A newly released Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls comic has sparked fan speculation that it may have inadvertently revealed the game's remaining Year 1 DLC characters. Push Square's editor noted that Thor, Nova and Shalla Bal Silver Surfer all appear in the comic despite not being officially confirmed for the fighting game, fuelling theories about a "cosmic"-themed post-launch roster.

Phoenix Cyclops is already confirmed as part of Marvel Tokon's first-year DLC line-up, with three further fighters still to be announced by developer Arc System Works. The game launches tomorrow, and the article stresses this is speculation rather than confirmation, since the comic's writers may simply have chosen to feature these characters for narrative reasons rather than as a roster tease.
