I’m not sure what it is with Marvel and signing people to decades of servitude lately but this time they’ve teamed up with Gazillion Entertainment to produce a series of MMOs featuring Marvel characters over the next ten years.

The sad news is their first game, Super Hero Squad, will be aimed at the kiddies with a tie in to the Cartoon Network. Launch is set for 2010.

But don’t worry true believers! Gazillion will also be working on another massive game for us adults with income to burn:

“The Super Hero Squad game will be more stylistic and less realistic in animation, and its storylines will be more accessible to broader fans. Yet it will include familiar superheroes such as Iron Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Thor, Fantastic Four, Captain America and many others.

Beyond the Super Hero Squad game, Gazillion will continue with its own version of a giant Marvel game, dubbed Marvel Universe, for both the PC and video game consoles.” – VentureBeat

No word yet on a release date.
