Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

Marvel vs. Capcom 3's Alternate Costumes Explored
Written Thursday, January 13, 2011 By Richard Walker

With Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds' roster almost fully announced and complete, we thought we'd share some images of some of the Marvel side's alternate costumes that include various versions of Spider-Man, Hulk, She-Hulk and others, and unlike the Capcom characters, the outfits relate to actual comic book incarnations, such as Red Hulk, Iron Spider-Man, Age of Apocalypse era Wolverine and so on.

Over on community site, Capcom-Unity, you'll find a link to an article by Marvel's Chris Baker explaining the thought that's gone in to the alternate Marvel costumes, such as Spidey's symbiote threads, his Tony Stark-created red and gold number and his classic red and blues. The black and neon green though... It's based on a Dan Slott creation, but we've never seen it before until now. Check out Baker's full article on fans.marvel.com.

You can also get a look at every one of the alternate costumes - including the bizarre Capcom ones - confirmed for MVC3 so far (bar Haggar and Phoenix) over on Destructoid, which is where we cherry-picked the images below from. Marvel aficianados will already recognise most of these alternate colours, like Iron Man's default Adi Granov-inspired Extremis armour, his red and silver Centurion suit, dark blue stealth suit and grey iron outfit based on Stark's first mk.1 suit.

Check out the images below for our favourites, and look forward to more character announcements leading up to Marvel vs. Capcom 3's launch on February 15th, 2011 in North America and February 18th in Europe.

So does the Spidey alien symbiote suit change his move set to a mix of Spidey and Venom or is it purely cosmetic?

@1 - It's purely cosmetic I imagine. @4 - I know. That's why I linked to it in the article =P

Oh and @3 - they're in the game by default. They're not DLC or anything like that.

@11, I'm with you. Alternate costumes is not the same as alternate colors. Spidey is the only one with true alternate costumes apparently.

11 is right, the only one that makes sense is the hulk, with his red and grey. the rest is just lame and cheap. they could've done more than just a color change.

The Spider Man and Iron Man ones are cool. The rest is just lame. I'd stick with default mostly.
