Developer Blog Finding Her Voice: The Making of Songbird in MUA2

Steven Nelson (Senior Animator), Bryan Shutt (Art Director), Dave Phillips (Concept Artist) talk about the newly introduced Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 character, Songbird.

Steve

Being a Visual Effects artist in the game industry is pretty awesome. Being a Visual Effects artist on a game that has 20 some odd Super Heroes is a dream. Then you add on fusions to that.... Wow. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say that fusions are BIG. They’re also a huge load of work as well.

The realism of the effects needed, combined with the amount of work there was to do led us to having a pretty large effects team. We have a very large number of playables, each of which needed a unique suite of super powers. They also all needed to “fuse” with every other one of the playable characters while still retaining their own flavor each and every time. In addition, we have the effects for the enemies and boss battles, not to mention the environmental effects like rain and paper blowing across a level.

Considering those are only the big ticket items, I have no problem saying that this is one of the most effects-heavy games to date.

To help me illustrate a little bit what we do, I am going to talk about our newest revealed character, Songbird. My goal going into the visuals for her effects was completely based on my feeling that she was an under-appreciated character, especially given how badass her powers are. However, there's no reason you can't look your best while laying waste to some Anti-Reg extremists.

Dave

Songbird was one of the easier characters to concept since we already liked her design a lot and decided that we really didn’t want to change all that much. We had lots of great reference material but ultimately it was Marko Djurdjevic’s cover art from the Thunderbolts (series #111-121) that really resonated with us. We felt that his overall art style and costume designs perfectly suited the look we were going for – A kind of gritty realism with more subdued colors and a great attention to detail. The covers are very beautifully painted and we wanted some of that illustrative quality to come through in our models as well. Additionally, we liked how Marko gave Songbird a harder look rather than being just another pretty face: her expressions are tense and serious. Of course, we still wanted to make Songbird attractive, but we tried to choose a likeness that conveyed her underlying emotions in a more believable manner.

Bryan

If you want to see the primary inspiration for her costume, then check out the cover of Thunderbolts Vol 1 #115. We tried to get close to this look with a few minor embellishments here and there. We liked its sleek, streamlined design; the armor and the belt are more minimalist but we’ve also added some pink accent lights to hint at her powers.

Steve

When we’re concepting how the powers should look, we start by looking at reference material (in this case, the Thunderbolts trades from Civil War) and try to figure out how we can translate the look of the drawn comic book into the look of our game. We also need to figure out how everything's going to look in motion. Once we actually have some assets created, we go into the game itself and start to layer in the effects. Once we get close to the look that we are going for, we have a peer review and throw out ideas on how to push the final visual even further.

As most of you know, Songbird solidifies sound waves into objects, which she can use for a number of purposes on the battlefield. Given that information, one of our concept artists, Dave Phillips, came up with a really stunning piece of art for her “wings,” and we ended up basing the look of her powers largely on that. We also spent a great deal of time looking at the Thunderbolts "Faith in Monsters" arc: Steve Mcniven's art inspired a lot of the detail on our Songbird power effects.

Bryan

We all really liked Dave's concept for Songbird, as well as his other character designs. He's done an incredible job translating Marvel’s beloved characters from the printed page into detailed layouts that the modelers can then use to begin their work. From there, it’s a back and forth process to get everything just right. Character design was big responsibility for us, knowing that we had to please both Marvel as well as the discerning fans, but it was also a lot of fun.

Pink is a trademark color for Songbird, so you’ll be seeing a lot of different manifestations of “sonic pinkness.” She’s got these big, beautiful “wings” that sprout off her back that allow her to fly and hover. Steve Nelson got the wings to look almost exactly like the concept art; he really did a great job of capturing the pulsing, concentric sound waves, keeping an ethereal look while also making them look solid enough to support Songbird's weight. Both the Fusions and the Effects teams have done an amazing job translating all of Songbird’s powers and abilities into fun, playable move sets. Like many of the other characters you’ll be hearing about, some of Songbird’s powers were inspired by the comics, and some are completely new ideas.

Steve

The entire process of developing the finished look for the wings ended up taking about three weeks total. This was a relatively large investment for a single effect, but we were completely satisfied with the result, and developing her wings gave us the know-how to create the rest of her visual effects, as well as many others in the game.

