    Fun fact: There is apparently an MPQ newsletter. I have no idea how to get it, so I'm going to make up my own fun facts.
    Fun fact: D3 originally started looking for its community outreach manager in masochism support groups.
    Fun fact: MPQ was originally created as a psychological test, curiously enough, also for people in masochism support groups.
    Fun fact: Beast was designed pre-nerfed, and Iron Fist pre-buffed. Both characters will be fixed by switching their power sets.

    I didn't know about it either, but I believe I found out how to subscribe. On Puzzle Quest's Facebook page, look for the "More" option on the right. There's a drop-down with an option for Join Email List.

    Nope.

    Actually, it might, but I my facebook page is a fake, and I only use it for this game, and it's tied to an email account I never check.

    Correct. Note that you don't need to use a FB account to sign up for the email list and you can sign up with any email. The Join Email List takes you to a form asking for your name and email to add to our list.

    Fun Fact: Ben Grimm has actually won the Token Sweepstakes twice, but he never checks his e-mail, so it passed to the first runner-up.

    Overpowered. Should be nerfed immediately, the 1* players cannot get past the wolverine astonishing x-men wall they hit at 150 points.

    At a guess, judging by both some of the past responses and the current story, both Iron Patriot (Norman Osborn) and The Void were two that were developed but shelved for now. Taskmaster and Emma Frost from the Cabal would be other good calls (Namor I doubt has been developed despite his links to the Cabal). Then the last two I would shoot for The Thing and Mr. Fantastic, as I presume they will join the other two, but have yet to appear.

    Weird, I just tried it again and it worked fine for me (and my Facebook doesn't automatically login), but here's a ;ink MPQ FB Page. There's a section in the header that says "More" just hit that and select "Join E-Mail List". It'll open up this red box with three text fields.

    Idle speculation... If Iron Patriot was one of the chars that was pulled, I wonder if it was at Marvel's behest because they didn't want casual fans being "confused" by a bad, Norman Osborne Iron Patriot when they are used to the good James Rhodes Iron Patriot from Iron Man 2 and 3....

    (I may be overthinking this.)

    Not at all saying that IP was pulled, but his existence due to being in Dark Reign is kind of an open secret so I don't feel weird about answering this. Marvel's only comment in that direction was to make sure that we had at least one pose showing Osborn's face so that people didn't get confused.
