At Marvel, we have a sense of marketing: The countdown to October 22, the date of the official release of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game in the USA, has been launched.

Each day, Marvel will unveil the visual of a new character from the game among the 140 announced.

It's Black Bolt (or Black Arrow), the electron manipulator created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby, that opens the festivities with the visual above. The minifigure is simply superb ...

Note that the game will not be released in France until November 15. You can still pre-order the special version accompanied by the Iron Patriot polybag on amazon uk (Click here).

I'd rather warn you, the info below is from a guy who admits he's not a fan of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes range, who's seen blurry photos and only remembers half of what he saw ...

In short, this information should be taken with gigantic tweezers, even if it partially confirms the information published a few weeks ago. in this article.

In bulk, the latest info about the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game:

- Following the publication of the movie poster in LEGO style, Warner Bros. has confirmed the existence of a DLC Pack "Asgard"which will allow the incarnation of 8 characters present in the film Thor: The Dark World. The list of characters concerned has not been communicated.

- It's confirmed, there will be no Wii version of the game, only the following platforms will have this title: PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PS3, PS4, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS and PlayStation Vita . 

- It will not be possible to play three on the Wii U version (two players in split screen and one on the gamepad) contrary to the rumors which announced this possibility.

- The maxifig of Venom has finally been integrated into the game following the urgent demand of the fans, some of whom have even launched an online petition on change.org in an attempt to convince Arthur Parsons, the Game Manager at TT Games, to add this figurine to the game.

Below is a new gameplay video from the game around Times Square and the Baxter Building.

It is thanks to the poster below bringing together some big bad guys present in the game that we learn that MODOK (For Mobile Organism Designed Only for Killing) will be playing alongside Bullseye, Magneto, Venom, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Kingpin, Mystique, Doctor Doom, Loki and Abomination.

The character will play an important role in the game according to Arthur Parsons, the Game Manager. He will intervene to slow down the player in search of "Cosmic LEGO Bricks"and allow Doctor Doom to escape aboard a submarine ... Quite a program.

Other images taken from the game on which we can see MODOK are online at my flickr gallery and Brick Heroes facebook page.

Do you remember the contest organized last May by LEGO on facebook (See this article), whose objective was to produce a super hero vehicle with the pleasure of seeing the machine appear in the game LEGO Marvel Super Heroes ?

The winner has been determined and the vehicle in question is the Cloud rider of Hawkeye that you can discover on the presentation image above as well as in the three visuals taken from the game (below). It is the work of a young 14-year-old fan who specifies having drawn his inspiration both from the comic version of the SkyCycle of Hawkeye and in the vehicles seen in Tron (The Movie) and Tron Legacy (The Animated Series).

IGN takes the opportunity to present some of the vehicles that will be present in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game, with in order: The Cloud rider of Hawkeye, Deadpool's Scooter, the Fantasticar, Magnetomobile, Pumpkin Chopper of the Green Goblin, the SpiderCopter, and the X-Jet.

I know that when it comes to super heroes, everyone's attention is mainly on minifigs, but here we have some really cool vehicles that could eventually fill the next boxes of LEGO Super Heroes sets with parts. the Marvel range and accompany the minifigs that we all expect ...
