Chapter VII is now being tested and some more tidbits of information are coming through on the villains.
There are more villains in this chapter (17-18 depending on how you count) than the 12 in the original release of X-Assault.
New villains include Dragon-Man and Sandman. Returning villains include Toad and Blob, (and one would presume the Kick-fuelled Magneto!).

Avengers Assemble!
As well as the Fantastic Four there's a lot of Avengers as playable characters in Chapter VII.
Namor and Ant-Man are both Avengers. And so were Mr Fantastic, Invisible Woman and The Thing for a very short time.
I'm pretty sure Johnny Storm has never been an Avenger.
There are however other heroes who have been both members of the Fantastic Four and the Avengers: Luke Cage, She-Hulk, Crystal, and Black Panther are all examples.
Captain America, Thor and Firestar could all be back as well in an easier to recruit method.

Heroes ready
Some interesting tidbits about the new additions in Chapter VII.
There are at least 6 common characters, 6 uncommon characters, 4 rare characters, and some more that are rarer and harder to find.
The previously revealed new characters, Namor and Ant-Man, are both common, but the Fantastic Four are actually uncommon.
Exactly how a character can be common or uncommon is not yet known, but the recruitment method will be different (as Cerebro has a nasty run in with a villain at the end of Chapter VI).
There are 10 teams in the Chapter VII, including "Sue's Four" based on the team she led around 375-390 (when she also wore that hideous skimpy outfit and Thing wore a helmet!). I assume this would be the regular team with Ant-Man instead of Reed.
I also wonder if every previous member of the Fantastic Four might make it in to the game. Unlike the X-Men or Avengers, the roll call of all past and present Fantastic Four members isn't very long.

Chapter VII coming soon
Good news for those waiting to play Chapter VII, initial bug testing is about to start. Release of the next version should be soon afterwards.
At the end of Chapter VI the villains have conquered Manhattan, defeated all the X-Men who were recovered from their latest mindwipe, destroyed Cerebro.
But the Fantastic Four and their allies are coming to the rescue. Chapter VII promises new types of game play, new recruitment methods, many new characters and multiple endings.
It should be a lot of fun to play!
