So I finally got around to picking up Lego Avengers for my son [and me, but nobody ever thinks about that LOL], and I am in awe at how many 3rd and 4th stringers are in this game. I was bummed at first... no Fantastic 4 characters and no X characters meant no Human Torch and characters like Havok would be lost.... but then my son earned the Golden Age Human Torch in his most current SHIELD attire. I almost lost it I was so happy. Then after a quick google search I found out characters like Thunderstrike, the Mighty Destroyer, Jack of Hearts, Blazing Skull, Capt. Universe, and others were in the game! And arguably the GREATEST addition, Lou Ferrigno in the same security guard attire he wore in his cameo in the last Hulk solo film... but he STILL changes into the Hulk. Albeit just a regular sized Lego minifig painted like the Hulk.... BUT STILL. I almost lost it. 

I thought I enjoyed the first Lego Marvel game, but my excitement for this game has far surpassed what I felt for the other. My love for obscure characters has been answered in this game...
