Made this for a couple of reasons:
1. It's nice to have a list of all of them somewhere.
2. It points out ones that we are lacking and in severe need of...

X-Force has never had a feature (unless you're counting every PVP besides Cage Match for the last N-Months)
Baglady has never had a feature

and most importantly,
Devil Dino has never had a feature.  
And he needs to.

And it needs to be named:
Dance, Dance, Evolution
3

I believe you mean Danceasaurus Rex.

4

Not bad.
My first one for Dino was “Pants Off, Dance Off”

5

Pretty good reference to have, but you’ve got Nick Fury/Too many secrets in the wrong category!

6

Loki is also buffed in Divine Champions.

7

Jazz Hands Chomp!

8

I disagree with everyone else - this is the perfect name for the Devil Dino PVP. It’s… beautiful. You win all the internets.

9

I recall one where there was two nodes way back in the day, one with Classic Mags and the other with MMN. Was this just an early iteration of Magnetic Mayhem or something different?

10

It was just an early version of Magnetic Mayhem.

11

One note for posterity - the 4* PVPs only award that 4* as the top prize (top 1 rank) for the previous PVP. The 4* Events give out that character at the normal 4* level, a different character at the 3* level (far as I can tell, pretty random.) At this time, no 4* PVP has been repeated - they seem to be used to introduce the character.

Btw, thanks for making this list, it is pretty awesome.

12

You forgot “Back to Basics”, the one-star only tournament (likely discontinued).

13

Also, No Holds Barred, both vanilla and Elite versions.

14

Devil Dino’s PVP should be called “walk the dinosaur” and they should play the song in the backround. I might actual play with sound in the game for a change if that happened.

15

There are couple of really old events that aren’t listed. There’s Double Shot, which were back to back IM40 tourneys. Reinforcements, which featured the first 5 new characters. Fearless Defenders was a heroes only event.

Apparently, there was 2* Thor event called Big Thunder, which I don’t really remember. Venom was probably the onlyfeatured character to have an event name without a theme (Venom Tournament) Moonstone was released in The Arena

I would sure like to have the meanings included next to the event names. Some of these if feel are referring to something I don’t know, like Doc Ock’s and Nick Fury’s.

16

Eight Is Enough is a joke about Doc Ock having eight appendages, and makes a reference to the American TV show (late 70s to early 80s) of the same name.
My take on Too Many Secrets is that it’s a reference to Nick Fury knowing all sorts of secrets in the Marvel universe (we still don’t know what he said to Thor to make him drop Mjolnir), and also could be (and I certainly hope is) a very clever reference to Setec Astronomy (anagrams to Too Many Secrets) from the classic 90s hacker movie Sneakers.

17

Fantastic! A nice addition might be date of last time run?

18

Hi community,

I don’t know if it is the right place to post this, but I was wondering of something:
During the PVP events, I usually use my two best characters, plus the one beefed up by the event.
During the last day and the last hours, I still use these characters to earn some points, like let’s say a random 50 points. Meanwhile, I am attacked by 3, 4, 5 or more players. As a result, I gain 50 points, but loose 150.
The question is while am using my best characters in offense, how is the game picking the caracters for defense? Does it take the best in the roster, after the ones I’ve selected for my offense? Or are they randomly chosen?

Thank you for any answer that would enlight me.

Stefski,
team the endless.

19

Your defense team is the last team you won with when queued by an opponent. For retaliations, the defensive team is the team you used to beat that opponent.

20

thanks for the answer Hex.
