What Marvel properties do you want to see turn into games?

Boy, this topic needs some weirdness.
I want a game based on Ruby Thursday.
What kind of game?
Uh...Imagine a cross between Knights In The Nightmare, Odama, and DMC - so a pinball twin stick shooter/brawler. Topdown view for the action, and RT would have two forms. In the first form, she would be beating people up; face buttons for combos, and triggers for shooting from her head. Right stick for determining direction, left for strafing, kinda like a twin stick shooter. Possible to lock onto nearest enemy; until this lockon is removed, RT faces the enemy for all melee attacks, but the right stick - previously used for facing controls - is now able to shoot in any direction from the head. Combos like tentacle based grabs, short range energy blasts, slowing moves, etc.
The second form is when it would get really weird. The head would detach, and Ruby would be able to target it to bounce it off walls and such. She'd be able to hack into the level (via quick, Bioshock 2 style minigames), which would activate - effectively - more and more pinball paddles on the sides/surfaces of the level, which the player would control with another trigger. Basically, this is where the "twin stick shooter" + "pinball" portion comes into play. Aim controls for the head, but any movement would have to be from the level+melee attacks from the body. The body, for it's part, would still be doing short range combos, using lock on to designate which foes to face while the head is free-aiming (although if the head stops shooting, the right stick would revert back to directional controls for the body). The head has the health, but the body can get stunned.
All in all, two entities would be on the screen at once for the player to control: the melee range body, walking/running around, able to hack into things for added stage control and mostly using lock-on to target enemies, and the bouncing head, going from surface to surface as different parts of the level bounce it around, while using a stick to manually aim at enemies.
Most of the time the levels would be top down, but sometimes they'd be sidescrolling/climbing up a series of platforms, for that real pinball-y feel.
Why?
Unique gameplay; getting away from standard heros.
How long is the game?
8-10 hours. Like a Platinum type game. A lot of potential for high scores and all that, some fun upgrades, but quick enough to make replays snappy without too much downtime.
Cameos?
Spider-Man, Wolverine, Romulus
Art Direction?
A mix of Cloudbuilt
and Nex Machina
Main Enemies?
Well, she's something of a villain herself, so there could be a lot of enemies, but maybe Wolverine?
Upgradable character (skill tree)?
Yep. One for melee - DMC style combos, grappling with the tentacles from the head (to throw into body punching range as need be), and improving mechanics like evasion or wall jumps. One for ranged - these would be what the head shoots, slow fields, be it be small blasts, one large charge beam, maybe even an emergency blast to help steer. Finally, one for hacking - it would make the live hacking the body does easier, maybe spawns a weak shield around her, adds bonus to the hacking board which activate helper robots or something in the level.

All y'all with your basic super heroes. Let's get weird.
Sleepwalker game. Structured like Persona, wherein you play as the human host during the day, tackling university classes and ranking up relationships. Then in the evening (and sometimes during the day) you'll hear/see news reports about bad stuff happening and then have to make choices between going to sleep to summon your alien super hero counterpart or studying to maintain your grades or hanging out with your friends to maintain your relationships.
As Sleepwalker, you go through third person action stages setup like dungeons with super villains and whatnot as bosses. The longer you take on missions, the less time your human host has to do their day stuff, so it's all about balance and being efficient.
And who doesn't want to play as a muscled out alien goober?
Sleepwalker is such an underrated hero.
Personally for me.
Give us this storyline (Age of Apocalypse) and these heroes, especially Jubilee and badass Wagner.
Give us new original mutants to be rescued and found. Give us a storyline with the Summer brothers as villains.
Spider-Man PS4 is not part of the Marvel Games Universe. It was said to be its own thing.
The art direction for a Daredevil game could be really cool if the world was built to look like soundwaves.
You know, I had a cousin with a C64 who had this game. I almost forgot it existed. But hey, I'd still like that version of Howard the Duck from Guardians 2 voiced by Seth Green (or whoever) get used for something MCU related. Put him in a video game.
Iron Man in the style of freaking Zone of the Enders makes too much sense but no one seems to want it when they can make garbage instead.
Black Panther (or any melee heavy character) Bayonetta/DMC/Ninja Gaiden like beat em up.
so many more, these properties work well with establish genres or game styles just gotta get someone to do it well. Heck that Green Lantern Beat em up was ok even.

