I am not sure if I should ask this here or not. But can anyone tell me who the essential characters will be for this event? I kicked butt in Ultron with my alliance but I was missing an essential. Hope I can avoid it this time. Thanks for your time an any help

The only person who could tell you who the essentials will be is IceX, and he ain’t tellin. 
So cross your fingers and hope for the best! Or just keep as many possible characters in your Recruit queue as possible.
Skuttlebutt is, the ff will be esentials.
3 4*s as essentials is no bueno
It’s all speculation, anyways.
Heck, Silver Surfer could be an essential! I’m honestly expecting that before a Mr. Fantastic node.
But for all we know it’s going to be Black Panther, Dr. Octopus, Hood, Modern Black Widow, and Spider-man (any)
Former Fantastic Four members in MPQ
Cage
Shulk
Antman
Storm
BP
Bagman/Spiderman
From Future Foundation
Doom
So Baby Torch and Bagman are the 2*s 
2* torch
3* she hulk
4* thing
Given that he is the 3* reward in pve this week, isn’t it quite likely for that version of Torch to be an essential?
I “guess” buffed ones will be mixed heroes!
It’s possible, but since there will likely be another pve running alongside the galactus event I think the characters (jean grey, torch, 2* thor) from iso 8 will be essential for that.
