Comicmix.com recently held an interview with Brian Michael Bendis (read: longtime writer for Marvel comics) and though the subject of the interview was meant to be about hardcore comic matters such as Skrulls and Dire Wraiths, the conversation nevertheless shifted towards videogames.
Bendis: 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."

SOE likes Marvel more and wanted to do this before DCU Online. They couldn't reach an agreement with the license though. Unless Blizzard is handling this one...I don't expect much. DCUO is awesome!
Just got finished with about six hours of play time today. Love the game, but why is it that the heroes are more like villains than the villains?
The top picks for the most highly anticipated free to play massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) that are scheduled to be launched next year in 2012.
I don't think Marvel Universe as a browser game would be better than DC Universe or even Champions Online, but I will still keep an eye on it.
GamerFitNation Writes: "Today it was revealed that the action-packed Super Hero Squad Onlinewill be showcased during New York Comic-Con at the Marvel Entertainment booth #654. This free-to-play browser-based MMO allows the player to play as dozens of different Marvel Heroes, including theSuper Hero Squad versions of the day-walking vampire Blade and the master of mysticism, Dr. Strange."
NYCC looks like it is going to be a great time this year. Can't wait to hear more about Super Hero Squad Online. =)
