(Speculation) Who will be the first 5 stars character ?

Whatever the case it is expected that (s)he will be most reviled for being the first to break the status quo...

But who will be that heinous character ?

I'm not an expert on marvel's universe but it seems that Apocalypse or Thanos would fit the mould.

That would also give us a pretty good indication on "when"...

  • I'd bet my 1.1 million ISO stockpile that it will be Thanos.

    Thanos or Galactus one of this two!

    It will occupy 2 roster slots and every 3 match will kill one character of our roster icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I am pretty sure I saw something a long time ago with them saying there will never be a star.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.pngstar.png

    That being said I would not be surprised if they started releasing them eventually.

    Jean Grey
    Iceman (while controled by Emma Frost)
    Thanos
    Vulcan
    Nova
    Hyperion
    Nathan Summers/Grey (pre-Cabal Cable)
    Galactus

    ^All of those would be prime 5 stars

    UGH YES. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! YES!

    I want this to be a character immediately!!!!

    Just to be completely clear (NOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT), we didn't say we'd *never* make 5*s. Just that there were no plans for 5*s. (Queue Dumb & Dumber "So you say there's a chance?" pic)
    The future. It is a vague and nebulous thing.

    Ah! That's not possible, you see, because that would make a lot of versions of Wolverines...

    I mean, a lots, like, they would as well rename the game "Wolverine and Marvel Puzzle Quest", and that would
    not happen.

    I mean, of course, Wolverine is an important character of the universe, and he is the best there is and... But also he isn't the center of it, right ?

    I mean... ... You know? You might be right on this one ...

    Hehe, I like speculating on things the devs don't know yet they will actually do.

    It makes me feel powerful.
  • If they ever for whatever reason decide to add a 5 star characters then I had better see some cosmic characters being added. But I doubt it will happen. The more likely thing to happen is they add new colors to the board like white for example

    Remember, stars are a ranking of rarity, not strength.
    So obviously the answer is
    Paste-Pot Pete
  • Old Man Logan. For sure.

    Non-Wolverine, non-repeat guesses:
    Dark Phoenix
    Silver Surfer
    Adam Warlock
    Red Hulk
    Howard the Duck
    Power Pack (collectively, with F. Richards)

    If it happens...

    It would most likely tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as per status quo.

    Infinity Gauntlet teasers would indicate Thanos to me.

    Nope, nope, nope. You all are looking at this wrong. If you're going to crack the mold and bust out a 5*, you do it with the most enduring character in the Marvel contiuum: Spider-Man. It would be doubly appropriate, given his current and only incarnation pretty much sucks, yet legions of his fans (yours truly included) have been clamoring for his improvement pretty much since they devastated him months ago.

    Nope, nope, nope. You are all looking at this wrong. If Demiurge is going to crack the mold and release a 5* character, it will be a monumental event. They will want it to not only have impact in-game, but in terms of marketing appeal to draw in new players. In that respect the only sane choice would be the most visible and enduring character in the Marvel continuum: Spider-Man. This would be a doubly appropriate choice, given that his current (and only) incarnation in the game sucks quite frankly, yet legions of his fans continue to clamor for a return to power for their beloved hero.

    Mark my words: If Demiurge goes that 5* route, it'll be Web-head on point.

    I think we are looking at this wrong.

    It will probably be Spiderman, but I don't know why I suddenly think that...

    All the celestials are up for grabs.

    Ego: The Living Planet

    Adam Warlock

    Nebula (comic version, not MCU)

    if they go spidey

    5* has to be Miles Morales.
