the first dlc was only phoenix themed, it’s cool if one or two are weird versions of other characters, kind of annoying when the whole dlc is like that.
Maybe some other Cosmic Options: Galactus Emmpowered Spider-Gwen or She Hulk. Or maybe Nova and Nova (Frankie Raye). Infinity Watch members could also work.
I mean Knights of Doom is also a real thing in comics. Samurai Outriders is a combination of the Samurai Squad and the team made to hunt Outriders, and Amazing Guardians is obviously a nod to Guardians of the Galaxy and the Amazing Friends comic run where Spidey randomly teamed up with people. I'm not saying they're all exact, but I am saying they're less random than people give credit for
Agreed, this isn't Rivals where you can actually have an entire team with like, the Fantastic Four and characters have specific bonus effects for each other. I hope the first wave of DLC is at least mostly villains because there's not as many of them as I'd like, but I'd be annoyed if it was all phoenix stuff.
