You may recall that Kate Bishop was released around the same time as the Apocalypse movie. Her power that stops healing makes a lot more sense belonging to a horseman of Apocalypse rather than a Hawkeye (like, seriously). I always wondered if those powersets were meant to be a tie-in, but it got nixed and they just shoe-horned them onto Kate.
Also 5-star tier doesn’t necessarily have to have world-ending powers. I mean Daredevil and Hawkeye aren’t going to blow up a planet or anything and they still made the top tier!
Oooo, are you sure about that? I’m a big Magneto fan but in fairness, SW was able to use her power to give Magneto control over the planet, something he’s been unable to do himself. Doom took control over everything, but had to steal someone elses power to do it, not using his own. And Juggs claims to be unstoppable, which is technically correct, but something always stops him lol
Disclaimer: SW is my least favorite out of the four.
“Nextwave was ace but I loved Monica back when she was Captain Marvel in the Avengers before then. Her power set is 5* level easy - she once overloaded the defence systems of Thanos space station and can fly at the speed of light!”
oh yeah, the Roger Stern era was great! “Under Siege” is my favorite Avengers story.
There might be some room for 5* women in the villains, though! As I said before, I see Hela as more of a boss battle than a recruitable character, like Ultron or Galactus. But what about a 5* Enchantress? Or to go into the whole SHIELD/Hydra thing, but staying carefully clear of the Nazi elements that someone like the Red Skull (or his daughter, Sin) brings with them, how about Viper (Madame Hydra)?
Put me down for some Rogue action since she’s my favorite female Marvel character. A 5* Rogue that has a game ending (Deadpool) or character killing (G4mora) ability would be awesome. With one ability she can steal powers and for another she could kill you with a kiss. Outside of her I would love to see Emma Frost or Black Cat.
Just because someone is ‘cosmic’ shouldn’t mean they can’t be recruitable characters. Why exclude some of the most popular heroes and villains? A character’s power level has no bearing on their presence or how many stars they have. Thor has faced off against Hela many times. If we have Thor, why not Hela? (Though, I like the idea of the Enchantress, too.)
Many of the major Marvel baddies are playable - Doom, Kingpin, Green Goblin, Magneto - but let’s get some more!
SW is an Omega Level mutant, she should definately be a 5* character.
I’d also be good with a Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers 5* version as she is one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel universe.
Storm is also considered an Omega Level mutant so I’d also be ok with a 5* version.
They MUST make a new 5* with Hela! I read she is going to be a mix of Death and Gorr (from the Thor storyline of The God Butcher).
Eh, 2* Hawkeye looks as much like the MCU character as 5* Hawkeye, so I wouldn’t think that would be an insurmountable problem. Heck, since the character costumes seem to change marginally between movies anyway, having, for example, a 5* Scarlet Witch in whatever her Infinity War costuming was wouldn’t be out of the question. Of course, all the announced movies will already be out by the time I get to the 5* tier, so it’s probably all a moot point for me
It would amuse me more than it should if a new Squirrel Girl character somehow redefined the meta…
