What's New MPQ (August 23, 2021)

Jarvis looks fine. Usually, they will release two characters for big movie. If we were to fit this clue into Shang Chi movie, who has the best fit?

I find Trevor Slattery probably has the best link.

There could be another choice:
In Episode 1 of What if? Steve Rogers wears a suit of armour called “The Hydra Stomper” powered by the Tesseract which is designed by Howard Stark

4-Star Teaser: The OTHER Stark tech marvel…

Is it the “other” “Stark tech marvel”? (something made by Stark that isn’t the obvious, the Iron Man armor)

Or is it the “other Stark” “tech marvel”? (something made by a Stark that isn’t Tony?)

Looking through comic stuff for Howard and Arno, I don’t see anything that particularly jumps out. Some interesting stuff, but nothing that feels like an MPQ character (Howard made some Arsenal weapons and some AIs that wouldn’t really be support-worthy, and Arno doesn’t really get credit for making his own Iron Man suit if he’s just riffing off of Tony, right?).

I think it is retro, back to Iron Man 1:

The Stark Industries missile that nearly kills him.

Powers are likely:

  1. Explode
  2. Explode
  3. Explode

Is it a copy and paste error in the PVE events where there’s Odin shards instead of Shangi-Chi shards?

Whiplash !

I hope it’s not another iron man variant, we got plenty of those.. still waiting on Omega Red, Toad, Blob, Amora The Enchantress. etc.

Is shang Chi shard

Yes. I think it’s an unwritten rule that there always has to be at least one copy/paste error in these updates. :wink:

Apparently the 5* boost list is also wrong as Venom Bomb is showing Captain America (Infinity War) as boosted not (First Avenger) according to the Week 15 boost thread.

I am thinking Obadiah (Iron monger)

Next 4 star is probably Hydra Stomper from What If. Howard Stark created it and the clue says Stark doesn’t specify Tony. Makes sense since we already have had Captain Carter for a long time

It’s getting ridiculous that they are completely ignoring characters around for half a century for a flash in the pan character popular in media for about 2 weeks . I hope it goes back to the comics soon ( although AliLoki was cool).

Disney mandates most of this stuff as a condition of their licensing. All the various Marvel games have similar tie-ins around the same time.

I went to google Hydra Stomper and it’s actually Steve Roger in Ironman suit. He does look similar to Iron Monger though. If it’s him, he will be the 7th Steve Roger and 8th Iron Man-like variation in the game.

Look out for potential defensive meta from this guy, if it’s him.

I agree.

Doesn’t Disney have anything better to do than make a laughing stock of Stan Lee, his legacy, and his creativity ? Surely there must be app games with Scrooge McDuck or Goofy where they can insult Disney fans with laughable parodies of characters that no one is interested in.

I haven’t watched a single episode of What If… yet. I went to youtube and watched the first trailer. I noticed there are 14 million views with 626K likes within a month of release. I think that’s quite a lot of no ones interested in this.

Here’s the link:

My first thought was Hydra Stomper but I’m really hoping it’s not for this very reason.

A Taneleer Tivan, the collector, would be nice in the future.
