Those running around as a superhero fighting other superheros in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, already know that Black Panther was introduced as DLC last week.

However, if you are sitting on the fence regarding dropping the 800 MS Points ($10.00/£6.80/€9.30) for the pack that contains him along with Carnage, Cable, Magneto and Psylocke, four new challenge missions and more – maybe the video over on Eurogamer Germany of him will help sway you.

Looks rather fierce, he does.

Activision’s announced that DLC for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 has landed on XBL and PSN and is available until December 31.

There are five new playable characters in it: Black Panther, Carnage, Cable, Magneto and Psylocke along with four new challenge missions, new boss encounters, gauntlets and a bit more for 800 MS Points ($10.00/£6.80/€9.30) and the same monetarily on PSN.

Juggernaut is also available, and he will run you 160 MS Points ($2.00/£1.36/€1.86) and the same amount on PSN.

A demo is also to be made available. Go log in and check things out.

Activision has announced that a DLC pack for Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 will hit November 3.

It features playable characters Black Panther, Cable, Carnage, Psylocke and an unannounced character.

Also included are boosts, and simulator missions for $9.99 on PSN and 800 MS Points on XBL.

The former GameStop exclusive, Juggernaut, will also be available for $1.99 on PSN and 160 MS Points on XBL.

There’s a video of Black Panther in action over on D’toid.

Activison has sent over a couple shots of Psylocke, a downloadable character for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

No word yet on when she will be made available, but those familiar with the heroine, know that she started out as the fraternal twin to Captain Britain in the 1970′s before moving on to a telekinesis laden mutant with the X-Men.

Screens are posted after the break along with a video.

Carnage has been revealed as DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The official website for the game has lead animator Adam Olshan chatting a bit about the differences between the character versus Spider-Man, and Venom, citing his viciousness.

“We used the word “vicious” a lot when talking about how he should look. “Crazy” too, because of the background of who he is and what he is. I worked mostly on his basic melee combat,” said Olshan. “That’s when we really pay attention to how we can differentiate that character. Spider-Man needs to be agile & springy. Venom was more of a bruiser, like a huge jungle cat who attacks with lethal clawed swipes.

“For Carnage, we wanted him to feel as quick as Spider-Man, but as dangerous as Venom (or worse). We ended up with a very “slashy” character. Carnage is like a lunatic knife fighter: cutting people up quickly and messily, without much concern for how he looks doing it.”

No word on when this bit of DLC will hit the game, but to tide you over, Kotaku has some screens and video posted of Carnage for your consideration.

Past the break is the launch trailer for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, which hits shelves September 15.

We had a look at the game during GDC, and it’s definitely chock-full of superheroes.

Which side to choose though, is another matter as well as which format: DS, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, or Xbox 360.
