man-thing looks skewed on screen,looks like they made him XL to begin with but half way through though he might b good on variant 2 and reduce dormammu's value(which isnt much) so they just resized him and called me L
I think it would have been cool to let him grow to a bigger size mid fight, maybe part of his sig. when he regens at below 50% he also gets bigger when he reaches the 50%+ threshold for his fury. Kind of a cool and unique concept
He is a large champion in the game, not XL. This is likely to be the intended thing for him
In every other media, unless an in-story explanation is given, he’s clearly in the XL range. In the pre-fight screen, they’ve swung too far the other way to support that ridiculous decision and made him so tiny he looks stupid. Classic.
Apparently this is an identity issue or reverse scale for this character. Every character has at least one and you shouldn’t mess with it or people will be annoyed. People are fine with artistic license, but only with some aspects.
I really like the design. Slightly annoyed about the size and the lack of fear-based burn mechanic, but we’ll see. He’s not released yet so there’s time for Kabam to make him the right size.

There is no "intended". In the comics, the literal inspiration for this character, he is huge. Like as big as King Groot.
That why I said "in the game". When these things happen, you just need to disregard anything from outside sources.
There’s healthy adherence to the game’s rules and then there’s absolute blind obedience. There’s nothing wrong with healthy skepticism and examination. It is really annoying when you dismiss every comment as “because”.

This entire game is based on “outside sources.”
The game is based on Marvel IP, but it is created under the oversight of Marvel itself. As Marvel signs off on everything, the MCOC versions of champions are just as authoritative as the Ultimates versions of characters were, or alternate reality versions that show up on Earth-616 are in the comics. For the purposes of creating champions, Kabam is a work for hire creator working for Marvel just like any other comic book writer.
Marvel would never let a game company like Kabam create characters like Guillotine 2099 that at the end of the day Marvel didn't own. So I'm very certain Kabam works under similar conditions as Marvel writers do for the purposes of creating champions or storylines for the game. As such, there's no difference between MCOC Man-Thing and Earth-XYZ Man-Thing that a comic writer might make up for a story line that takes place in an alternate reality in the actual comic books. The Kabam designers should get, and deserve to have, the same latitude as comic book writers get when writing about alternate universes.

We as consumers have the latitude to say “An attempt was made” and/or “swing and a miss” when creative does a bad job and doesn’t put their divergences in context to make them acceptable and instead makes them more jarring and annoying by not addressing them. If he’s called Li’l Man-Thing (Earth 1139) and Blade says “Lookit that freaky Li’l Man-Thing! Giant-sized? More like pocket-sized!” Proper context is given and it’s acceptable that he’s weirdly small in this game.

The game is based and takes inspiration on those, but is not any of them.
