 Filed under: Biz , MMO Many people wondered exactly why Microsoft decided to cancel plans to make a MMO based on the Marvel Universe staple of super hero characters. The game was supposed to be developed by Cryptic Studios (they moved on to their own super hero MMO Champions Online . Now a new interview with Marvel Comic scriptwriter Brian Michael Bendis on on Comicmix reveals there is a (sort of) copy of the Marvel MMO somewhere out there. Bendis is one of Marvel Comics' most prolific writers and has been responsible for titles like Ultimate Spider-Man , Daredevil , New Avengers and crossover mini-series like House of M and the new Secret Invasion (Bendis is also the writer of the Halo: Uprising mini-series which has only had two of its four issues published due to issues with Bungie with the storyline). As it turned out Bendis was also working on the Marvel Universe MMO before it's cancellation: Well, you're talking to one of the executive producers of the ill-fated Marvel MMO that went away. I have my laptop here, and on it I have the "X-Mansion" level fully completed that only I and five other people have access to play. It's gorgeous and fantastic and no one will ever see it. So I feel bad, because I think that MMO was a phenomenal idea that was extremely well executed and it went away because some guy at Microsoft who we'll never know pulled the plug on it before it even got underway .
