We got Capcom Community Manager Seth Killian on the line and grilled him on the details of some of your favorite comic-book and video-game superstars. Yesterday saw profiles of the top three Capcom characters, as selected by the Bitmob community: Zero, Dante, and Albert Wesker.
Today's list takes the top three Marvel competitors head on: Killian breaks down the ins and outs of a classic X-Men icon, a scrappy clone, and a certain wise-cracking, gun-toting clown who got far more votes than any other character on either side.
Artist Chris Cayco, who we’ve featured a few times before on Kotaku, grew up playing Marvel vs. Capcom (and Marvel vs. Street Fighter) games.

Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Marvel doesn't just have a bright future ahead of it in films, but in the gaming realm as well. Some exciting new titles are showing up on all hardware, so does that mean gamers are finally catching up with the MCU?
Most people would have never known #1 existed if you asked them five years ago.