Steve

My logic for the particles emitting from wings was based on the idea that creating solid objects from sound would probably have some sort of by-product, much like how a car has exhaust (as if the sound wasn’t all being completely converted into usable mass). This effect is also noticeable in many of her other powers, especially the ones where she’s creating solid matter rather than simple sound blasts.

One of the other goals with Songbird was to have a strong female hero who was tough, but still really fun to play and (dare I say it), a little “girly.” I showed my wife Songbird, and those pink sparkly explosions of pain and destruction sucked her right into a co-op game.

Overall though, my hope is that our work on Songbird will push her up the list of peoples’ favorite characters. She’s definitely been one of the most fun to work on.

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

Her wings look cool but they are a little too much like a butterfly for me. She is SongBIRD after all.

APoorLittleSeal's avatar

Posted by: APoorLittleSeal on 06/23/09

That is a good point. I wondered where the BIRD essence would come into play. Maybe they are different on some of the alternate costumes.

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 03/31/09

Especially the beam attack

Agreed, this is a welcome sight for sore PS2 eyes raspberry

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

Upgrading MUA from PS2 graphics to next gen (360) was great - this game makes MUA1 look really outdated! I love the look of the game so far.

matthood5's avatar

Posted by: matthood5 on 03/30/09

Yeah, Songbirds wings in particular look fantastic.

phoenix212's avatar

iron24's avatar

It looks like IM’s fusions are awesome, the one in the trailer with Wolverine is incredible. I can hardly wait to unleash these fusions on goons and bosses.

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/03/09

Its gonna take me a while to try out every single one but I’m gonna do it!

APoorLittleSeal's avatar

Iron_Man's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

I can’t wait to find out Iron Mans costumes in MUA 2

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 04/11/09

It will be interesting to see if when you change skins you get a couple different powers or will they be the same from suit to suit and I am not talking about the passives.

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 05/03/09

That’d be cool. Like a Hulkbuster one with great defense, a War Machine with different weapons, etc

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/05/09

I dont know about that

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

I really hope Hulkbuster is in, such a cool suit

Thanos's avatar

Posted by: Thanos on 03/29/09

Damn straight

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yep Iron Man looking great in screenshots

FireMadeFlesh's avatar

I’m so happy we have a sonic character! I can’t wait to see more!

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

Poor Banshee missed out haha, but I’ll be sure to use Songbird.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Rather have Songbird than Banshee in game though

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 05/03/09

Agreed, she’s relevant to the story and probably means we get a Thunderbolts team :D

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

Hope we ge Bullseye, GG, and Venom to complete the T-bolts

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/04/09

So will i cant wait to try her out

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/05/09

I will too and dont feel bad

APoorLittleSeal's avatar

Posted by: APoorLittleSeal on 06/23/09

I’m sad she is only pro because I will probably go anti when I first play.

FroBoy11's avatar

Posted by: FroBoy11 on 03/16/09

Man, she looks pretty cool. I think I might enjoy using her.

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 03/16/09

i will give her a go but i have to say she does look very cool tongue wink

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/27/09

Heh I give everyone a try so I’ll definitely be using her

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yeah just like in MUA 1 I will try all the characters

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

She will be higher on my list of characters to try since she is completely new.

john317's avatar

Posted by: john317 on 03/16/09

Thanks for the screens of her, with reveal! I hope this means you guys are thinking about actual Marvel teams of 4 characters(thunderbolts for her). Hopefully, the other great actual Marvel teams will be as well represented in the game. Ilumanati with Blackbolt, original X-men, original Avengers with one of the Pyms, New Avengers with Iron Fist, etc. Thanks for all the hard work you guys are putting in. this game is looking really amazing and like your thinking along with us, is most areas.

Japkin's avatar

Posted by: Japkin on 03/16/09

An excellent choice! Looking forward to having her on the team!

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/30/09

I’d like to see some videos soon :D

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

I want to see a video that will show me how the wings appear when you start flying.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

More videos for sure

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

I expect a team of 4 Thunderbolts atleast in MUA 2 now that Songbird is in

The Might Thor's avatar

Posted by: The Might Thor on 03/16/09

Those screens look awesome! Love seeing MUA next-generation graphics!

