Here are all the potential characters that Sony Interactive Entertainment can use as part of its PlayStation Marvel Games Universe.
Recently, developer Insomniac Games was hit by a ransomware attack, after which over 1 Terabyte of data was stolen by hackers, including the studio’s future roadmap, test footage, concept art, and confidential documents. Among the leaked files is an alleged list of characters that Sony Interactive Entertainment can use as part of its PlayStation Marvel Games Universe.

For those wondering why Deadpool isn’t on the above list, it’s likely that Marvel treats the character as a separate entity. The list appears to cover characters, locations, and entities that are related to mutants, both within and outside the context of X-Men.
Previously, it was reported that ISPs had sent DMCA notices to users for downloading a fully playable developmental build of Marvel’s Wolverine, which was leaked as a consequence of developer Insomniac Games being hit by a ransomware attack. It’s likely that the developmental build of Marvel’s Wolverine sent data, including user IP information, to Insomniac Games’ server, allowing the developer to track whosoever was running the leaked prototype. This appears to be how Sony has tracked all those who have downloaded and played the prototype, and contacted their Internet Service Providers to send out a DMCA notice to said users.
