At least Miles is getting his own game. I wish for Kahn to have her own after Avengers. I'm not sure about Nova as I nothing about him (or the Champions version in this case). Granted, the only reason I know of Nov was because of MvC3. I would not mind a Champions game from reading what I've seen from your description and the wiki page.
This page is from their first issue after they found and subdued a human trafficker, who attempted to kill the people he trapped in efforts to save himself... and the crowd that surrounded them calling for the newly formed champions to kill him.

I just bought their three book bundle on Google Play. If you look up "Champions, Because The World Still Needs Heroes" there, they'll let you sample 16 pages. Your milage may vary, but at the end of that sample, I went and got a Google play card 40 minutes after.

They are shaping Nova, Spider-Man, and Ms. Marvel to be the new Marvel Trinity. I don't hate it. They have chemistry that we just wish for in Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

I still don't understand why they gave Bruce a beard. I mean seriously he looks really bad with it. He looked much better in the initial trailer. Though they did also change his overall tone and demeanor, to be more depressed, so I guess they're going with the Beard of Sorrow trope with him, so he can shave it off at the climax to show he's found his center again.

Wait, if Bruce has a beard, does that mean Hulk would beard out too? I can't recall a time when I've ever seen Hulk as anything other than clean shaven.

Cuz God of War 4, and the trope you just mentioned.

I actually would not mind a bearded Hulk. Be part of the bad ass beard trope for once.

I just don't really think it fits. I mean if you watch the original trailer, and then the Bearded Trailer, it's basically the same footage, they just Mr. Potatoheaded a beard on him. And it just looks bad.

Eh, I'm just not a fan of the general beard culture we have today. It's very passive agressive in a lot of the ads I see for beard grooming stuff. With tag lines that basically boil down to "HEY!! ARE YOU A GUY WITHOUT A BEARD!? WELL THEN YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE BETA MALE CUCK WHO STILL LISTENS TO HIS MOMMY!! REAL MEN, WHO FUCK WOMEN, HAVE BEEEEEAAARDS!!! SO GROW A FUCKING BEARD!!! ALSO BUY OUR GROOMING PRODUCTS FOR YOUR BEARD!! OR YOUR A CUCK!!"

So that's really all I see when I see them give him a beard in post. Can't have a male lead character without a beard!!!!

Disclaimer: I have a beard, and it still annoys me.

I rarely look at most commercials if I can avoid them, but I did not think the shaving commercial would get this bad. The last one I recall seeing did not have any of what you described other than some weak attempt at humor. I have a beard goatee combination, but I usually manage to shave. I shave mostly with a butter knife.

I get them a lot on youtube. To give you 2 examples. One shows a guy dressed like some Wilderness Survival Guy, being pulled by a dogsled in Alaska, and the people pulling him, are beardless dudes. They even talk about how they've made them useful for their company, as draft animals. Another is for just a general "man body care" stuff, that's part beard, and part body soap, and they say that most guys are still using whatever soap type their MOMMY bought for them, clearly inflecting the word mommy to suggest being less of a man. Just your basic dudebro masculine bullshit, being utilized for to sell their products. MANLY products, for MEN. And it's just annoying.