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/27/09

Agreed, neat looking fusion going on as well

matthood5's avatar

Posted by: matthood5 on 03/30/09

Yeah, this has looked great so far.

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

so far all the fusions look great smile lets hope they all do

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yeah in the time between the 2 MUA games advances are being made in Next Gen consoles better understanding on how far they can go this time with the technology available today

Naxohh's avatar

Posted by: Naxohh on 03/16/09

J 8493's avatar

Posted by: J 8493 on 05/05/09

well believe it lol

randomdude's avatar

Posted by: randomdude on 03/16/09

she looks pretty sweet, and fun to play as, but the wings are a little overexaggerated. still, looks cool

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/30/09

It could just be the picture raspberry

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 03/31/09

I think they look just right

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yeah look fine to me too

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

Same just looks normal

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

I dont think she’s flying in that pic so the glow could just be part of the power.

Brohara's avatar

Posted by: Brohara on 03/16/09

Great. She’s one piece of the puzzle. Looking forward to more discussion on the other characters too. Iron Man rocks in these shots. Can’t wait to play as Iron Man putting together his team (I’m really hoping Iron Man has no playability limitations… he’s completely playable, right?). Keep up the great anticipation! Thanks!

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yep he is playable but only as PRO REG as I understand from this time of posting

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 04/11/09

Like you Brohara IM will be my #1 play, followed by Thor, and then I will mix it up a little bit. The Hulk, Songbird, Mr. Fantastic, Storm and so forth to determine the best two to pair with IM and Thor.

Songbird? Unexpected, kinda, but very welcome.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Unexpected maybe but I was expecting alot of surprise choices to be playable

The Might Thor's avatar

Posted by: The Might Thor on 03/16/09

Marko Djurdjevic inspired, The Wings… you guys made me a believer! I’m going to cry for joy now…

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/28/09

Hmm I’d rather have Frost over a certain ginger that’s for sure lol

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

:O aww :(

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

ahaha, yeah… Emma Frost would be good to have and I wouldnt mind Jean either, but Emma Frost would be a bit better.

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

agreed we need Jean Grey now smile

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Hopefully Jean will be in too

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

There should be more women in MUA 2 than MUA 1 already 3 up with Sue,Storm & now Songbird I expect alot more

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

That looks like just 2 I meant Sue Richards, Storm & Songbird lol

dianaprince3's avatar

Posted by: dianaprince3 on 03/16/09

I’m sold. Great job guys.

Leoweb's avatar

Posted by: Leoweb on 03/16/09

Maybe we can expect an alternate “Screaming Mimi” costume, can’t we?

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

Oh that would be sweet! I like that costume.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

That would be an interesting costume lol

Justinpyro's avatar

Posted by: Justinpyro on 03/16/09

ok i like songbird!.... but still disappointing i would much rather have a hero like SENTRY or MS. Marvel! I hate playing as villains lol! but oh well we still have TEN more spots to go plus the bonus characters that they prob wont reveal to us! PLEASE LET US HAVE 4-6 PLAYABLE X-MEN ON ALL SYSTEMS!!!!

Darkknight95's avatar

Posted by: Darkknight95 on 03/16/09

Ms. Marvel??

really?

Spacehart's avatar

Posted by: Spacehart on 03/17/09

and whats wrong with Ms. Marvel? her solo title is awesome, she is totally badass. and if your opinion of her is solely based on MUA1, well then i cant help you because thought she was pretty good in that.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yep agreed Ms Marvel would be awesome roster member

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/05/09

She is a wierd one but she should be in

Captain Spidey's avatar

Posted by: Captain Spidey on 05/30/09

She would be great in this game… I’m sure that she will be NPC at the very least!

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 06/04/09

She deserves to be in. Ms Marvel is like Marvel’s only woman superhero. Of course there are Invisible Woman, Emma Frost, etc. But they aren’t independent. Ms Marvel is.

Spacehart's avatar

Posted by: Spacehart on 03/17/09

Songbird isnt a villain, so you can put you playable villain-phobia to bed on this character, she is a reformed villain (and so is hawkeye, quicksilver and scarlet witch) to be sure, but she is very much a heroic character these days.

