Well, part of it's that I really liked that era of stuff. I liked Utopia and I liked San Francisco.

Part of it's that every single Marvel game ever being set in New York City is pretty lame. Some diversity would be nice. Even games that have a ton of different cities, NYC always ends up being the hub because that's the default Marvel town.

So I'd say, I don't know, X-Based but not X-Exclusive? It widens the player base some, I think.

(At one point even the fucking Eternals lived there cus of the giant Celestial that had squatters rights in a park.)

You mean an X-Men game set in Utopia, don't you?

Pretty much, but there are non-X characters you could work there.

Like, the West Coast Avengers compound was open as Avengers Academy around the same time, The Order still existed, and there are plenty of lower-key Marvel chars who'd work fine in SanFran. There are only a couple of Marvel characters you can't justify removing from the New York area, but they ARE pretty big ones.

Also, what kind of focus would you WANT from the game? Mutant terrorism and anti-terrorism? Internal friction leading to the X-Men schism?

I'd probably avoid Schism, since I thought Schism was pretty dumb. The whole Junior Hellfire Club thing.

I'd probably put the cutoff right after Second Coming and have it do what they used the end of AvX to do until they tantrum'd and had Inhumans release holy toxins that sterilized every mutant - Wanda's genocidal freakout is undone, there are mutants all over the place again and honestly I'd probably say all the depowered ones are back so there's Mutant Culture and all that awesome stuff from Morrison and Hines' District X again and so people can do OC mutants.

So I guess the consequences of mutants actually being The Future again, and of them constructing a nationstate out of wholecloth.

What do you mean I can't play Batman but as a woman who is gay and makes sure EVERYBODY knows that ALL THE TIME. In fact, being gay is the focal point of my Batman's entire character. It's what she fights for. Also her parents didn't die, because she saved them at the age of 5. But she's still Batman.

yeah playing Anything Goes places makes me seriously miss canon so so so so so so so much for that very reason i mean no stop being a bigot of course it all makes sense and also there's plenty of incest in anime why shouldn't it be in comics

I just want a canon Marvel game set on Utopia and in San Francisco.

I dunno what that has never happened.
