Looks fine. But not good enough to get Overwatch fans to switch over and not good enough to get Marvel fans into the genre.
Chasing the bandwagon is rarely a winning strategy.

Hum... i don't like it.
I mean, looks okay. I'll sign up for the beta anyway. But waifu Galactus? Having a map in 2099 and not having Miguel?
Take a risk Marvel, add Night Thrasher.
Galacta, Daughter of Galactus.
Talk about scraping the barrel of alt-characters. Let's hope the other characters have alt universe spins on them, doubtful however.
