Capcom revealed new characters on the first day of the New York Comic Con 2010. Nathan from the rebooted Bionic Commando series and Arthur from the Ghost N’ Gobnlins series were shown. The other characters that have been confirmed on the Marvel side are Magneto from “X-Men,” and M.O.D.O.K. (acronym for Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing). Not all of the talk about MVC3 in New York has been about new characters though, there was also some discussion about alternate costumes for existing characters. Spider-Man will be able to don at least for costumes including his classic red & white outfit, the black symbiotic suit and the Iron Man inspired “Iron Spider” suit from the “Spider Man: The Other” story arc. A couple single-player story details were also leaked this morning thanks to a panel slide-show, spilling the beans on a Doctor Doom themed story. Stay tuned for more details on Marvel vs. Capcom 3 right here at PlanetXbox360.com - as the Spring 2011 release date nears.
