Just female versions? That's like saying Batman is just a superhero version of Zorro. They are different in backstory and personality, and I love 'em. X-23 has never been playable in any game before and She-Hulk's other playable appearances include the Super Hero Squad games, and unfortunately that crappy PS1 Fantastic Four game. Thanos got TWO playable appearances (fighting games no less) and Cyclops has been in a ton of games. The main thing is that Capcom wants characters who play different enough so the game has no clones. Also, not including female Marvel characters has some... unfortunate implications.
