The devs have all but said 3 stars are done. We have 40 and that’s enough. With the upcoming X23, that will give us 21 4’s. Will they go 40 4’s as well? If so, who gets the last 19 slots? I admittedly haven’t read comics in years but I have my wish list. In no particular order here is my list. Who would you add or remove as a 4 star, not a 5? Dr Strange, Thanos, etc would all have to be 5’s.
Heroes
Spider-Woman
Gambit
Lazy Spider-Man
Archangel
Adam Warlock
Nova
Bishop
Cable
Havok
Moon Knight
Nightcrawler
Rogue
Villains
Emma Frost
Iron Patriot
Juggernaut
Magneto
Sabretooth
Venom
Green Goblin
Baron Zemo
I went with 20 since I can’t count Devil Dinosaur as a real 4.
Amadeus Cho (already announced?)
Mantis
Pulsar/Photon
Adam Warlock
Emma Frost
Black Bolt
Medusa
Doctor Strange
Magik
Kitty Pryde
Rogue
Nightcrawler
Jessica Jones
Nova
Ghost Rider
Molly Hayes
Spider Woman
Villains
Kang
Absorbing Man
Dormammu
Annihilus
Sabretooth
Apocalypse
Baron Zemo
Sebastian Shaw/Hellfire Club
Spiral
Not sure these all fit as 4s, but given they seem to be done with 3s for the time being, here’s my list. Note that I’m assuming Dark Phoenix as the next 5*.
Adam Warlock is Silver Surfer tier, so he’d definitely need to be a 5*. Maybe he could have an alt mode as the Magus and use the other three colors? Red/yellow/green for Warlock, Blue/Black/Purple as Magus.
If we’re counting joke chars like Devil Dino, I’d like to see Howard the Duck and Pip the Troll in future anniversaries.
Colossus Fastball Special: Instead of targeting allies, target foes. You can narrow it down with damage, comparing ap costs, etc, but the basic is already in place.
Heros
1 Dr. Strange
2 Black Bolt
3 A better Spiderman (either Black suit or Iron Spider)
4 Kitty Pryde
5 Nightcrawler
6 Gambit
7 Bishop
8 Rogue
9 Cable
10 Adam Warlock
11 Odin
12 Drax
13 Nova
14 Sabertooth
15 Green Goblin
16 Polaris
17 Emma Frost
18 Winter Soldier
19 Sandman
Since the last time we had a “which 5 characters do you most want added to the game” thread 2 of my top 5 most needed characters have been added, which is not bad. However, it does mean I know my top 3 for this list already.
Get ready for a massive classic X-Men biased list
Nightcrawler
Jamie Madrox
Dr Strange
Gambit
Shadowcat
Wasp
Dazzler (Just me who wants her in the game?)
Havok
Banshee
Odin
Purple Man
Giant Man (Hank Pym)
Hercules
Angel
Rogue (oops almost forgot her)
Brother Voodoo (I hear he’s now called Doctor Voodoo though)
Nimrod (the super sentinel that escaped from the Days of Future Past timeline)
Rick Jones
Stan Lee.
(edit: and Moon Knight somewhere in the middle of the list)
If we’ve got to have a greater share of villains maybe:
Another 19 or 20 characters you say? OK, I think I can do this!
Wolverine (Age of Apocalypse)
Wolverine (James Howlett)
Wolverine (Weapon X)
Wolverine (The Horseman Death)
Wolverine (All-New Head Master)
Wolverine (The World’s First and Greatest Canadian Superhero!)
Wolverine (Days of Future Past)
That’s a start, at least. I think there’s a few I’ve overlooked. And then just pad out the rest with different Iron Man suits, there’s more than 40 of those.
