... A day unlike any other, when Earth's Mightiest Heroes found themselves united against a common threat. On that day, the Avengers were born-to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand!

New Marvel vs. Capcom 3 trailer, featuring: Chun-Li, Dr. Doom, the Super-Skrull (clever, that--why include the Fantastic Four when you can have one character with all of their powers, who's also an evil alien?), Captain America, Trish, Tron Bonne, Amaterasu(!!), Viewtiful Joe, Iron Man, and Morrigan.
