Looking for a solid Marvel Comics game for your smartphone or tablet? Then you could do a lot worse than Marvel Future Fight, the Diablo-like action RPG that was released in 2015 and is still going strong today. Marvel Future Fight has accumulated a lot of characters – over 100 if you include variants – but up until now, licensing intricacies meant there were no X-Men characters in the game. Well, that's changing in a big way!

Last week we reported that Cyclops and Storm will be joining the fight, but apparently that was just scratching the surface! The makers of Marvel Future Fight have since announced the game will be getting seven mutants in all – Cyclops, Storm, Rogue, Beast, Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Magneto. Yes, that's basically the classic lineup for the 90s X-Men Saturday morning cartoon. All they're missing is Gambit and Jubilee, which is okay, because they both kind of suck. Sorry, it's true.

You can check out a full trailer for the X-Men's invasion of Marvel Future Fight at the top of this post. Scroll on down for bios of all the newly-revealed characters…

X-Men: Rogue, Beast & Wolverine

First up, we have Rogue, Beast, and Wolverine. As you would expect, Rogue can absorb other characters' powers, while Beast and Wolverine are more traditional brawlers.

That said, Beast has some interesting "mutant powers," including one called Stars and Garters. Also, Rogue can throw a piledriver? I don't recall her doing a lot of pro wrestling moves, but sure, why not? Actually, now I really want an X-Men wrestling game.

X-Men: Jean Grey & Magneto

Finally, we have Jean Grey and Magneto, who seem to be more ranged fighters.

Still not sure what Marvel Future Fight is all about? Here's the game's official description:

S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury has sent a dire call from the future: The multiple dimensions of the multiverse are collapsing upon each other – and it's up to you to ensure humanity survives!

ASSEMBLE YOUR TEAM! Create your squad from Avengers like Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America, as well as other famous Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil! Upgrade your weapons and master your skills to give your team the ultimate power-up using a deep RPG leveling system."
