Thoughts on Cosmic entities being added to MCOC

tusharNair

Cosmic beings like Living Tribunal , Eternity , beyonders, etc.. Why don't we have such character's in MCOC ? Are they not popular enough or something ?

There’s a lot of characters to add.

Maybe one or more of them will be bosses down the road in Act 8?

Yeah, but we haven't seen any such type of characters in mcoc, the multiversal entities kind yet. Not sure if am overlooking any such beings in mcoc.

They won't be playable, and it makes sense. So far we had Entropy and Galactus, but not much involved. Mcoc is more about the social aspect than the celestial beings. It has always been a struggle for power and alliances between normal characters

I mean we already have characters like Phoenix, Odin, Dormammu. That's already too many IMO and I think other beings at their power level being added as playable characters is kind of ridiculous. Maybe as special bosses but as a playable character? Nah.

It would be cool though, playing with Living Tribunal, lol

Tesladon

Don’t forget that we already have Groot. Talk about a cosmic entity…

After Watching season 4 of Avengers Assemble on Disney+ I would Like to see the Beyonder He could try to take Control of the Battlerealm

IMO beyonder made the first “battle world” anyway in secret wars circa 1984

Let’s just add the one above all, how does that sounds to you? SMH. This is such a ridiculous question.

The bigger problem is that while characters like Phoenix, Odin, and Dormammu have reasonably conventional avatars or personifications that can make sense for a fighting game, entities like The Living Tribunal don't, because no incarnation of him "fights" anyone in a comprehensible manner. Ditto Eternity.

To be added as a playable character the Marvel entity needs to be translated into light attack, medium attack, heavy attack, special 1, special 2, special 3, signature ability. Power level notwithstanding that's a problem for entities like Master Order and Lord Chaos. Non playable characters used as special encounters or boss fights don't necessarily have to follow that template precisely, and there's potentially more latitude in special circumstances, but even there a totally abstract entity is probably not going to be the designers' first choice on making a boss fight.

I make a lot of champion concepts and some of them have been Cosmic Entities. Right now I'm making The Beyonder.

I feel it's possible to make them work, it's just they need to feel powerful or at least unique.

Though I think there's a limit to what Cosmic Entities can be successfully put into MCOC. I'd have to say the strongest characters you could put in would that can still work would be The Beyonder and The One Below All. The One Below All could use a gamma irradiated host as a puppet like we've seen him do with Hulk and The Immortal Abomination. A suggestion might be the corpse of Brian Banner, something that he has used before. Beyonder has been shown to be able to be weakened as seen as how his power was siphoned by Doom at one point.

DawsMan

I just don't feel it's worth it. We already have complaints about characters like nick fury being more powerful than most champs. Even Juggs and Iron man should be a lot more powerful. It just makes more sense to add the more everyday characters.

If they add up to the game. The grandmaster fight will end in one sp3

It is comic books, so you can invent a narrative to make anything work. However, it is also Marvel, so you have to invent a narrative that Marvel editorial likes. It isn't a question of what is absolutely possible, it is a question of what is possible for you as the designer to get approved. Most of the cosmic entities would be far harder to get past Marvel approval as playable characters.

The One Below All specifically is not even a character, it is a narrative device. I would bet real money that Marvel never approves the One Below All to be a playable character because that would dilute its purpose in the Marvel IP. Even moreso than entities like the Beyonder, The One Below All has no real independent agency, it exists to allow the writers to hold up a mirror to the Hulk.