Pink Austin's avatar

Posted by: Pink Austin on 03/26/09

i hope they have 4-6 x-men too i love x-men they r my fave thing about marvel

matthood5's avatar

Posted by: matthood5 on 03/30/09

Yeah I love the X-Men, Jean, Cyclops and all the rest :D

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

Agreed for x men we NEED Jean Grey, cyclops Storm and wolverine + cable and any other x character apart fomr bishop, Iceman, nightcrawler tongue wink IMO

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

I think that we should get 5 X-men, because Wolverine basically fits into most other teams. And Beast is an Avenger and Emma is part of the Dark Reign.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Hopefully 5-6 playable from starting 24 maybe more unlockable and DLC too

jackolantern's avatar

Posted by: jackolantern on 03/16/09

awesome! I can’t wait to see what she can do! Please put in the Beetle!

rocky's avatar

Posted by: rocky on 03/16/09

i’ve actually never heard of her before.
but based on what this says AND shows, i can tell she’s gonna be one of MY faves along w/ spidey, haha.
her powers seem really cool too, i mean come on, sound wave manipulation and creation, that sounds reeeaaally cool :D

Captain Spidey's avatar

Posted by: Captain Spidey on 03/16/09

Really? Hmm… Going to have to look her up now. Hope she cuts it.

WhitePhoenix's avatar

Posted by: WhitePhoenix on 03/16/09

This look great! Songbird will be definitly in my Team! I like her wings, great job! (I just can imagine the character I want most being re-worked...)

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

Ummm Jean Grey/phoenix? tongue wink

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

Yeah, I’m guessing her, lol

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

My guess too lol

X_Man's avatar

Posted by: X_Man on 03/16/09

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/30/09

Agreed, I like seeing new faces

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

Me too, I hope we see some more new female faces too.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yep She Hulk & Jean Grey & Emma Frost to name a few lol

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

I would rather Black Cat than those you mentioned

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/04/09

Yep, i find it more interesting when characters are un expected.

weaponx05's avatar

Posted by: weaponx05 on 03/16/09

Wow, I can’t wait to play as Songbird! She looks awesome, the screen shots are awesome...I’m looking forward to the game much, much more!

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

Agreed smile I hope cable is in!

Naxohh's avatar

Posted by: Naxohh on 04/06/09

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

Well, lucky for us, Naxohh, Storm is already confirmed

sounds cool! At least is songbird, and not Ms. Marvel…

mrflex's avatar

Posted by: mrflex on 03/16/09

At first I was kind of hoping Songbird would not make it in the game, but after reading this and realizing how much effort the design team put into this, I’m excited and will be looking forward to giving her a try.

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/27/09

Agreed, I’d rather not see Ms Marvel playable again, although I think she will be

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

Yeah I wouldnt mind is Ms Marvel got left out in favour of another female avenger because I like seeing new characters.

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Ms Marvel one of the best female characters in Marvel hopefully she is in MUA 2

Cwins1133's avatar

Posted by: Cwins1133 on 03/16/09

Spidermark's avatar

imchrisru's avatar

Posted by: imchrisru on 03/16/09

Great news, Songbird has been an amazing character since the start of Thunderbolts in the 90s! I’m glad to see she made it!

Howlingatthemoon's avatar

Posted by: Howlingatthemoon on 03/16/09

This news is SO awesome!! I have been crossing my fingers and hoping that the devs really would listen to us and give us what we want...something new!! Songbird is going to be an amazing new addition to the roster and I cant wait to play as her!!

BartonIsHawkeye88's avatar

Posted by: BartonIsHawkeye88 on 03/16/09

NICE ONE!
a huge surprise
(but i guess that was the point lol)
now if I get my Hawkeye(the real one Clint Barton), we could have one helluva TBolts team

Spidermark's avatar

im actually happy with songbird....kinda makes me think you guys picked her over dazzler though =]
she looks great and her wings look awesome except for one thing...her name is song BIRD yet you guys gave her butterfly wings?

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 03/30/09

I agree with the whole butterfly wing comment. They look great but don’t really fit! It is still nice to have a character that I don’t really know anything about in the game.

matthood5's avatar

Posted by: matthood5 on 03/30/09

Lol, I think Songbird just refers to her powers in general being sound based.

