    And Gamora.

    Sounds...interesting. They sound interesting. I'd have to see the layout of the specs, but Gamora sounds pretty generic.

    So the onslaught of new characters starts again... I'm absolutely sick and tired of the non stop new character introductions.

    Guess I'll sell off my Mystique when the Rocket & Groot event hits, than sell of the Rocket & Groot when the Gamora event hits... There's no way in hell i'm expanding my roster for more new characters that'll stay undercovered and useless for 4-5 month at least.

    Sharing the same sentiment. For the first 9 or more months I was dying for new characters, and original ones, not just lazy versions of existing ones, but I have fatigue now. I don't think I'll be doing the PvE cycle every 2.5 hours and fight tooth and nail for days on end while trying to do PvP to get some new covers I'll never have the ISO to put into.

    I've appreciated some of the last few new adds, they show some thought behind them, but I have a job, and like to sleep, and am starting to find the new charecter releases infringing on other things I like to do in life.

    It's pretty fun to battle it out for a new release once in a while, but being glued to my phone for days on end for the new charecter release every week is old. I wish I could have the time in my life back I wasted grinding for Doc Oc or Beast. I will probably settle for whatever the top 150 cover is and move on with life.

    Both new characters sound pretty useful which is nice, as long as they don't add more than 2 characters per month I think that is a pretty fair balance, although I would still be more excited that they fix existing characters with glaring issues first like 3* iron man.

    What this tells me is that in-game, a walking tree and a raccoon should be able to beat up the Invisible Woman with no real issues. That's so sad.

    It’s actually kind of a three for one deal, as Rocket and Groot are also getting their very own Episode in which to shine!

    Finally a new story!

    Yeah. Not being able to schedule forum posts like you can blog posts sucks.

    Wow. I missed out on Dr. Octopus, got Devil Dinosaur, and no one since. I was already out of HP. I'm five characters behind, and now there's two more (counting R&G as only one) incoming.

    There's no way I'm getting back in without huge infusions of time and money.

    This doesn't make any sense. If you're not concerned with holding onto the new characters then what's the point of competing so hard to get them?

    I saw the blog post on Facebook, if that says anything.

    Here's how it makes sense: released characters become required characters in high-point PvE rounds and buffed in PvP. If you don't keep them, you relinquish the ability to get upper prizes in future contests. There's no rest for the recents.
