Are you sure it’s Monkey covers für the boss event?
I think we already had those last month.

3

Nothing is Sacred 3*/5* release is on 02/09. We’ve Moon Girl and Devil Dino show running on 02/10, and then we have Antman movie coming out the following week. 5* Kang perhaps?

The buff list for 5* is unusual: BB appeared twice and we have 14 5* buffed in mid February. I can’t find a theme to that week’s buff.

2/2 - 2/9 NEW
5-Star: Apocalypse, Archangel, Black Bolt, Wong

2/9 - 2/16 NEW
5-Star: Black Bolt, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Crystal, Cyclops, Gambit, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, Jean Grey, Jessica Jones, Magneto, Okoye, Scarlet Witch, Storm

We had Riri last month. Hit-Monkey sounds about right to me

Did we? It all blends together.
Fair enough then.

That’s probably a Valentine’s boost list.

Yep, exactly this. It’s Valentine’s mixed with the standard stuff.

2/7 - 2/11 Storm (Modern) - Perfect Storm NEW

Storm (Modern) is the 1-star version. I’m been playing this game over a year and this is the first time that I can recall seeing a 1-star PVP. Is this correct?

Should have been Mohawk. Fixed!

10

I’ve not thought of that. Anyone has any other guess for Nothing is Sacred?

11

@IceIX i appreciate the new buff threads - would it be possible to get retroactive threads for the characters who were stealth changed across the break like Northstar? Just for clarity and posterity? Thanks!

12

The Sacred Timeline was the name used in the Loki show that He Who Remains was managing, so likely something with Quantumania.

Maybe a 5* Ant-Man / 3* Stature? Or a Kang combo (Kang / Immortus / Iron Lad?). Old Man Ant-Man and Old Woman Wasp?

13

I would think Kang is a good guess because as I look on the calendar the boss event at the beginning of March says new event so I see that as Kang being next release with them making a boss event out of him as well just like they did with the release of Arcade.

14

Ant man is well placed for a 5/3 option. Introducing Kang this early before we really get to see what he can do in the MCU feels wrong but he is as good a Kangdidate as any other.

15

If they had 5* antman coming I think they wouldn’t have made him a Yellowjacket feeder right now.

16

Ah good point.

Maybe they are re-releasing Hope with a 3* version because of W5sp’s popularity. If not then I guess we won’t ever be doing much with that Swarm.

Seriously though - if we don’t get a W5sp re-work for Quantumania then I think she should just be retired.

17

Don’t let @Mr_F read that… gets some popcorn to watch the chaos unfold

I’m ready for him!!

19

There’s no problem releasing characters no one already has seen. I didn’t watch love and thunder nor wakanda forever and I play with Mthor and riri.
Also it seems as if kingping was, in an odd way, less popular than wasp? Probably because of mr F :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

20

a 5/3 Ant Man release with a Kang boss event would make sense. Although I am mainly replying just because I like “Kangdidate” so much