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

lol yes it does tongue wink

I am also happy too see a new face hopefully she will be a great addition to the marvel ultimate alliance 2 teaam

Modren44's avatar

Posted by: Modren44 on 03/17/09

Color me completely surprised.

She’s one of my favorite characters. I was actually stuck on the march reveal between Sentry, Ms.Marvel and Songbird… until some one swayed my opinion on the “energy blasts” clue.

Never again! Great choice guys! She looks awesome!

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/27/09

Yeah the energy blast clue was sneaky, that’s why I’m pretty unclear of this next reveal raspberry Hopefully the next clue will point towards Cable :D

phoenix212's avatar

Spidermark's avatar

With Songbird in I expect Venom Green Goblin & Hawkeye to join her maybe another like Bullseye

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

Yeah I hope so

Leoweb's avatar

Posted by: Leoweb on 03/17/09

Talking about more T-Bolts, in this piece of news by IGN it was “confirmed” that Venom and Green Goblin would be in the game. So we only need one more character to form a T-Bolts team.

HerNameIsJean's avatar

Posted by: HerNameIsJean on 03/17/09

Thanks much! She’ll be on my team for sure. I CANT WAIT!!!!

HerNameIsJean's avatar

Posted by: HerNameIsJean on 03/17/09

Know what though! The females’ hair all look flat. Gotta have some bounce and life to their hair. Please fix that. A woman with bad hair is not that hot.

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 06/04/09

Agreed. Of course flat hair is easier to animate, but these characters are gorgeous in comic books. I’d like them to be recognizable. Some curly hair would be appreciated.

WOLVERINEUNCAGED's avatar

Posted by: WOLVERINEUNCAGED on 03/17/09

WOW. that looks pretty sweet..might have to add her to my list of team members to use when the game comes out (=

juicebeast's avatar

Posted by: juicebeast on 03/17/09

she looks cool

StormSnake's avatar

Posted by: StormSnake on 03/18/09

Why do they always give the females such flat hair?

Listen Developers, before the game is complete, please FIX Storm’s and SongBird’s hair.

Storm is known for having big long hair and instead it looks short and flat in this game.

Songbird is suppose to have long hair for that outfit and instead it’s freakin’ short.

PLEASE FIX THEIR HAIR!!!

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 03/30/09

Did we see the same trailer? Storm’s hair looked thick and lovely.

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

LOL I thought her hair was fine to same with songbirds tbh hair isn’t that important to me but it looks good any way

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Not too bothered about hair at the minute lol by lauch of game I am sure it all will be great

XCyke's avatar

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/28/09

Well News Lad said most characters would join whatever side you chose, I suppose a few are locked in like Iron Man, Mr Fantastic, Luke Cage, and Captain America

floydix's avatar

redfox's avatar

Posted by: redfox on 03/21/09

One of her screenshots reminded me of Psylocke too lol

J 8493's avatar

J 8493's avatar

Posted by: J 8493 on 05/05/09

Yeah they should

matthood5's avatar

Posted by: matthood5 on 03/28/09

I wonder what that fusion with Iron Man is?

phoenix212's avatar

Posted by: phoenix212 on 04/01/09

so do I , can’t really tell what Iron man is doing

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

well, because Iron Man is standing infront of the prism its hard to see… but he’s probably shooting a beam out of his palm into the solid-sound shape.

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 04/07/09

well, its an energy beam being refracted by a prism.

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 03/28/09

Hmm just noticed this, I wonder what’s up with that guy’s green nightstick in the first pic. Hopefully we can take it and beat him with it :D

Spidermark's avatar

Posted by: Spidermark on 04/10/09

Yeah that would be fun like in MUA 1 I hope weapons will play part

Boy Banshee's avatar

Posted by: Boy Banshee on 03/30/09

Let me control Song Bird for a few minutes and I bet I could do some kind of property damage with her.

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 04/11/09

But really though, I think Song Bird will have an interesting move set that should be fun to use.

lobo_mr's avatar

Posted by: lobo_mr on 04/12/09

I guess her fusions would be cool.

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 04/12/09

beastfromtheeast's avatar

The White Knight's avatar

Thats true, but at least we have them in the game now.

Fixer's avatar

Posted by: Fixer on 04/18/09

PLEASE let this mean we’ll see other Thunderbolt characters!!!

