Scarlet Witch and StarLord sprites look great!
Nice to see Loki will be playable (he's getting very popular these days, with the movies and solo comic book...).
It appears you have not finalized the new roster, so here's some comments...
First, I LOVE X-men. My dream come true is an x-men only game, with a roster as big as yours. BUT... you already have a lot of mutants playable, so I think you should favor other characters before adding another x-men related hero/villain. (I can't believe I'm saying this... I want to play as Mystique! Magik! Sunfire!
)
I'd love to see Namor and Dr. Strange as they are pure classics.
Inhumans may be harder to fit in the story, but they are becoming popular (because of the movies/tv shows), so Black Bolt and Medusa maybe? Also, Maria Hill, Mocking Bird, and other known Agents of SHIELD would be a good idea, also because of movies/tv influence.
Silver Surfer is also a traditional Marvel character and would also be a popular playable, but I don't care much for him, and you can wait for when you bring Galactus (c'mon, we know you will
).
Spider Woman would also make a good impression (though I'm not sure Jessic Drew was an active hero in the 90's, maybe Julia Carpenter).
I hope you're not adding just new playables, but also new enemies! I'm particularly fond of the Zemo, Wizard, Graviton and Blizzard these days. I suggest you look into the marvel cartoon (even recent ones) for ideas - this will make them more recognizable for most players. Since you're bringing the Guardians into the battle, I suppose Kree, Skrulls and Brood could be the new mooks in space.
...
Well, all this talk of new roster brings a very familiar problem: what about the helpers?

Yeah, Silver Surfer is a given... but I'd go with Nova instead (probably Richard Rider, not the Sam Alexander kid Nova). Leave the surfer for when you get Galactus in the game! 
I don't know Adam Warlock that well, but when you put Thanos and Infinity Gems together in the same phrase, you always get Adam Warlock in the conversation.
Ronan the Accuser would be cool as playable I guess.
Unless you mean the Villain should also be in space, Namor fits both villain and hero category. But you may want to wait until you can add Atlantis.
Oh, and you must definitely do a Howard the Duck easter egg

to add her i must have a hell fire club stage at least, maybe later on some dark phoneix mode....

Great plans!
Apocalypse and horsemen look cool! Great to see Calliban and Deathbird as one of the Horsemen. Any character with a blue/black/purple overlay would work as a horsemen (even Banshee became one), but it's nice you're bringing in new people.
Nova as NPC is great too!
You know who'd be cool in space too? The shi'ar Gladiator! Maybe as stage NPC against Deathbird boss.
Yeah! Forget what I said, there's no such thing as too many playable X-Men! Mystique!!!
BTW, she could call more than just Pyro with the radio: since Magneto has his Acolytes (and his children) with him, she's could be the leader of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants now. Sabretooth, Pyro, Blob... anyone. Well, I'm really looking forward to seeing her!
Just an observation: You are planning on unlocking a LOT of characters at the last stage (GotG and silver surfer). The game is going to end soon, and the battles are getting tougher... but we want to try them out! The game already gives you many characters with each level, but that's the last one so, maybe, you could add a few smaller maps instead of one big map before fighting Thanos.
Thanos by the way needs an upgrade. Right now, the Helicarrier level is much more epic. Fighting Thanos with the infinity gauntlet should be epic! Have him fight in "stages", change the battlefield in between, have him hurl heroes through time and space or inside their nightmares, conjure huge enemies made of stone to battle foes while he laughs in the background.
Ooooh a Hellfire Club stage/mode would be awesome! You could even tie it to the Hell mode (some shenanigans about Selene or someone else bargaining with Mephisto and the deal goes literally to Hell).

