Oh my, the power sounds extremely under powered, since it can only be activated twice in normal matches.

But if the tiles are very powerful, it could be nasty. And how often in a typical match would you get out something like "We Got a Plan" or "Bad Reputation"? The limitation might not be as bad as it seems.

Maybe twice? But first casting is almost certainly when everyone is still alive, so the strike tiles are used to KO the first target speeding up everything.

Still if you're really dying for something, here's one of the Daredevil character's powers (stripped of flavor/name):

"Strike Tile Generator"
(PASSIVE) If [redacted] deals the final blow to an opponent, create ??? Strike tiles of strength ???.

Oh my, the power sounds extremely under powered, since it can only be activated twice in normal matches. It may only be useful in survival nodes.

Those tiles better be really really good. Like in the thousands good. Otherwise, it's an obvious 3 candidate.

The power may be "underpowered"... but it's FREE. Things that don't cost AP are always going to be less strong than things that do, for obvious reasons.

Also, what if the char has a one-shot kill skill like the pre-nerf X-force on 4* Wolverine (or Dr. Doom's ?) Doesn't that make this significantly better, even if the individual strike tiles are low? (because, again, it doesn't cost AP...)

Also, it's totally Foggy Nelson.

My bet is either 3* Bullseye classic, or Jessica Jones. But Im thinking they'll save Jessica for release with the netflix series and Bullseye is more in line with the aiming thing- plus strike tiles after a kill sounds kinda like it would fit him more.

it does ultimately depend on his complementary abilities. That being said our only OHKO character in game is a really bad example of this currently....

San Narciso

Yeah, I'm convinced the three characters in the queue are 3* Bullseye, 2* Cyclops, and 3* Vision. I'm really interested to see the order they come out in. I'm guessing Vision would lead the group since this would've been the clue from the previous patch, and 2* Cyclops to give people a little break before dropping 3* Bullseye at the end of the month.

Anyway, we should probably start a gambling ring... make a little extra money on the side (or lose some) to help pay for all the roster slots with all these millions of new characters they're throwing at us.

OzarkBoatswain

Vision covers can be seen in PVE now.

TLCstormz

Vision is up.

And is it's another Bullseye, they really shouldn't have done the play on words with "aiming to please," because those who were waiting for or voting for or hoping for ANOTHER Bullseye would be a very, very small group of people. lol

Unknown

If Professor X goes invisible and Vision aims to please we shouldnt ever take hints literally LOL

was vision really 'aim to please' I thought he was 'hero need not be human'

A possibility, but one I don't think will be the case, is that there is a Marvel villainous group called A.I.M. About the only member known well enough that I could see them adding to the roster at this time is M.O.D.O.K., before getting to more D-listers. (The only other character tied to AIM that is notable and I am aware of is Red Skull, who I would not expect to ever be a playable character in the game.)

In actuality, there have been hints in this thread for 2* Cyclops having trick shots, and turul's Daredevil image, and those both lend themselves to characters that aim. Heck, it could even be a double hint and apply to the next TWO characters (like how the "A hero need not be human..." could apply to multiple recent characters).

TheHood

I've read rumours about a 2* Cyclops. The idea doesn't excite me at all, but if D3 will release him I hope in this version: Cyclops (Astonishing X-Men) or Cyclops (Unstoppable).

However, I really hope the next character will be 3* Black Bolt / /

Unknown

I think 2* Cyclops will have the 90s Jim Lee costume - I think he'll be the last segment from the X-Men #1 gatefold. I think that leaked out already.

Dom22

i thought it was said earlier in this thread that it will be the All New incarnation of Cyke

bcas76

Yes, seriously. Go back one page in this thread. I asked which Cyclops and it's the one:

TheHood

The All-New one? They choose the worst Cyclops of all time -.-'

I don't think I've ever seen that costume before, but it's a special kind of boring.

CrookedKnight

If we're getting All-New cyclops to go along with revolutionary Cyclops then they'd better be able to be on the same team at the same time.

Because I read All-New X-Men, he is just the past version of Scott with a boring and teen characterization (and with a banal costume). He is the umpteenth copy coming from another timeline. The x-continuity and x-comics are totally full of this kind of character, it's a commonplace too abused, and Bendis is "expired" IMHO.