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 05/03/09

Yeah I’m sure we’ll have Venom (Gargan) and Green Goblin, we just need a 4th

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 04/19/09

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 04/20/09

The Thunderbolts consist of a lot of really popular super beings. I’m sure we will see a few more in there.

Ironman is lookin sweet!

I sure hope that we can get some more new characters (i count hawkeye as new, because i have a wii so he was unavailable to me)

moonrang's avatar

Posted by: moonrang on 04/24/09

i think they should put elctro as a playable character

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 04/25/09

Sure, why not.

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 04/25/09

BartonIsHawkeye88's avatar

Posted by: BartonIsHawkeye88 on 04/26/09

i dont think so. but id prefer ms marvel (carol) anyway

beastfromtheeast's avatar

Posted by: beastfromtheeast on 05/03/09

I think Songbird, Moonstone, Venom, and Green Goblin would make a good T-Bolts team

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 04/26/09

S-o-u-n-d-s great! Can’t wait to see her in action.

Crescent_jason's avatar

Guyver of War's avatar

Posted by: Guyver of War on 04/28/09

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 04/29/09

I’m hoping for 6-7 females.

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/08/09

Yeah same

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/17/09

They better start revealing some females soon then! They’re quite outnumbered so far.

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 04/30/09

Yeah, thats what I was thinking too.

Rusty_26's avatar

J 8493's avatar

Posted by: J 8493 on 05/04/09

I was happy with this reveal

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/05/09

Yep better than others

J 8493's avatar

Rusty_26's avatar

J 8493's avatar

I think she replaced jean in this game I hope not

Rusty_26's avatar

Posted by: Rusty_26 on 05/05/09

J 8493's avatar

Roxxy's avatar

OMG CAN U ADD EMMA FROST PLZ!!!!!!!!

trinity's avatar

Posted by: trinity on 05/12/09

Songbird is a great edition to the ultimate alliance but I beg you to add emma frost I love her shes the reason I bought 3 copies of xmen legends 1 and the reason i didnt buy xmen legends 2 (because she was not in it) and if you feel she is a useless character or does not have a big enough fan baes to add i will do whatever it takes to promote her so that next game she will lead :D

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

I agree, Emma was good in XML, I hope shes at least DLC in this game

Superdude602's avatar

Posted by: Superdude602 on 05/13/09

They should go ahead and make an XML3 game...because most people only seem to be asking for X-Men characters to make it into the game.

Jean FTW!!

SpideyWolvie's avatar

Posted by: SpideyWolvie on 05/13/09

XML3 would be good, but I would miss Spidey, Thor, Iron Man, and others

trinity's avatar

Posted by: trinity on 05/14/09

I would ask for others like dagger or elektra but I REALLy want emma lol :D

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/30/09

Would love Emma Frost she rocked in XML 1 so I would love to see her in this game, much more than Jean Grey.

Helllion's avatar

Posted by: Helllion on 05/18/09

hell yes!
Emma Frost, Songbird, Jean Grey and Crystal
would kick ass

and we need XML3, xmen are my favourite marvel...anything really
>.<

Dark Desires's avatar

Posted by: Dark Desires on 05/19/09

I dont know the character much, but i just wish Ms.Marvel would appear somewhere.

DmcG120's avatar

Posted by: DmcG120 on 05/19/09

Yeah shes good too.
It is to my understanding that songbird was with hawkeye at somepoint.

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 05/31/09

Agreed. I’ll be disappointed if Ms. Marvel does not fet in. She’s one of the most important characters in MU right now.

DmcG120's avatar

Posted by: DmcG120 on 05/19/09

She looks like she’ll be fun to play as.

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 05/20/09

Any chance on seeing a video with Songbird?

Phoenix724's avatar

Posted by: Phoenix724 on 05/21/09

BRING JEAN GREY/PHOENIX IN!!

iron24's avatar

Posted by: iron24 on 05/28/09

Man did Songbird look cool in the latest trailer and we got to see her and IM’s awesome fusion, very sweet! She is definitely going to be a character I try out.

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 05/31/09

I liked her profile video - it showed off some cool stuff!

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 06/03/09

Song Bird looked great in new gameplay-footage.