Hulk (But really Bruce Banner)
Career Stage (Veteran)
Type: Brawler set in a Small Urban open world
Game length 30+ hours with lots of side content and Easter eggs
Upgradeable Skill tree; Yes unlock new and better "Hulk Actions"
Plot: Banner is living a quiet life running an orphanage, however when Manhattan is under threat from a nefarious and underhanded scheme, Banner must leave the quiet life behind and return to the hustle and bustle of Superhero life where it will be a fight to survive in a city being torn apart by monsters of human creation.
Fight as Bruce Banner and build up your Hulk Meter that will leave opponents devastated after the use of Hulk actions.
Cameos Every marvel character that lives in NY plus Eyepatch Thor. Actually could make "Donald Blake aka Thor a dual protagonist)

Planet Hulk x Yakuza
I would love an Hulk game with two complete different types of gameplay:
- stealth / persuasion / puzzle game while playing Bruce Banner
- action / destruction game while playing Hulk
Then, it is your choice (like in Dishonored) to go through the game with Bruce Banner without any damage or take the mayhem path with Hulk.
You could also add a "stress meter" and if it goes to high with Bruce Banner, you auto-transform to Hulk.

Thor. Open space Asura's Wrath blended with Devil May Cry with ridiculous setpieces, all of his weather powers, his Earth manipulation powers, to his Celestial armor cracking Kamehameha.
Send him to the depths of space fighting pan-dimensional beings to Dark Elves in Asgard to Doctor Octopus in New York City for shits and giggles, and then all the way back.
Also, Ghost Recon Wildlands inspired Punisher game, but Sleeping Dogs inspired melee combat.

Honestly, I don't care... just have something.
The lack of Marvel games is baffling, considering the absolutely insane renaissance it had the past decade.

This would be so nice, I feel like T'Challa would be really cool to play as.
I also second Guardians of the Galaxy. More space travel games plz.
Marvel's Blade
-Open world
-Hack and slash gameplay w/ lite rpg mechanics
-Traversal via parkour and motorcycle
-Day/night cycle
-Large arsenal of weapons (swords, guns, etc)

How do they intersect?
Me and you both agree on this one. I would like to see something similar to the Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system in a Blade game. If you fail to kill a higher rank vampire, he/she will come to get you and the people at your base. :P

honestly, as a huge Daredevil fan: the fights in the netflix series spoil you, and make you weep for the lost PS2 game. the radar could really be used to make a dope as game.
a Nick Fury MGS esque game would be so, so dope too
god, even an MUA approach that built towards Hickman's Secret Wars would deliver like domino's
oh my god, yes: classic Ellis, excellent team & feel too. also i love you McBradders!
agreed, Moony is long overdue!
MUA2 danced around it, but man, a few games in? much like the books, this'd be the greatest What If? approach out there, hnnnghhh

I am disappointed, Era:
5 player co-op action adventure.

I'd love an iron man game with unrestricted flight opportunities. Basically I'd like insomniac to make an iron man game.
Based on the super-fast loading in the PS5 Spider-Man demonstration, you could teleport a hell of a long way.
I'd love a Black Widow and Hawkeye game, myself. I also want a Spider-Man sequel or DLC called Spider-Man and the Defenders.
Spider-man made me want a Silver Sable game. A linear story action game would suit her I think.
A stealth espionage Black Widow game would be cool too.

Taskmaster in a Megaman-style action RPG where you gain special moves from every boss you fight as him using his photographic reflexes.
Power Stone but with a Marvel skin.
So a 3D arena fighter developed by Capcom in a similar style to the Power Stone games but featuring Marvel characters exclusively.
Call it Marvel: Infinity Stones
Or a sequel to Hulk Ultimate Destruction featuring the level of environmental destruction that Crackdown 3 was originally supposed to have.
Or some kind of Silver Surfer game where you're flying around the cosmos on your board.

A Moon Knight game in the style of Devil May Cry or Bayonetta in which you can equip personas (think Ellis run) and costumes like Dante equips weapons and styles.
Toss it into a larger world like Arkham, and make sure to never, ever, stealth, and it's gold! (Or should I say silver?)
Okay, this wins.

