    Wait, how did you get this data from Facebook?

    I opened it up fully, copied the results so far, then did a bit of regular expression magic.

    Okay cool, cause I was about to say that you were crazy if you did everything by hand, haha.

    I had to do some clean-up. For example, 9 people wanted "Rouge" -- I changed these votes to Rogue.

    Are you sure they didn't mean rouge?

  • I posted for The Thing and Mr. Fantastic and I hope they actually do these. I find it funny that there are 2 Human Torches and 1 Sue, and a Dr. Doom yet the other 2 members are missing. On that note I hope they update Sue to make her worthy of the 4* title like they did with X-Force.

    The game is colorful enough.
  • Easy answer...there are threads indicating that we need more 3-stars with PURPLE purpletile.png powers, especially after the cmag nerf. Who better fits that description than this man:

  • I vote for whatever new character you wish, provided it is more useful in the game than Beast !
  • The only thing on that list that surprises me is Ghost Rider. I had no idea he had such a following

    Either they were pushing him, or he was just popular, but he seemed to be fairly prominent in the early/mid 90s. So, people reading comics then are in their 30s-40s (or older) and are the ones playing and spending money on this game.
  • Squirrel Girl, always and forever.

    I refuse to get a facebook account though, so I guess my opinion is invalid.

    Black Bolt and Namor would be interesting

    Or (and i digress here) a PVE featuring Apocalypse as the guy to beat (rather than as a character to collect)

    Gambit is there 332 times.
    Cyclops 154
    Carnage 130
    Nightcrawler 124

    We have a 2*, 3*, and 4* Wolverine. We need a 1* with bone claws. Of course a bone claw Wolverine at 2* or 3* lv would be good too.
  • Personally (and I have a feeling I speak for a lot (most?) players) I don't care who the next new character is.
    All I care about is their abilities and, to a lesser degree, their colours.
      If their abilities are good, I'll want covers. If their abilities are mediocre or terrible, I'll probably seek out one or two covers (so I can use them in mandatory events), and leave it at that.

    New popular Marvel characters are probably great to generate an initial buzz (e.g. Deadpool), but long-term their popularity will all come down to their abilities... http://www.d3pforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16045

  • Here are some results so far in the Facebook posting. Gambit is the runaway favorite.

    196 Gambit
    86 Cyclops
    79 Nightcrawler
    77 Carnage
    71 Ghost Rider
    71 Rogue
    70 Jean Grey/Phoenix
    69 Silver Surfer
    65 Dr. Strange
    58 Thanos
    48 Cable
    41 The Thing
    41 Groot
    40 Apocalypse
    37 Rocket Raccoon
    35 Moon Knight
    34 Professor X
    34 Ice Man
    32 Mr. Fantastic
    29 Sabretooth
    29 Mystique
    23 Starlord
    23 Green Goblin
    21 Emma Frost
    20 Bishop
    20 Iron Fist
    18 Winter Soldier
    16 Nova
    16 Howard the Duck

    How often do you plan to update this? icon_lol.gif This is going to be fun. Well, I suppose that they are planning a storyline with the recent character releases and sounds to be more on X-Men. I guess Gambit's going to be next character to be released.... He is somehow connected to Iron Patriot when the latter apprehended him from stealing one of Iron Man's suits.

    Well anyways.. Let the guessing game begin! icon_rolleyes.gif

    Kinda surprised there weren't more people wanting doc ock. He seems like he'd have some pretty fun abilities

    Yeah! I remembered to leave a vote for him, too. I mused on possible abilities for him long time ago.
    Something like destroying 8 chosen/random tiles (octopus-themed) in every row/column, and also being strong against Spider-Man (not that it's needed now). He should have some mighty board manipulation, because genius intellect + tentacle arms = shenanigans. He could also use powerful bombs or other gadgets (but better and much more offensive than Beast's).
  • I would love to see Doc. Strange and Dormammu! And the rest of the FF.

    Yeah, I'd like him too. I'd vote but as a 'serious' grown up with a proper job I'm a little concerned that people I know will see my inner geek if I post on FB icon_e_wink.gif

    16 of the top 20 are heroes rather than villains, which is interesting I guess.

    My guess was Gambit for the teaser IceIX dropped a couple of weeks ago, and given his popularity in previous polls on here (along with Nightcrawler) I'd be amazed if he wasn't introduced in the next couple of months.
