R121 Release Notes (2/27/17)

I don’t think the clue applies to Iron Fist, but I think we’ll still get him. MCU Hawkeye is the best guess so far, so I’d put my money on 5* Hawkeye release early in March with a 4* Iron Fist later in the month when the series comes out.

He took up the identity of Ronin during the second arc of New Avengers back about ten years or so ago. It was a little awkward, and nobody really understood what the point was, but it happened. Ronin has swords and is is samurai-like in style. Including this rather obscure variant of Hawkeye in the game doesn’t make sense

Nothing Makes Sense.
Nothing Makes Cents.
Someone who is broke.

5* Homeless Namor confirmed.

In all seriousness, there’s no way this is Iron Fist. With his show starting in three weeks, he’ll be jammed down our throat starting March 24th (is my prediction).

Just realized that Spider-Man Back in Black already ruined the MCU 5* trend. Hopefully the clamoring fans will finally get the 4* Spider-Man for Homecoming. Or Vulture. Probably Vulture.

Thor has his own movie coming later in the year though, so it would make more sense for his 5* to come out then anyway.

“Nothing Makes Sense anymore”

Is part of Logan Trailers?

Not to my recollection. But who would it even be, Old Man Xavier?

“Nothing makes sense”

They listened and gave us a villain named Arcade

I think the timing is perfect for Iron Fist as it would mean his release PvP would start on March 17th, same day as the show premieres. It would fit the pattern set by Daredevil (both seasons) and Luke Cage.
I have no explanation for the clue, but Riri Williams being “haunted” was a stretch and it could easily be a line from the show that hasn’t been seen in previews.

From the hint, my mind went straight to Hawkeye. Another Civil War event rerun please!

Hopefully one of the bug fixes will address the issue of the inconsistent triggering of passive abilities.

I really hope this isn’t Hawkeye.

If Hawkeye and that quote shouldn’t it be a Ultron event?

It feels soon for a boss event, but I guess that would be 4 weeks after the last one. Reasonablish. And Ultron would make sense for a quote from the related movie.

I mean, if we’re relating this to the ‘Age of Ultron’ quote couldn’t it also be a 4* Scarlet Witch? Wasn’t that quote delivered to her? Separately, her abilities are all about manipulating reality. Heck, this could even be a 5* House of M “No more mutants” Wanda.

If so, my money is on this cover:

I haven’t been reading her ongoing series, but apparently “Witchcraft is broken- and the Scarlet Witch is on a journey across the globe to fix it.” The clue could apply to that as well. If it’s related to this series I’d peg her as a 4* again, and with this cover:

Hmm, hadn’t considered SWitch. I think we were all going with the character associated with making the quote, like Coulson and his “magical place”. Now, with Arcane Incantation “corrected” (nerfed AF), a stronger SWitch would be nice.

It’s Taskmaster. Until we finally get him, it will always be Taskmaster.

…what on earth? The clue is almost LITERALLY word for word a quote from Hawkeye, in a comic book…

What’s the confusion, here?
