    How about Darwin? He could "adapt" to the opponents special tiles and negate them. Iceman could be a stunner. Or maybe sabertooth to replace nerfed wolvie

    Well Sabretooth wouldn't replace old 2* Wolvie. Sabretooth is bigger and bulkier; he puts his weight behind his punches, so they're bigger if and when they connect, but he also moves slower. His healing ability is not nearly as strong as Wolverine's. He would probably be a red/green 3* hero. He's a 2nd Rag, and I don't really know how to make that interesting. However, I had assumed that the next mutant would be one of the X-Men, but it could be a new Villain (we just had two good guys in a row with Patch and DD). So maybe someone like Omega Red?

    Iceman, on the other hand, is really interesting. He could have protect, stun and offence abilities. He and Spider-Man would spend more time coming up with new snarky remarks and one-liners.

    Cyclops should also be interesting. He's not really a definitive tank, but then maybe we're not getting another tank just yet.
  • Thing for the 4* definitely works because of his Bag Lady allegiance. Colossus is an obvious tank but could just as well be 2* or 3*.

    I hope they do at least some more alts, even if fewer in future. I like the idea. As long as it's not *Wolverine. That filthy mutie gets everywhere.

    Haha, he is certainly the mutant poster boy.

    I think IceIX said that Patch is the last alternate cover they have planned for a while. They want to expand the roster with different and varied characters. I hope that means new colour combinations soon.

    Four * Villain would be cool.

    Someone like Abomination.
  • I could see them introducing jean as a healer or rogue as an ap thief.

    Would love to have beast or saber tooth be the next tank though.

    Yeah Jean and Rogue would be awesome. I was thinkin more of dp jean though, so she can be the first 5*. But then again it would be almost impossible to level/obtain a five star.

    Yeah + I would imagine them having 10-12 4*'s before upping the power level again.
  • They need to release at least one other decent 4* when they buff 4* wolvie. Otherwise he will be the new Rag where every high level player uses him.
  • Leech could temporarily disable an enemy ability. Aside from x men, I'd love to see ghost rider. He'd be a heavy hitter, but penence stare might be too overpowered to incorporate as an ability though.
  • Professor X, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, Gambit, Rogue so many..

    As a 4* star villain Dark Phoenix could be nice, Onslaught too. Ultron as a preview for the next avengers movie. Or Apocalypse, because I have a crush on him since 96 xD

    I´ve been thinking the other day on Sebastian Shaw ...

    Black passive. When an enemy ability or passive is activated he gains an small amount of AP of the same colour. If he is the target, the damage is reduced by half.

    Blue ability. A reasonable high amount of blue AP to activate and depletes the same number for the other colours. He regens to full health.

    Red ability. High amount of red AP to activate and depletes the reserve of all colours. Massive damage to the enemy team. Maybe not only depletes the colours, instead he needs the same amount of them as red to activate it in the first place.

    You do the numbers icon_razz.gif

    It'd take roughly 96-120 AP (assuming 16-20 AP per colour). Unless the ability was OP it just wouldn't be worth it, and if it was OP the whole game would be just collecting AP for *that red ability* (and maybe spending some purple on OBW). I don't think it'd be possible to balance such a skill.
  • Thing is fitting to match w/IW, Colossus has been thrown out by IceIX, but what about Mr. Sinister? I'd love to see him come around.
  • I remember seeing somewhere around here that Colossus is gonna come but he's not the next of the X-men to join.
    I think they're gonna add Emma Frost or Cyclops next.
    In terms of 4* tank possibilities I could totally see someone like Luke Cage, Sentry, or Skaar working.
    Not sure who else would be other a tank from the X-men other than Colossus, maybe Rogue?

    You might actually have a chane at seeing mr.s. He isnt one of the most demanded characters, but ares, wolvie patch, and dare devil wasnt either. I thought the devs would have introduce deadpool by now because almost EVERYONE voted for him in old polls for the next character, i guess it's all about following a story with **** events.

    Luke cage is a 2**. No way a 4****. Skaar will prob be a 3*** since hulk is 3***. Sentry will undoubtedly be 4****...unless they make the void 4**** and sentry 3***. I agree its prob Emma or cyclopse next. Probably cyclopse.

    Yeah I felt like it was a bit of a stretch when I mentioned Cage but he still needs to show up eventually. Was also thinking the same thing with Skaar being the 3* Dark Hulk and all. I just was tossing Skaar and Sentry in because of the lack of a 4* villain(even though there's only 2 4* characters).
    I think it's actually gonna be Emma Frost as the latest of X-men before Cyclops just so they get closer to completing the Cabal. It could also be Namor I guess if they want to stretch that first mutant thing.

    It won't be Namor. There's a rights thing getting in the way of that. He can't appear in any video game at the moment.

    4* Magneto also would be nice
