            Doc Ock is on the title screen now. Will update when we have actual information.

            That may be noon today, if he's the new PVE prize.


            Weird. I see Doctor Doom after updating.

            Interesting. Looks like Steam is different from Android. I wonder iOS gets another one.

          • I was just thinking to myself, will we see more of Spidey's villains? I'd be all for that.
          • Since Doom seems to be prominently featured, I hope this means they're considering giving him, Ragnarok, Loki, and Bullseye third powers! I know it's a longshot, but maybe as part of their anniversary plans...
          • iOS doesn't appear to have updated yet. Nothing in the App Store and the title screen isn't changed.

            Doctor Octopus, Doctor Doom e and Doctor Bruce Banner (Hulk) on the tittle screen.
            A Doctor-theme PvE with Octopus as prize is coming?
          • Speculation time: What colors will Doc Oct be? My guess is bluetile.pngpurpletile.pngblacktile.png

            What kind of powers? My guess is board manipulation for blue/purple and a tentacle stab for black for damage.

            Please please please be greentile.pngyellowtile.pngpurpletile.png

            God knows we need more good purples.

            Course, that assumes his purple will be good...
          • Perhaps since Dr Doom is now on the new title screen with Doc Ock and Hulk, that means they'll be giving him his purpletile.png skill?

            We've gone green in MPQ for Update 61.

            That would be awesome but mpq doesn't like purple, they like red and green.
          • IOS user but I'm sure it means Dr octopus will be the 50th character. I do feel that it is time to give the three stars their third powers. I feel it would help to balance the game out a bit. My guess for colors is green black purple.
          • Wild speculation time:

            I'd guess some sort of stun, and also possibly some sort of immunity to stun, given his arms often keep going.

            I'd also expect some kind of area of effect attack, and possibly the ability to punch through protect tiles.

            I could see an attack (or strike) tile power, too, representing his arms always moving.

            These could easily be combined.

            My guess on colors would be green/yellow/purple, with the likelihood of a passive on the purple.

            They have said they will, it's just further down the list. Updates, characters, TU's, 1 year anniversary, balance, and 3rd covers. It's not a priority, it doesn't mean they aren't working on it, however if reworks like X-Force are increasing sales for them, well then expect to see 3rd covers and reworks a little bit sooner.
          • When we reveal our next character, Marvel Puzzle Quest will have its own Vitruvian Man!

            hmm...

            I'd expect yellowtile.pngbluetile.pngpurpletile.png over greentile.pngyellowtile.pngpurpletile.png. Is there even a greentile.pngyellowtile.pngpurpletile.png combo in existence right now? I know they are filling in the color combos recently but I wouldn't expect a fully new combination.
          • My guess is Pve coming today Prodigal Sun 7-9 days with Doc as the reward.
            Colors redtile.pngbluetile.pngblacktile.png or yellowtile.pngbluetile.pngpurpletile.png "Spiderman colors"

            Kinda sneaky (not really) to drop him in the "welcome" screen. Speculations on power sets?
