Let’s be honest, half of us got into marvel comics because we thought they were going to be cool fighting like in marvel vs capcom. Then you get into them and it’s just soap opera bullshit that you can’t look away from because you’re emotionally attached to them.

No, some of us grew up with the 90s cartoons.

>half of the board is people whos first exposure to superheroes was a 1997 fighting game
Nah, 90 percent of the board were born after this game released. If you were gonna go this route, MK vs. DC would have been a better one though still not likely when cartoons and movies are more casual than fighting games, a genre that has been niche since about the year 2000 when arcades were dead and FPS and party games dominated popular console multiplayer

No, even though I like the MvC 90s art, the comics they based those characters on in the first place look cooler. Bengus' style is aesthetically pleasing but his drawings look too pretty and soft

X-men vs street fighter and the X-men cartoon was a major reason why people got into the characters I. The first place and you can’t deny it.

Most of marvels popularity is off the back of 80s kids who grew up in the 90s, 50% vs games 50% cartoons

Some of Bengus' art was based off reference to American comics.A youtuber went over a few pieces of art that seem to be what they were referencing for some of the Capcom game poses and art. I think Michael Golden was one of the artists used for some poses.
I always thought Ron Lim and Infinity Gauntlet were heavily referenced too, given how similar Bengus' Thanos looks like compared to Lim's Thanos.

No, even in the mid 90s at their peak of popularity fighting games were still somewhat niche. A kid was more likely to know about Spider-Man because they watched the cartoon, had the toys, read the comics, etc, Spider-Man in the 90s was one of the most central American pop culture figures in terms of kid popularity. Comic books, were still something plenty regular kids grew up with in the 80s and 90s.

And hell, the litany of Marvel games that weren't fighters, would also be more likely than fighting games, which again were more niche. Average gamers didn't play much beyond Mortal Kombat at the time

Dude stop. XvsSF and the punisher game was one of the most popular games in arcades ahead of mortal kombat and house of the dead.

Don’t get up on here lying when there’s facts

The FGC is about as large as the people who still buy new comic books, aka, it's pretty niche
