I thought I would start a new character wishlist thread, as seeing some or most of characters have already been added into the game, in no particular order.
Here is my personal list, feel free to add your own
Stryfe
Mysterio
Hobgoblin
Sauron
Mr. Sinister
Sabretooth
Super Skrull
Ronan the Accuser
Terrax
Annihilus
Abyss
Omega Red
Holocaust
Sentinel ( maybe have an event against Master Mold)
Blob
Quasar
Adam Warlock
Dormammu
MODOK
Blackheart
Shocker
Mandarin
Beta Ray Bill
Sleepwalker
Nightmare
Shatterstar
Alot of villians… and I’m sure there are more characters, but that’s all I can think of for now..
To me, it’s obvious that there’s a big gap and a bigger demand for villains (playable and otherwise). As far as heroes go, there seems to be a lot more fertile ground to add characters to the game from the X-Men side of the marvel universe. Magik being added is very exciting and I would hope that we might see more New Mutants or X-Force related characters…
X-men Heroes:
Sunspot
Cannonball
Dani Moonstar
Wolfsbane
Warlock (w/ Cypher as support)
Havok
Forge
Polaris
Multiple Man
Warpath
Banshee
Blink
Pixie
Non X-men Heroes (a lot harder to come up with good ones that we don’t already have):
Legion could possibly be the most dangerous mutant in the Marvel Universe.
He is instantly crazy mutant because he defeats x-professor (the son vs the father)
She’s real real good in both the All-New Wolverine and X-Men Red comics. I get that she is probs not the most in demand, but could be real cool, even as a support for X-23. Although I’d pitch her as a 4 star with a Jonathan support that can be equipped by all Wolverines.
So with Marvel Phase 4 announced, we know there’s surprisingly not a lot of MCU tie-in content coming out unless there’s characters planned to connect with Endgame and Spiderman home releases. But basically Phase 4 could see some tie-ins in 2020 and 2021 based on what got announced at Comic con:
Black Widow movie: Yelena Belova repeat?
Eternals movie: Who can say? I don’t know these characters
Shang Chi movie: Shang-Chi, The Mandarin
Falcon and Winter Soldier show: Baron Zemo? Can we get a Falcap re-design?
WandaVision show: Monica Rambeau (Spectrum/Photon/Captain Marvel). 5 star Scarlet Witch
All that would be 10+ months away. So what to do in the interim!? So far this year, we’ve gotten 14 characters, 7 of which are arguably direct MCU tie-ins (Mysterio, Hela, Thanos, Hawkeye, Rescue, Captain Marvel, Talos). Not being tied to this strategy frees up a lot of new character opportunities.
Right now it seems like we’re hitting X-Men hard but just doing new versions of old characters - Storm, Iceman, one more rumored in the pipeline. Maybe a la Black Cat, we will get more characters connected to comic book launches. Putting two and two together… there’s a huge X-Men relaunch going on right now. Starting with House of X/Powers of X (which we are getting a new pvp event for) and now they’ve shown covers and lineups for the new titles following that event…
So PREDICTIONS of most likely choices if they go this route:
5 star Professor X from House of X might make sense.
4 star Quentin Quire (Kid Omega) - he is in the new X-Force. He’s been in a lot of comics by this point. Was even a West Coast Avenger with the Hawkeyes, America Chavez, and Gwenpool. all of whom are in the game. He’s a real piece of crap.
4 star Pyro - on a team called Marauders which features super heavy-weight X-Men we already have. Also one of the most recognizable X-villains.
4 star Havok - I think he and Polaris are the oldest school and most commonly printed Marvel characters in existence that are yet to be in Marvel Puzzle Quest. After being a main X-man for a long time, he’s again in the re-launch.
And they’re relaunching New Mutants - If we don’t eventually get at least one of Sunspot, Cannonball, Danielle Moonstar (Mirage), or Wolfsbane I’d consider it a huge missed opportunity.
Also Betty Ross as Harpy in recent Immortal Hulk issues is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen, so her too.
