Hammer Time reminds me of Thor. Hela stopped his hammer but she’s in the game already.

Moon Knight can control his hammer and we don’t have a tie-in for his tv series yet. So, 5* Moon Stone.

I hope the change is for 5* Starlord.

3

Thinking along those lines, perhaps a 5* Khonshu.

4

Khonshu-616 looks way cooler than Moon Knight. I don’t mind seeing Khonshu instead.

5

“Stop hammer time…”

are lyrics from ‘U can’t touch this’ which is about dance moves.

5* Dazzler confirmed :wink:

KGB

6

Great point about the title….Random not going to happen guess…Unus the Untouchable.

7

Maybe Iron Patriot is getting revived from the depths of the XBLA version of the game as a H.A.M.M.E.R. Reference?

edit crud; forgot I was only pitching Gargantos (Shuma Gorath)…let’s see…MC Hammer…MC= Marvel vs Capcom…Shuma Gorath has 5 arms and is a star so obviously a 5*…that work checks out, that’s at least as much connection as previous characters have gotten.

I think it’s hard to narrow this one down given how broad the clue is. Is it hammer related? Is it related to things that can’t be touched? So I did some googling and found one character that fits the clue that I think would be a fun addition to MPQ (but I highly doubt this is the character being added):

I’m going with the Time manipulator Kang who is long overdue , and present in the “MC” Universe , deserves a 5* as well.

Feels like a direct reference to Moon Knight, which also fits with the imminent release of the series… But April fools day is fast approaching, as well…

U Can’t Touch This (Hammer Time) is a song by MC Hammer…

Who also performed Pumps and a Bump…

Which sampled Baby Got Back, by Sir Mix-a-lot…

Big Bertha incoming.

Hammers are stopped by anvils, anvils crush Wiley Coyote, therefore it’s Roadrunner!
