    I didn't see a 4* Uncle Ben coming. I really didn't.

    He would be easy to one shot...

    He'd have one power: when Uncle Ben dies, the other characters get +10 AP in their strongest colors.

    We could call it "Hero's Focus"

    Hopefully a rework and not a 4* iteration.

    Unfortunately I dont have my files with me now, to check that, but 90% its a rework.

    Pls wait about 8 hrs for more info icon_e_smile.gif

    It's Spiderman Original

    I guess that means they weren't okay with how much of the Ultron event Spidey's protect tiles could make trivial?

    Stun that gets cheaper with covers? Errr, been there, nerfed that?

    Crits? Spidey as new Yelena/Bullseye?

    Look forward to more specifics. Will miss his purple generated shields. Awesome synergy with purple users like GSBW, Khan, Scarlet Witch, Fist, Daredevil, etc.

    it's not rocket science. Yellow needs to do damage based on number of web tiles. Purple protect tiles need to be web tiles also. Done. Interesting character achieved.

    Purple protect tiles being web tiles would break his blue in twine, ushering a new era of team perma-stun. It may not be rocket science but it is neither thinking some random cool idea in a few seconds and clicking your tongue at how stupid the devs must be not to come up with something like that. There are a number of variables to consider, ever-increasing with each new mechanic added to the game.
    No it wouldn't. Match purple, get a protect tile. Match blue twice, 2 turn stun. That's 9 ap for a two turn stun. Or 12 ap for a 3 turn stun. Maybe the cap could be three, but that would in no way be broken, and substantially less powerful than most strategies in the game. Hell for 9 blue you can already stun for 3 turns and get charged tiles, and it's a skill that was nerfed into sucking.

    Turul -- that's a rework of the existing 3* Spidey, correct? Not a completely new 2* or 4*?

    Still no love for SG on protect tiles? Mags can make some nice ones as well.

    I figured we were going for 'easiest as possible' or else I would've suggested 1* iron man

    It is a new version: "Original"
    (existing is Spiderman Classic and Bagman)

    So I guess new 4*!

    hmm wouldn't Classic and Original be the same thing? I would expect a 4* to be Ultimate
  • so I was right......new 4*spidey will kickbutt and 3*spidey will be left in the dust - repeating the pattern of 4*Hulkbuster

    Or it may be a new 1* for all we know at this point. Being one of the most popular characters in the WORLD, letting people just starting have a spiderman to use right off the bat, would entice them to keep playing.

    Yeah, original Spiderman is very silly. Sounds like a food product.

    Sometimes names in the files are placeholders, or not the final version. Star-Lord had a power named Quill's Gambit ... Fisk stole that name it seems! And some stuff there is abandoned or in limbo. Like that 2* Cyclops.....

    If cyclops can get a 2* variant...

    It would make sense to increase the 2* pool if they are having an essential 2* for every pve

    edit: forgot bagman. I think of him as a totally separate non-spidey character for some reason.

    I suspect turul remembered "rework" and not new.

    However, I would expect to get 4* Miles sooner or later. I have a running theory they are trying to fill in new avengers: http://io9.com/miles-morales-joins-the-avengers-in-marvels-post-secret-1693802926

    We have Thoress, Kamala, Vision, Falcon (but 4* cap eventually?) - Miles front and center in the reveal image.

    do we have to get top 50 for 1* characters?

    You just have to play for a week and open all your standard tokens and get pvp drops.
