Stan Lee makes first video game appearance in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 [update]
Known for making appearances in a variety of movie adaptations of his comics over the years, Stan Lee will be making his first ever video game appearance in upcoming action/RPG Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. According to Shacknews, he'll be playing a character "significant to the game's storyline," though more details are unfortunately unavailable.
Lee is apparently quite excited to have his likeness finally put into a video game, saying, "I am thrilled to be making my first onscreen video game cameo." What we're excited about though is the possible release date of MUA2, revealed by multiple online retailers to be September 15. We've asked Activision for comment on the release date and will update this post as we hear more.
Update: Activision has confirmed to us that the September 15 release date for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is correct.

It better be an epic character. I'm thinking The Ancient One or The Watcher

i remember once when The thing died and went to heaven, and God was Jack Kirby and I think Steve Ditko and Stan Lee were angels. That was pretty epic. If they made MUA2 have a death sequence like Too Human, only instead of a valykrie it was stan lee, that'd be pretty sweet

if there's potential to see Stan Lee punch that bastard Tony Stark in the face, i think i may have to get this game.

Important to the game's storyline, yet still either DLC or some store's pre-order bonus.

You finish the game and instead of the final cut-scene Stan shows up and tells you to download the real final boss fight for $10, 1000 Wii point's or whatever the MS points equivalent is.

Well he was in the N64 Spiderman... in voice form anyways.
Cool stuff though. Hopefully he really does have some cool role to play.

EXCELSIOR!!!
The Dark Wayne @ Jul 22nd 2009 2:12PM
Now HE should have been a pre order bonus character
SteveN @ Jul 22nd 2009 2:16PM
He's probably the president that signs the registration act into law.

I remember when Stan Lee narrated one of the first 3D Spider man games. Starting to feel old here...

Stan Lee in Mallrats = best cameo EVER!
Brodie: You've probably had a slew of women since her, am I right?
Stan Lee: Oh, lots of women. Jagger and me, we had a running contest to see who had the most. In fact, last time I checked I was way ahead.

I'm pretty sure he did the intro narration for Spiderman on Dreamcast.
dan @ Jul 22nd 2009 9:29PM
Yeah, he definitely had a voiceover in the very first, surprisingly good Spider-Man game for PS and Dreamcast
