An Introduction for the Supporting Cast

Mawtful

We've still got a lot of ground to cover in terms of playable characters, but the world of Marvel is more than just that. There's a ton of supporting characters who are there to help the heroes in their time of need. Characters like Aunt May, Foggy Nelson, Colonel Stryker, or Cosmo. These are characters which really don't warrant a playable character, but are significant enough in the stories of the heroes. I was wondering what, if any, role they could play in MPQ.

With the game's current mechanics, I think they'd take the form of Team Up "tokens" and would fill a Boost slot when used. I imagine them having a passive effect. As an example, we might see something like:

Aunt May
> Team must include Spider-Man
> At the start of battle, one of your opponents kidnaps Aunt May.
> When that enemy is defeated, Spider-Man receives a burst of health.

Colonel Stryker
> Team must include Wolverine
> At the start of battle, Wolverine is stunned for 3 turns.
> When this stun ends, Wolverine rages - dealing X team damage.

Cosmo
> Start with 2 additional Team Up AP for each Guardian of the Galaxy on your team.

Deadpool
> Hey, it's me, Deadpool!
> Oh, there was a match-5 on the board that you missed.
> That's not a very good plan.
> Are you sure you know what you're doing?