Lanowar's avatar

Posted by: Lanowar on 06/03/09

The ellis Thunderbolt stuff was amazing glad that’s there main source of inspiration for this. Looking forward to leading the Thunderbolts to greater glorly!

Doogieee's avatar

Posted by: Doogieee on 06/03/09

According to many websites Songbird and the other Thunderbolts
will only be playble on the Pro-side but as proven all characters
are playble on either side execpt Cap,Luke,Mr fantastic
and iron-man

FinlandMan's avatar

Posted by: FinlandMan on 06/04/09

Yes, this is true. Song Bird will be one of those 20 characters, who follow you regardless of how you choose.

Spider Boy's avatar

Posted by: Spider Boy on 06/05/09

Who is Songbird?

Spider Boy's avatar

Posted by: Spider Boy on 06/05/09

There are characters more deserving than Songbird like Silver Surfer or Elektra or even Howard the Duck. Not Songbird.

Geoforce2009's avatar

Posted by: Geoforce2009 on 06/08/09

OMG. I cannot wait till this game comes out. I cannot wait to kick captain america’s butt in this game.

Geoforce2009's avatar

Posted by: Geoforce2009 on 06/08/09

Songbird looks sooooo cool!!!! But venom looks waaaayyyyyy cooler than dumb dumb songbird. Besides, the hulk or magneto would pwn songbird anyway. And why didn’t they use the original venom instead of the new venom, scorpion.

young avenger 9's avatar

Posted by: young avenger 9 on 06/09/09

she looks HOT!!!!!!!

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/15/09

I’m glad they added the video to her blog!

Helllion's avatar

Posted by: Helllion on 06/15/09

how come her profile only has a “Pro-Reg” dossier?
i thought she was meant to be one that you can play as no matter which side you choose?

Jadryx's avatar

Posted by: Jadryx on 06/17/09

She is probably locked to Pro-reg like Iron Fist is probably locked to Anti-reg (I don’t think that has been officially confirmed though)

Helllion's avatar

Posted by: Helllion on 06/19/09

thats what i figured but then there was this video
http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/25213
which has her and Cap. America in the same team, so i don’t know anymore whats going on with her

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 06/18/09

Yeah, I could see her being locked to pro reg!

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 06/18/09

I wonder who the remaining characters will be!

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 06/21/09

I think she should be locked on the pro team!

The White Knight's avatar

Posted by: The White Knight on 06/21/09

I wonder what kind of damage I will be able to do with her?

DarkMagick's avatar

Posted by: DarkMagick on 06/25/09

YAAAAAY!!!! i can’t wait to play her!! :]

one_and_only786's avatar

Posted by: one_and_only786 on 06/27/09

And her fusion with Ironman is soooooooo cool!!! I can’t wait to play as her!

DarkAvengersRock's avatar

Posted by: DarkAvengersRock on 07/02/09

Bruteria's avatar

I never knew much about the character, but her inclusion in the game is inspiring me to check out some old Thunderbolts comics.

Silver X's avatar

Her moves and wings look awesome!! Cant wait to try her.

lcboi's avatar

Posted by: lcboi on 08/22/09

Love Songbird can’t wait to use her, I wouldn’t mind Dagger and Emma if they did some modifications

Triple S's avatar

Posted by: Triple S on 08/29/09

Im a bit new this all but songbird seems a good superhero to play as

Triple S's avatar

Posted by: Triple S on 08/30/09

It would be good if you could play as the Masters Of Evil like dr doom or loki

Nexus's avatar

I applaude the inclusion of the Thunderbirds in this game.

Just to be as mean, savage, and up-close-and-personal as possible. All his attacks are really nasty. Carnage is out to hurt people, and he doesn’t care about collateral damage along the way. Degree AND Online Business management degree AND doctoral degree

Posted by: markweee on 02/01/10

We carried this mentality throughout all aspects of his design. One of my favorite powers, Symbiote Surprise, causes dozens of jagged spikes to shoot out from Carnage’s body. It’s an unexpected power, something an enemy probably isn’t prepared for, but also looks really nasty and painful for anyone caught in it. We also set up his abilities so players are rewarded for just tearing into foes one after another – we really wanted to play up the idea of a killing machine that simply did not stop.
