Amidst lots of new information on LEGO Avengers’ new features and gameplay mechanics, Marvel’s Comic Con panelists revealed a handful of surprise characters on their hefty 150+ roster. While Captain America-clad Falcon, costumed Crossbones, and A-Force’s America Chavez are all exciting editions, the true star of the showcase was Stan Lee in fully-functioning battle armor. “Iron Stan” seems highly reminiscent of Iron Man, appearing to borrow all of his gameplay functions. Fittingly, this comes with a Hulkbuster-inspired upgrade known as the “Stanbuster,” equipped with tinted glasses, a button down, and a giant mounted pencil gun.
This will be Stan Lee’s second appearance in all of his LEGO glory, the first of which was LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. As the creator of most of the game’s characters, Lee comes equipped with at least half of their powers, including web-slinging, telekinesis, and “Excelsior Hulk” mode. Whether or not Iron Stan will be limited to just Iron Man’s tech and abilities in Avengers remains to be seen.
LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is set for release this winter.
