Now though, I've been running exclusively D&D for decades and thinking about trying the new Marvel Multiverse when our current campaign ends, perhaps a one shot to start. I went over the free starter rules and it seems pretty straightforward.
I haven't played Marvel Multiverse, but you deserve XP for breaking out of the D&D mold.

There are so. Many. Good. Options.

Reading through it, it looks fun. And watching Glass Cannon play it makes it look easy and smooth to run.
The timing of this reply is Uncanny (15) for me. While I've been unimpressed with my read through of the MMRPG, I literally told a friend the other day that I feel like I need to watch a session to wrap my head around it. Thanks for the recommendation! :D

They are so much fun. I wish they would do more.

Here are some adventure synopsis from my current campaign: I am particularly proud of the one featuring Sun Wukong (This seemed like the good place to share it)

Mobster Fire: the team, consisting of Fury (greek inspired) Prism (telekenetic) Madrigal (daredevil/bullseyeish) and Alex Winslow (invibility/phasing). They show up because some local mobsters have come to collect on protection. The group lays into the mobsters quickly. Soon however, the Fantastic Frogman appears, he mistakes the PCs for villains, and proceeds to attack. He's more of a threat, especially with Reach 2 (skulking became more fun!! espcially as he used Reach and the small space of the alley to his advantage). However, the building exploded, and the groiup then focused on saving civilians, Frogman apologized, and the PCs went their ways.

Not far from the Nest: The team heard of a kidnapping in broad daylight at a local strip mall (they are currently based in the Upper West side, the territory of the Owl (the general backdrop of the game is the Gang War marvel event from a few months ago, or at least what i know if it without having read it) They proceed to the area, and search for clues, and follow social media accounts. This leads them to a warehouse by the water. There they find it full of henchmen. After initially scouting the area out via invisiblity/phasing, the group attacks. Again they start to make short work of the mobsters. However, they are confronted the by mystical madman The Hood. This version can phase, and Alex finds that a bit unsettling, and Fury (a brick) has trouble hitting him. Eventually they take them all out only to find out that the kidnapped girl is Owl's Daughter, Reyna. She was trying to lure her father's men (and potentially her father, the Owl) here, to get rid of them. She offers the group employement, they decline.

The secret of the stone monkey: More gang action takes place, with rival groups shooting up a crosswalk. The group intervenes, and cleans the map with little effort. However, a stone monkey appears, and starts giving them trouble. (I used Reach 2 to skulk, but after we played, we decided that this was not the way we wanted to use those rules) He knocked out Fury, but as he was doing a victory dance was Sniped by Madrigal. Blowing up into bits, all that was left was a single glowing hair. Alex Winslow touched it, and it became embedded in this finger. Unable to get rid of the hair (or shut it up) they contacted Dr. Strange, Disney's Hades, and Madrigals underworld connections, for help. Wong came to their aid. He advised them that they needed to find the Monkey King (whose hair it was) and he could only find one path, the 8 Fold Path. The PCs were dropped into a circular room with 8 doors. In each door they had to figure out what to do (here I leaned on the rules of the game, we had a room where we reviewed their actions and I gave them Karma; in another they had to use concentration powers, another they had to heal phsyically (health), in another mentally (focus), in another they got 2 advancements (we are using the xmen ranking up system) and finally they had to deal with a double bind.) After all that, the monkey king appeared in the center of the circular room, wanting Riyu jingu Bang back, but Alex couldn't get it off his right pointer finger.....tbc
