What we know
The story in Midnight Suns depends freely on the ’90s comic book series Rise of the Midnight Suns, a hybrid occasion that brought together the Avengers with additional heavenly and sorcery based characters to stop an evil danger. Since the story spins around powerful dangers, the program incorporates characters who have practical experience in enchanted capacities like Dr. Unusual, Ghost Rider, Magik, and Blade. Those characters are joined by Avenger pillars like Captain America, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and Wolverine.

There will be 13 playable characters altogether, including your own player character. That person, called The Hunter, is adaptable in everything from their appearance to their power set. Firaxis says it worked intimately with Marvel to foster The Hunter, who is the offspring of Lilith, the fundamental bad guy of the game.

Just 11 of the playable characters have been affirmed up to this point, yet more Marvel characters have showed up in the artistic trailers for the game. Strikingly, adulterated renditions of Hulk, Venom, Sabertooth, and Scarlet Witch- — every one of whom have been mind-constrained by Lilith- — have showed up in trailers. It’s conceivable that we save a portion of those characters sooner or later in the mission, and they then, at that point, become a piece of the playable program.
