what do you mean Marvel doesnt have the rights to FF?
Oh you're talking about the movies, not the characters. You confused me there for a secondFox owns the rights to the FF in film.
The only heroes Marvel doesn't have the rights for that I'm upset they don't is the Fantastic Four. I think they need to be in that wider Marvel universe, whereas Spider-Man and X-Men work better when they are in their own little worlds.
different costumes are DLC. Everything else is a pallette swap, just as it was in MvC3So if I read this right, the Marvel characters in the game won't have color swaps but indeed different costumes we can choose from? Read more from the UMvC3 panel:

The panel skipped over discussing the Marvel characters in too much detail, because they would be talked about at the Marvel Games panel happening later that day. However, they did use Marvel characters to better illustrate some of the new costume options being given to characters. Every character will have at least two new costumes based on classic comics and video games with more detail being put into them than just color swaps.
"One of the things we really wanted to do with 'UMvC3' is not make it a color swap," said Chris Baker, manager of licensed games for Marvel Studios. "You'd have Storm looking cool in her '90s white outfit, and then you'd have Gold Storm, just because you could have it in the game."
but they did. He used Jean as a reference for what they did. As you can see its still a palette swap and not an actualnew costumeChris Baker stated they didn't want to make it a color swap though:
Again this is nothing new bc they werent random colors in the last game. They all came from the books or previous titles. The colors were inspired from looks the characters wore beforeI think he meant that they are not just random alternate color choices like in the other games. They are inspired by other comic outfits, but are still palette swaps.
