Marvel Super Hero Squad Online images released by Gazillion

by JC Fletcher on May 13th 2010 12:30PM

Gazillion Entertainment has officially announced the first of its MMO games based on Marvel properties, the unfairly adorable Super Hero Squad Online. How are we supposed to resist the idea of playing as Chibi Thor or Widdle Silver Surfer in "Super Hero City"?

This game allows players "to be their favorite Super Heroes in a living online world," as long as said players don't mind being (almost literally) Nerfed versions of those heroes. Players can join up with friends to form squads to fight evil together. Of course, they can also collect items for their customizable personal spaces.

If you'd like to see these lil' heroes (and the game) in action, GameTrailers TV will debut a trailer on Friday at 12:30 AM.

Update: Gazillion informed us that these are CG images and therefore don't precisely reflect the actual game's visuals.

Awww they're so adorable!

I'll be passing on this one.

Awww...I'd hug that cute little Wolverine if I wasn't so bloody afraid of him piercing my testicles.

talk about getting blue balled. amirite?

Because I'm holding my breath. It stinks of B.O. in here.

Is that a knock on Joystiq gamers' hygiene?

Or are the Planeteers stinky like all friggin' environmentalists?

You know what happens to a Nerf toad when it's hit by Nerf lighting?

The same thing that happens to everything else.

(nothing)

The show is a bit on the kiddie side but it is filled with tons of easter eggs and references for long term Marvel fans. Started following the show more closely after Silver Surfer made a comment regarding the Toad/lightning quote from the first X-Men movie.

Lil Warmachine has lil rocket launchers. Ha

D'awww

Take a close look at the Gazillion website. There's more than one Marvel game being made.
