I've been playing a lot of Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO lately. To the point where I haven't picked up DC Universe Online or Warcraft in at least a month. (To be fair, my MMO time is limited, so I'm chosing to spend it with the new toy.)
Looking to read more about the making of the game, I came across this article which states:
The idea for the game has its origins at a 2005 meeting between Vogel and BioWare’s Zeschuk and Muzyka, two Canadian physicians-turned-game developers. After attempts to adapt “Lord of the Rings,” “A Game of Thrones” and Marvel comic book super-heroes like such as Spider-Man, the team signed a co-publishing deal with “Star Wars” creator George Lucas.
Whoa - so this amazing game I'm playing could have been the first Marvel MMO! If the real Marvel MMO is 1/2 as good as SW:TOR, then we're all in for a treat when it drops...early next year?
(BTW - more of the amazing Star Wars vs. Marvel images can be found here.)
