Yeah, I was contemplating how to make interesting setup in Marvel universe for some time. I don't necessary think you need to follow SU blueprint that closely. There is Rogue-like: Evolution where we have a student in Xavier's school corrupting more and more girls and basically whole school. There is Emma Frost there, who could be used as villain and ally or even teacher in corruption. Game (RL:E) itself is to small, MC there doesn't have such ambitions, but something similar in concept could be fun and as an added layer you have whole school dynamic and a lot more could be done with power-plays.i think you are overthinking things, there's no need to go all out on this. all we need is a character that is:
1) able to corrupt others.
2)wont draw enough atention to be huntdown.
3)is able to find a good place to do his deeds.
the reason i think the purple man works is because, his power is there, he is unique and famous enough to be a mc. yeah he is a creep, but you forget that its comic books, even batman has been a creep in more than one version.
besides, at the end of the day, it really doesnt matter who the mc is, hell, it could even be evil richards from the Ultimate universe, or an evil captain america. what matters is, the girls, and the gameplay. how he does it, or who is doing it, is not even secondary.
And how the fundraising would be done in this school under new leadership and what kind dress code on the fundraising parties... I leave to your imagination. I don't think separation between strip-club and bordello matter all that much and I don't actually like complete separation between cell paths and club duties, I would prefer dynamic where if girl is corrupted/addicted to you enough she can be send to "services".
But if you don't want corrupted hero but pure villain maybe instead MC could be from HYDRA or Hellfire Club. Again: in prologue/chapter 1 MC would take control off organization, later expanding. Hierarchical organization like Hellfire Club could be fun to use as an progression and not start at the top.
And maybe ladies from one side (your allies) could be corrupted and your enemies defeated in combat and captured. I would like some simple form of turn based combat, especially if you could actually use powers of your girls, but I could be done with option of auto-win for these that don't like to much game in their game. Or just story description: one image of her fighting with her suit sexily torn or her captured in chains and short description. Even illusion of struggle and using powers.
So anyway, these are my ideas of Marvel game i would like to play.