A Marvel Super Hero, who never have his/her own game in a video game. I'm tired of the common Marvel heroes, who already have their own games.
Blade: Either a third person hack n' slasher ala Metal Gear Rising or an open world sandbox Action game developed by Avalanche Studios.
The Punisher: Max Payne style TPS (preferably developed by Remedy Ent.) or an Id Tech developed FPS.
The Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is easily one of my favorite Marvel games so a new game in that vein would be great.

About that Black Panther game idea...
The game's structure could be along the lines of Devil May Cry in that Shuri would be the Nero-esque character (the entry point for people who are new to stylish action games, but with enough depth to not be a waste of time to veterans of the genre), while Black Panther would be the Dante-esque character (has everything plus the kitchen sink & a skill ceiling to rival that of DMC5 Dante, with weapons made by Shuri).
One of the more interesting decisions that the Black Panther-centric season of Avengers Assemble did was make Shuri queen of Wakanda. I'd love to see a game run with that premise, with Black Panther being free to do his thing both inside & outside Wakanda, while Shuri keeps the peace within her nation using her own high-tech weapons.
A Captain America 3rd Person Action Game with the same "Axe throwing" mechanics like God of War 2018 did but with Cap's shield. Mixed up with some stealth missions presented as Flashbacks from the 2nd WW. Awesome crazy Boss fights a la MGS2/3. 🤔
I actually created this pitch for a TV series, but let see if I can adapt it for a game.
Character: Taskmaster
Story: Original
Format: Openish levels
Story is told from the villain's(Taskmaster) viewpoint, stalking his prey, learning their every move until he becomes better than them in every way and anticipates their every moves before they make it. Taskmaster is a merc, so you could have him take on different targets at the start, but maybe he begins to realize in the 3rd act that his clients are playing him and are the real, serialized villains. He still works with them, but behind their backs, he is studying them, learning how to take them down. He could fight Supers and as he studied them, your move list expands to incorporate aspects of their fighting styles. Each mission has a degree of stealth while you stalk your prey, like a Hitman game or the early AssCreed titles. You could pull just about any Earth-bound Marvel characters into the game, with the antagonists being the "good guys".

Fantastic Four - their powers really lend themselves to a Videogame
When I first saw Mr Fantastic Stretch on film it looked a bit awkward at first, used to it now after a few years but the cgi still looks a bit off, for a game though having played Streetfighter with dhalsim for years, that stretchy-ness wouldn't feel so out of place in a Videogame setting, given to the right people.
Plus flying around as Johnny would be cool etc etc.
It would be 3rd person open world action adventure game I think.

I'd love a Black Cat-based stealth action game with immersive sim elements, structured around heists. Basically I see each major level being a heist - with some smaller missions in-between to do setup/more low-key story stuff, plus a hub you frequently return to; think, like, Shadowrun: Dragonfall for the structure - which you'd have to prep for by gathering intelligence, bribing people, developing or stealing new specialised equipment, and so on.
Each heist location would have a number of possible approaches, plus the potential for bonus loot, additional insight into the story, and so on based on how thorough your planning and exploration is. Maybe some minor choice and consequence elements, and you'd obviously need a decent story to give people a reason to want to actually do any of this stuff.
Set it in the same world as Insomniac's Spider-Man, and maybe feature Spidey as a supporting character.
Precisely two people would actually play this game, but I'd be one of them, and I'd love it.
(Sorry for the thread necro, but I kinda wanted to make a thread along these lines anyways.)
I said this in some other threads — Blade is perfect for a game adaptation:
MCU announcements has given us a new Blade so hopefully this means there is actually more chance of a game with him in future!

The Punisher, but not as a linear action game but more like Hitman, where levels are gameplay sandboxes, a villa of a crime lord for example. The game would allow for different approaches. Guns blazing is an option, with MP3 quality gunplay, but so is stealth or brutal melee. You can lay traps and use tons of interactables as weapons.
I would quite like a Silver Sable spin off game from Spider-Man. She was pretty badass in it and the DLC. I see it as a mixture martial arts and dual wielding gun action game.
I guess i'm not the first to demand this but the world needs a AAA Howard The Duck game.
Also more Moon Knight.
