Marvel heroic roleplaying character creation tv#
In a way, Marvel is bringing its fans into the "world outside their window" via the TV in their living room. Inviting readers directly into the Marvel Universe by allowing them to make their own character is blurring that line in a new way, creating an even more direct connection between fans and their favorite characters. But even with dozens of video games tied to Marvel properties, Midnight Suns marks the first time players will be able to fully customize their own hero. The tradition of Marvel games goes back to the early days of the medium in the '80s, with titles both big and small, legendary and forgotten, that span the many franchises of the Marvel Universe from the X-Men, to the Avengers, to the Fantastic Four, and beyond. That phrase, "the world outside your window," remains a touchstone for Marvel Comics into the present day, with the entire Marvel Entertainment empire taking the concept to heart via 3D movies, immersive theme park attractions, and of course, games. The idea of the Marvel Universe being "the world outside your window" is intended to convey the idea that readers who live in or venture to New York could find themselves lost in the fantasy of the Marvel Universe, looking up at the skyscrapers in the hopes of catching a glimpse of Spider-Man swinging past.
In Marvel's early days, editor-in-chief and head writer Stan Lee coined the phrase "the world outside your window" to describe the feeling the Marvel Universe intends to impart by having its superheroes populate real cities such as New York and Los Angeles as opposed to fictional locations like Gotham and Metropolis, the two main locales of the DC Universe. Since the start of the Marvel Universe proper all the way back in 1961's Fantastic Four #1 the publisher has made a reputation for itself as the home of the superhero universe that best reflects the real world in which its readers actually dwell.
