Not much explanation required really. Basically I thought it would be handy to make a list of all the currently active games and the playable characters in them to maybe have an idea on who we might be expecting next year for for MH17.
It's totally fine to refuse to believe this has any meaning, it's your choice, but I really do think the characters Marvel is trying to market are obvious and out there. And it's only a matter of time before certain characters start appearing in more games.
But just to try to prove my point, looking at the characters coming to MH this year or the ones that already came;
Green Goblin has appeared in other games than MH16 this year. He's getting there.
Elektra is already a popular choice in other games and is also coming to Avengers Academy soon if dataminers are correct or so I hear.
- Ultron. No explanation required. He is a movie villain, he is marketed a lot.
- Black Bolt. In many games and soon coming to MH16 as well as Puzzle Quest.
- Angela. Well marketed as well. She is rumored to be coming to Contest of Champions as well.
- Beast. One of the few X-Men to be in all 4 games they could possibly be. He has just been released in CoC.
- Nick Fury. This one isn't super popular but he appears in pretty much all games as NPC, so not that surprising.

I did something similiar to this a few months ago but this time I only took games that are still being updated/advertised by Marvel. These are the games:
Marvel Heroes 2016
Avengers Academy
- Avengers Alliance
- Avengers Alliance 2
- Future Fight
- Contest of Champions
- Marvel Tsum Tsum (this might confuse some of you but it is gettign released Worldwide soon)
- Marvel Puzzle Quest
The games I took out:
Lego Marvel Superheroes (not marketed any longer)
Lego Marvel Avengers (not marketed any longer)
- Mighty Marvel Heroes (shut down)
- Superhero Squad Online (not marketed or updated any longer)
- Disney Infinity (Any work on it has stopped)
Thanks for checking this out, any suggestions or correction for my mistakes are welcome.
And if you care at all about my opinion, imo, these characters are who we should be looking out for when it comes to team-up and playable hero releases for next year:
Wasp
Spider-Woman
- Falcon
- Gamora
- Drax
- Groot
- Quake
- Carnage
- And if their enhanced costume/team-up sells well definitely, Miles Morales, Kamala Khan and Jane Foster.
