Story

Firebrand began life in the Capcom universe as an irritating obstacle in Arthur's quests in the Ghosts 'n' Goblins series, before eventually receiving his own game series in Gargoyle's Quest, where he is the protagonist who seeks to save the Demon Realm from peril, with no humans in sight. Whereas Ghosts 'n' Goblins is more straightforward run-'n'-gun platforming, the Gargoyle's Quest series tends to take a slower-paced, more exploratory nature, with slightly more emphasis on storytelling and acquiring permanent upgrades over the course of an adventure. Firebrand brings a few of those upgrades, such as spinning Tornado projectiles and the ability to cling to walls, to the world of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.
