Marvel’s Midnight Suns superheroes: All playable characters and confirmed DLC

Sam Smith
Midnight Suns

Marvel’s Midnight Suns will feature an impressive array of Marvel superheroes and anti-heroes joining forces to battle a common foe. Here are all the confirmed playable characters in the base game and who’s coming via DLC.

Marvel Comics fans will know that the Midnight Suns are an offshoot of the Avengers featuring mostly supernatural superheroes taking on a variety of supernatural enemies. The team features an ever-evolving roster of Avengers, Defenders, X-Men, The Runaways and more, with the heroes – and anti-heroes – often dealing with threats and subject matter that is considerably darker than anything the regular Avengers have to deal with.

The game will feature a new hero known as ‘The Hunter’ joining the Midnight Suns in a tactical role-playing adventure where they’ll get to fight alongside a variety of other Marvel Heroes. The game will play a lot like XCOM but in the Marvel universe.
