Flame on! Lego Marvel Super Heroes will feature Venom and The Human Torch

The upcoming Lego Marvel Super Heroes received a boost to its roster this weekend when TT Games Producer Phil Ring announced a pair of comic book personalities at MCM Comic Con in London.

Joystiq reports that Venom and The Human Torch will join Spider-Man, The Avengers, the X-Men in the upcoming 3DS and Vita title.

We already knew that The Fantastic Four would be available as playable heroes so the appearance of The Human Torch isn't necessarily surprising - but it is pretty adorable.

When all is said and done, players can unlock and control over 100 characters from the Marvel universe as they battle against Lego Loki and Lego Galactus.

We still don't know when to expect Lego Marvel Super Heroes past "this autumn", but we do know that it will feature a unique storyline set in the familiar Marvel universe with plenty of Lego humour.

Fittingly, Lego Marvel Super Heroes will also feature "epic battle scenes" - although we're still not sure how they'll manage to fit Galactus on the screen.
