The Activision press release for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance throws out a casual mention of "over 140 Marvel characters," which is pretty exciting. But then it turns out only twenty of them are playable. Still, twenty's not bad. And what about the other 120? Are we going to be facing off against over a hundred assorted Marvel supervillains? Or do "guy who grabs some lady's purse" and "lady whose purse gets grabbed" count as Marvel characters?

Either way, Blue's News has the full release.
