If you weren't already aware, Lego has a line of construction sets themed after Marvel's iconic comic cast. So we don't really have to tell you that Lego Marvel Super Heroes will also be headed to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii U, Nintendo DS and 3DS, and PlayStation Vita courtesy of TT Games.

What we will tell you, however, is that it's planned for release in fall, and will cram in more than 100 characters from across the Marvel mythos including Iron Man, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Wolverine.

“Fans of both LEGO and Marvel have wanted this game for years, and we’re addressing that demand with more Marvel Universe characters than ever in a console game,” Marvel VP of games production TQ Jefferson said in a press release (basically throwing down the gauntlet at Marvel vs. Capcom 2). “If you’re a fan of Spider-Man, the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy or scores of other Marvel characters, this is the game for you.”

Lego Marvel Super Heroes will follow a new story in which Nick Fury calls upon a heaping helping of heroes to fight from New York to outer space against Loki, Galactus, and other baddies. Galactus himself, that old world devourer, will also be an unlockable character (we presume after significant shrinkage).

Nova's been all over the Marvel Universe as of late, and Iron fist was in UMVC3 so there probably the most likely of non-movie characters.

Ok the fact that Deadpool is in this game is enough to make me want this game! With the slew of awesome games coming out this year and the Fact that Pokemon X and Y got announced, I'm really looking forward to this year, though my bank account won't :/

" ..will cram in more than 100 characters from across the Marvel mythos including Iron Man, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Wolverine." " across the Marvel Mythos, including Iron Man, the Hulk, Deadpool, and Wolverine." "INCLUDING DEADPOOL." Sold. Yeah, the Lego fames have always been fun, but I've always preferred Marvel, and up till now, Lego games seemed to be limited to DC. It's nice to see that Marvel's been given it's chance to shine (at least in a plastic-y way).
