    A KILLER, in upper case. Ooh, it must mean another anagram.

    IR KAL-EL.

    So, infra-red, and someone called Kal-El. It couldn't be, could it?

    Will we see a return of official character previews?

    I like the addition of upcoming PVEs and PVPs. Hope that stays in future Patch Notes.

    - The Iso-8 Brotherhood is at it again

    Does this mean a new prologue mission? Would be nice to have a play new play at your own pace spot.

    Id imagine a retooled PVE event. Iso8 brotherhood was a 12 hour sub event. Id also bet it will award A KILLER UPDATE

    Are these the three PvP's to start season 15? Because these kind of announcements every Wednesday would be excellent if that's what you're doing.

    I'm a fan of the interviews given at Marvel.com before a character's release, but after the Quicksilver pre-release nerf, I personally would rather they never give stat-filled character previews on the forum again. It would certainly soften the disappointment towards a mediocre character if we didn't know in advance how much better they could've been (which was marginally better in the case of Quicksilver, but still.)

    As always with preview notes, things may change before release!

    What Got Better…
      - Bullseye's "Contract Killer" no longer fires excessively. One contract per victim, Lester!

    So... question on this. I had a game this morning where I downed a goon using Deadly Precision (downed from power damage), then downed Yelena from resulting match damage after the power. Contract Killer fired only once even though two were downed in the same turn from different actions - working as intended?

    Well, if he was paid to kill someone, and blew up their car.. killing all occupants, he still only gets paid for the 1.

    Yes, but if he was being paid to kill 2 people and both of them were in the same car when it blows up, he should get paid for both.

    I have a feeling the way it is done in the mechanics is 1 turn = 1 contract. I just tried it in the loaner sub, and it does not proc until your turn is over, and even if you kill multiples in one turn, it only fires once.

    You may have found a minor issue.

    Edit: It will also proc on what should be a turn ender. Killed someone with an ability, it did not proc, got a 5 match and it proc'd, killed next with ability, ended turn with a 3 match and it proc'd a 2nd time. Since the 5 match was considered a turn ending move, it let it rip, the 5 match then gave me technically a 2nd turn, which is why it went off both times.
