Think video clips of Super-Heroes like SpiderMan, Wolverine, The X-Men and many more that users can either download or customize and send to those they call. How cool is that?

Next-generation ringtone pioneer Vringo, is announcing a blockbuster partnership with Marvel Entertainment that catapults video ringtones into a whole new dimension.

The project kicks off today with the U.S. launch of a storefront and Web-based editing platform dedicated to letting fans purchase ready-made mobile clips and even create their own from the Marvel archives.

“Marvel continues to break new ground in digital distribution, and we’re proud to work with them on developing the world’s first Super Hero video ringtone portal.” said Vringo CEO Jon Medved.

At launch, the storefeatures editable raw footage and pre-cut video ringtones from newer Marvel properties like the animated Wolverine & The X-Men,and classics like theme songs from the fan-favorite animated 1966 Marvel Super Heroes series, with new content coming each month. All Marvel fans with video-ready phones can use the store to view and send bite-sized Marvel videos to their devices.

Fans with Vringo application-compatible phones can take it to the next level, turning their clips into video ringtones and taking advantage of Vringo’s VringForwardTM technology, which lets them choose which Super Hero (or villain) they want their friends to see when they call.

Fans can visit http://vringo.marvel.com to get their first mobile video free and additional clips will be priced at USD $2.00. The Vringo application is available for BlackBerry Bold, Windows Mobile, Symbian and J2ME devices, with support for additional platforms coming later this year.