Hello ZVitor,
Superlative game that you made in MFA2!!! *giant sonrisa* :-D ;D I greatly enjoyed being able to finally play as Storm, Rogue, and Jean Grey!! *sonrisa* When I used to own X-Men 1 for Sega, it did not allow the ability to play as Storm, Rogue and Jean. And since I do not own any modern game systems, so YOUR game allowed me to play as the 3 women for the 1st time ever!! :-D (...and I bet if your version sprites of Storm, Rogue, Jean were added to X-Men 1 or X-men 2 for Sega that they would KICK some serious tail!)
Thank you for making such a wonderful product game!
I only have 2 questions:
1) When playing as Storm, is there a way to choose her classic silver-white costume from the 90's X-men cartoon?
>> Currently, I am playing version 3.0 and do see the option to change the costume colour when pressing
the UP arrow; which I do to choose "white" colour which resembles a little her X-Men 90's costume a little.
>> There is the classic white costume Storm sprite in X: Children of the Atom & in Marvel vs Capcom 2...maybe you already have those downloaded sprites and can just make a patch folder for Storm for us to dwld and play in the game in version 3.0?
Or if it is too much trouble...the Story pics and cutscenes can still have the original black costume which is no big deal...and maybe just have the 90's cartoon white uniform as selectable in the Storm Characer Select screen when you hit the UP arrow for Storm and go through all her colours of the current uniform and the white, fully clothed one from the 90's cartoon will be at the very end?...
2) Jean Grey is called 'Phoenix' in this game for v3.0 even though the Phoenix just shows up as a special attack. I personally like the 'Jean Grey' persona better.
>> If we wanted our Score Rank Listing and Character Select Screen to have her credited as 'Jean Grey' is there like a folder in the download package called "Phoenix" that we can just re-label "Jean Grey" and the Character Select screen will show it too?
>> BoMbErGaMeS's SoRR v5 had Character folders available that could be changed or renamed, etc.
>> Or maybe you can make a simple toggle selection when we are flipping through Jean Grey's colours, we continue to flip UP arrow to see the name change to 'Jean Grey' for each of the colours as well?
(so basically, we'll have 2 options on her picture if we hit the UP arrow and go through her colours, the last one can be her original orange uniform, but also say "Jean Grey" at the top versus 'Phoenix'?...)
...these are just questions/ suggestions if possible...
Once again, thank you for this wonderful, fun and entertaining GAME!!
[if I had to choose another favorite feature outside the already-'GLORIOUS' Main game, it would DEFINTELY be the X: Mutant Apocalypse remake!!- we here at home have had sooo many tournaments and character pair-ups with that remake game!...it would be great in your next 3.0 can maybe have an extra remake of X-Men2 (sega) or the full game remake w/ your MFA X-men characters, a longer enemy life bar (vs 1 cheap hit), a point/rank system, nightcrawler teleport through walls actually like X-1, etc..]

Hello again ZVitor,
I just had an additional queston/suggestion. *sonrisa*
3) Add a CPU player option for 2-Player Mode
>> I am no a video game programmer whiz :-( :-[, but I was thinking since you already have the NPC fighter at the Radio signal which is a CPU-controlled helper with a short life-span,
you could copy/ paste that same programming over to the Character Select screen in 2-player Mode to work with a Character say like Wolverine or Cyclops with the 5 Lives; then once they lose all 5 Lives (or all Lives gained- howbeit very fast) during the Main Story gameplay then *poof* (they would still also get their own Radio signal helper box as well and we (Player 1) should able to activate it for them for CPU Player 2's NPC Fighter helper!
- that's why I believe yours would be very easy to implement as it would just be like an NPC fighter with a normal life gauge showing at the bottom of the screen beside Player 1...but this CPU character would be selected by us at the beginning of the Main Story gameplay from the main roster of characters. *or make this a secret unlockable after beating the Original game*
>> To this day, I believe this One, single feature is what has made BoMbErGaMeS's SoRR v4/v5 sooo popular and a step above ANY Sega game of the 1990s era!!
[it would be sooo great when the family, neighbors, and kid firends are not available that I could pop this game on at 3 o'clock in the morning and actually play with a CPU partner like I am playing with someone else!! ;D- think about the endless replay and contest fun of trying tons of character pair-ups!!]
Once again, thank you and your hard-working Design/ Implementation Team of acquintances and friends for this wonderful, fun, and entertaining GAME!!

i agree with beto on thanos...
i really like the loki fight in the game...he's strong, he has a pattern...he is just has great game play to fight against
but thanos has the gauntlet
he can turn the stage to water and make your char slower until you hit him...teleport around...maybe you can use some marvel super hero sprites

great points about thanos,
i will tink about how make thanos more epic.
go to background while summons enemys looks like a great ideia.
and there is a lot of chars to unlock at end indee, no time to have fun with all at story mode, i will think about something.....
...
hell should be last mode do be implemented, i dont have a solid plan about him yet, and my first attempt with hell maps was not good.
@apple,
- no way to change storm costumes to look exactly like 90' cartoon, maybe if re-do all sprites, ut it are not on my plans, dont want to waist more time on updates.
- i will change her name to jean grey, was a lazy moment because i didnt find a "jean grey" logo, only phoenix one.
- with all this chars, this game have a huge problem of memory and long loads, add a cpu player mean turn all heroes on npc, maybe it could work for a small roster game.
thanks for feedback
