Marvel to change the way it handles games - but will it work?

I found some enjoyment with this years Iron Man game, (though I know I’m one of few), and I did actually enjoy HULK quite a lot - the occasional mindless destruction does wonders for my sanity.
However, I haven’t lost all taste, and do realise that as far as superhero-based game franchises go, Sega’s latest offerings are far from the best. But, the main problem I have with games like Iron Man or HULK, is that they were based on the movies, and were planned to be released alongside their cinematic counter-parts.
If you look back at some of the best superhero games of all time - you will find that most of them were not based on movies. Instead they had their own story lines (or were based loosely on the comic books), and because of that the development teams had more time and creative freedom to make the games.
Well it seems that Marvel might be thinking along the same lines as myself (oh yes, all credit goes to me).
