    I was hoping Ms. Marvel would look more like Moonstone and less like Captain Marvel. Ah well.

    Iron Patriot's icon was (is? I don't pay attention to that thingie anymore) part of the little loading icon scroll and he's been well known to be coming. Still no time very soon though. Ms. Marvel I kinda spoiled in the art thread, figured the icon can't hurt. icon_e_smile.gif

    Since you spoiled her, any idea on a timetable for her appearance?

    She'll appear either before or after Iron Patriot.

    I don't have an exact as things are shifting rapidly as we nail down releases around the Anniversary update. Extremely likely before Thanksgiving.
  • Anniversary update???

    The same. Grew up knowing Carol Danvers as Ms. Marvel so I would love to see that version in the game.

    So is she our upcoming 2* version of an existing character that was teased earlier?

    Yarp. One of her abilities is like her 3* version, the other two are new. So similar to how Aggressive Recon is carried over but other abilities are different for Black Widow.

    That's great great news despite she's actually a 2*.

    I've been waiting (and constipating icon_lol.gif ) anxiously for ms marvel since 3 oct 2013 and here we are 11 months later! icon_ms_marvel.png finally arrives!

    Hope it's the 3*s red ability that's the same. So useful against protect tiles.

    Hoping for get black ability because there are so few blacks that are good in 2* land or in general.

    I can bet Ms Marvel will have the same colours as her 3* counterpart, red/yellow/black. 2*s can use more good reds (since they don't have a powerful Cap, Moonstone sucks, MMN and mHawkeye rely on CDs, and thus it's mostly on A.Wolvie/Torchling), blacks, yellows (Thor/Ares and that's about it I believe).

    I'm thinking it might be this one. Captain Marvel and Moonstone's red skill are both Photon(ic) Blast, so it wouldn't make sense for Ms. Marvel to not have it.
  • Have you thought about calling her Warbird instead, to reserve the Ms. Marvel name for Kamala Khan? Or would they not be considered mutually exclusive?
  • i can see Iron Patriot being an anniversary feature given it's color scheme is quite the celebration theme, it only makes sense. And with this release, even announcing some sort of huge update change like removing TU (if only) or adding a new mode plus confirming a few new characters in the pipe would be nice

    I'm hoping Green Goblin for the Anniversary since it will be October and Halloween, he would just be so fitting. Green/Purple/Black oh that would be fun.

    omg I don't even care if Goblin is a horrifyingly dark character, I just want the ultra-rare green/purple combination and I also want to throw pumpkin bombs at other people's rosters!!
