Lately, I’ve noticed that most of the newer characters are either duplicates of already existing characters (another Black Panther, Luke Cage, Captain America, Iron Man, etc) and most of them are ANAD Marvel characters (such as Riri, Thoress, etc)
As a longtime Marvel fan, there are a ton of classic characters I’m missing and would LOVE to see in the game. So I was wondering, how does the community at large feel about this? Do you want less duplicates or it doesn’t bother you? Do you want more ANAD Marvel characters or conversely more classic characters?
If you vote, please feel free to post which characters you would like to see and hopefully, D3 can pick up on this and release the most wanted characters.
Personally, I’d love to see more classic characters and less duplicates of existing ones. My favorite wanted characters are: Black Knight : think of the cool powers that could come with the curse of his blade! Adam Warlock : would go great with Thanos that we now have in the game. Imagine two Infinity Gauntlet wielders!
Kitty Pride : phasing power would be cool in the game Apocalypse: need I say more? Imagine him calling upon his horsemen like Captain America or Nick Fury calls upon the Avengers! BlackHeart: son of Mephisto, think of all the cool stuff you could do with him! Emma Frost: could be a great addition in her Hellfire club days when she was facing the X-Men Mocking Bird : could be nice character to team up with Hawkeye Spider-Woman : classic Julia Carpenter with the black and white costume Hobgoblin : a bit similar to Green Goblin but perhaps a 4
variant with similar but also different powers? The Vulture Mysterio : his powers of illusion could be a very cool gimmick in the game Wonderman : a mainstay for a long time of the Avengers, how can we miss him? Quasar Valkyrie : I LOVE this character. Man, Imagine her in a team with Thor and Loki. That would make a full Asgard Team.
Boss events I’d like to see: Onslaught The Beyonder / Secret Wars : the way the original series was written … and as a final boss we could have the Beyonder himself
Still missing so many on my list but I had to stop somewhere
So which characters would you like to see added to the game?
I woud like to see some classsic avengers like Mockingbird, Mantis, Jocasta, Black Knight. Some british heroes like Union Jack, Captain Britain. Ka-Zar, the Runaways and many more.
More classic characters. I would not mind say, a third Cyclops variation but if it ends up being a queer\mexican\vegan\ambientalist\feminist version of the character then I would rather have any classic character of your choice.
where you can select him, and randomly watch two PvP teams battle … or watch people attempt to defeat PvE bosses like Ultron/Galactus/Thanos/ IM46 vs. Cap
Unfortunately they will lean towards ANAD characters as they are the ones that Marvel currently wants to cross-promote. But I would love to see more classic characters. I don’t mind duplicates if the character deserves them, if they represent actual differences, and if it’s across different star-levels (the deeper you get into 4* territory, the less you use your 3* roster unless they are required or boosted, etc.)
I’d really like to see the game add a variety of in-match bonuses for team affiliations, and this would require complete teams. As of now, Uncanny X-Force only has Wolverine and Deadpool. I’d love to have a 4* Psylocke, Fantomex, Archangel, and AoA Nightcrawler to complete this team. Shoot, Deathlok too, although I can’t recall if he ever actually suited up.
And to echo above, we definitely need more villains. Spider-Man’s rogues gallery has plenty of heavy-hitters alone. I’d like to see a functional 4* classic Doc Ock, Sandman, Hobgoblin or 4* Harry Osborn Green Goblin, Electro, Vulture, Lizard, Morbius, Rhino, Kraven, etc.
And how do we not have Black Cat! She’s not quite a villain, but she’s certainly an adversary of Spider-Man’s at times. Her ability to manipulate probability / give her enemies “bad luck” could be an exceedingly fun power.
How cool would it be to have super-skrull and having a moonblade sort of passive that at the start of the match you would randomly get 1 or more of any of the FF powers??
Aside from that…
Honestly, I do not care if it is classic, anad, variation, or completely original character. The only questions I like asking are:
Is it useful? Is it playable? How synergistic is it?
For example…
Mordo (new character) is meh for the moment because I haven’t figured out in which team he belongs to.
Riri (variation) didn’t really seem all that and it feels like the general consensus is that she is bad
Carol (variation) two words. She rocks!
Apocalypse could be cool, but whilst I don’t agree with it, I can see why Marvel doesn’t want to promote the non-MCU films.
According to movie sources, Vulture might be in the new Spidey movie, so there’s a chance he or other Spidey characters are coming to MPQ. Personally I’d love to see some more classic characters, like Black Cat and Mysterio.
A bit mystified why Jessica Jones or Purple Man doesn’t exist in the game, especially since they launched a new Luke Cage when his series came to Netflix… maybe a new Iron Fist is coming in time for his small screen debut?
Cyclops (All New X-Men)
X-23 (Original or X-Force)
Jean Grey (Classic, as in same time frame as Cyclops Classic)
Rogue
Gambit
Baron Mordo (The Classic Comic Version, would likely be more like Strange)
Hercules (if you can get him away from the open bar)
Thor (Unworthy or Beta Ray Bill)
Adam Warlock (would be a perfect 5 Star and should have been released with Thanos)
also they should make Gorgon playable and return Yelena and Bag Man to the token pool
I want to see alternatives for Iron Man and Venom. Also maybe a new event starring the Dark Avengers, with special sidekicks Juggenaut and the Muscles.
Purple: Sworn Never to Interfere (passive). Every turn, The Watcher gives a long speech about how he’s not allowed to interfere, only to watch, then gives you 5 AP in your strongest color but only this once, just an exception, because needs are really dire, you know. Please don’t tell the other Watchers, I just really love watching my stories.
