Avengers DLC: Ranking Every UPCOMING Character Worst To Best

Marvel's Avengers has had a somewhat... turbulent past few weeks.

First the beta received mass criticism and greatly hurt the popularity of the game, and now post-release, some of the most prevalent issues from the beta still remain.

Despite these issues, the game itself shouldn't be completely written off, as the combat improves drastically the more you play and the story and characterisation of the heroes is fantastic. The post-launch road map seems really exciting as well, planned out to the end of 2021, at least.

A few heroes have already been confirmed to be playable, such as Kate Bishop and Hawkeye, but we've seen a significant datamine leak from the PC version confirming at least another 14 characters for the future. This featured expected debuts, such as Captain Marvel and Falcon, as well as some uprisings reveals such as Dr. Strange and Mockingbird.

All these characters offer new gameplay styles, potential new locations and ways to further progress the game's story. But it's hard to deny that some sound more exciting than others.

Look, Spider-Man is easily one of, if not the most recognisable Marvel characters to date. The character features heavily in almost every major crossover event in the comics in some degree, and has featured in more films in the past twenty years than Iron Man or The Hulk. His addition to Marvel's Avengers is great news for fans, but only if you own a PlayStation.

The fact that Spider-Man is a PlayStation exclusive has had a lot of debate around it regarding if it's poor practice by the developers. Regardless of your thoughts on the matter, you have to admit that it is a little bit disappointing that Xbox and PC players are going to miss out.

The fact that Spidey won't feature on the other versions of the game also means his inclusion can't have a massive impact on the story, and will likely feel tacked on.

Despite this, it's still exciting to think we'll be getting a new version of Spider-Man to accompany The Avengers. With such a well established universe already, The Avengers may already be quite well acquainted with the wall crawler.
