to be a disaster. Ever since the first teaser came out over three years ago, every glimpse at the game, from trailers to gameplay demos, was widely met with snark and derision, or, at best, utter disinterest. Between the relentlessness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the overexposure of superheroes in general, and legit concerns over the game’s direction, the buzz on this thing could only be described as bad.
Of all the complaints that kept popping up before release, the most frequent one came down to its character models. People couldn’t get past the fact that the game didn’t license the likenesses of the actors who played these characters in the Marvel movies.
Take Iron Man. The guy seen in those trailers clearly isn’t Robert Downey Jr., but he has a goatee, quips as much as an obnoxious sitcom character, and loves the kind of classic rock songs my uncle can half-play on guitar. In the opening scene he makes a dramatic entrance during an Avengers fan festival, soaking up the adulation just like Downey’s Iron Man does in.
Kamala Khan might be a relatively new character, but she’s already made several appearances in Marvel videogames and animated programs. She’s effectively a modern-day Spider-Man—a nerdy, awkward teenager suddenly thrust into a life of heroism, only without 60 years of history as baggage, and with a Muslim heritage that makes her a perfect superhero for today’s multicultural America.
