Stan Lee to Appear in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Excelsior, true believers!

I really hope they go with 1973 Stan Lee.
I really hope they go with 1973 Stan Lee.
Starting in earnest with the first X-Men movie, there have been very few movies based on Marvel Comics that semi-official mascot Stan Lee hasn't made some kind of cameo appearance in. It's a trend that is now being extended to the realm of video games, with the announcement that Stan Lee's likeness and voice will be appearing in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. No details are being given at the moment as to what specific role Lee will play, other than that it will be "significant to the game's storyline," which itself will be based on the heavy Marvel Civil War summer event from a few years back. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is set for release September 15th.

With his luck, he won't be paid for it.

You more a post-silver age Stan Lee, with the chops and bell bottoms? OK.

Maybe it will be like a "dark tower" moment; like when Stephen King appeared in his novels...hmm.

Steve Ditko should be in there as a hero, and have Stan Lee play a villain. That way I can kick Stan Lee's ass with Ditko, exacting revenge for all those years Stan stole his thunder.

I want a fully playable multi-costume Stan Lee in the game. And I also want Sam Raimi in there so I can have Stan pummel him for destroying Spider Man 3.

Stan Lee is one of the 25 playable heroes, obviously. Who needs scrubs like Spider Man when you have the power of the Marvel god?

LOL, I thought I was the only one. I tried and tried and tried to finish that last chase sequence but was so freaked out that I kept messing up. I was finally able to see the ending after I watched a friend beat it.

But yeah that game was awesome. I used to play through it from beginning to end on kid mode in 2 hours. And Stan Lee's narration just added to the awesomeness.
