So no alternative Cyclops versions, huh?

A couple variants made it into code/art at some point or another. That happens with a lot of characters though (who remembers GotG Iron Man from soft launch?) Doesn't mean that all those characters make it out into the game.

intersante....

Looking at Spectacular Strategy vs QS Fists of Fury... it feels just wrong when 1* got actually better power than 3*

Moonstone and Jugg already got that covered, but yeah, salt in the wound

IceIX -- that's good to hear!

Along those lines... IF, by a completely random example, and not at all relating to unofficial third-party intel of any kind... if the All-New X-Men version of Cyclops JUST SO HAPPENED to be added to the game at some point... he should definitely be coded to be able to group with *** Cyclops -- because the entire point of his being brought to the present by Beast was so that the two could interact/talk/be in the same place at the same time.

Yep. Same as if we released older Jean Grey for that matter. They're different people, no reason they can't be around in the same team. The only reason you can't use Goddess Thor and Odinson Thor at the same time is that there's only one (real) Mjolnir.

Pretty sure that's always been there -- it's the big-eyed (Classic) version, not Ditko's.

Yeah, I mentioned this as a "false impression" on new players, thinking they can get Spidey from it. This is now corrected.

Thor's there too, but he can also possibly drop within reason as a 2 star.

To be fair, I never looked at the spoiler thread and the reason I know there was supposed to be another version of Cyclops was because Joe Fletcher let it slip in the Marvel interview.

http://marvel.com/news/video_games/2408 ... st_cyclops

"This 3* (rare) version of Cyclops runs off the power and leadership side of Cyclops’ persona, with abilities that show off the more brute force side of him as opposed to the Hawkeye-like trick shots that he’s also perfectly capable of. "

Can't blame this one on the spoiler thread.

With that one, I was speaking in general terms, not announcing a new character. I also talked about Ego the Living Planet on the Marvel Live Steam at SDCC recently, doesn't mean it's planned (or is it?).

Wait, wait IceIX = Joe Fletcher?

I think it's interesting that Venom dominates this character. It relies on web tiles, but there's no ability here that gets rid of web tiles. If you use his abilities too much, Gargan's only 12 black from downing any character.

His purple looks great, especially against goons. He could conceivably be used as a utility character 3/5/5 with teams needing purple/blue active coverage. Will probably waste a roster slot on him... because he's spiderman. Hope the art is good. Can see new players using him with Storm for rainbow active coverage, and him tanking.

I think that's honestly appropriate. Venom suppresses Spider Sense, so in a direct one on one fight between the two, Venom has always had the upper hand. Spiderman has only been able to defeat Venom by using his wits and other outside sources to weaken him.

This does also open the door for the Spidey/Venom combo being revived for the 1st time in well over a year! New players will probably carry a Spidey/Venom team into PvP and see some pretty high scores, perhaps even high enough that I may see some easy points floating around

Would actually prefer if they release a new 2*, but new 1* is also welcome
Wonder if there will have new 2* soon?

It's misdirection. He's actually Stan Lee.

Why couldn't they just toss the Mjolnir back and forth between themselves. Thor thows down Call the Storm and tosses the hammer to Thor to Smite the last man standing.

So when jane doesn't have the hammer, would her Heath go down to about 6? Without it, she is nearly dead.

Though technically with the X-men from the past in the present... they would not be able to converse with themselves since they won't exist in the present (future) if they leave the past, until they return. If you hop out of the stream with your kayak and run up ahead, no matter how fast you run you cannot high five yourself because you aren't in the water anymore. Taking the future or current x-men to the past would have been much more logical.

Addressing JVreal's comment:

**** SOME COMICS SPOILERS ****

I get what you're saying but in the comic books, there are scenes in which past (All-New) and present X-men are standing together talking. That includes Cyclops, Beast and Ice-man but not Angel and Jean because their present selves are already dead. There were even a couple scenes with past, current, and future Beast and Iceman along with past Jean and the future version of her past self that stayed in the present. Crazy. As far as I know the All-New X-men haven't returned to the past yet so we don't know how that will happen, if they'll remember being in the future and change things or how it will affect the current timeline.

In the first few issues though they were hesitant about going back to the past when they had the chance because they knew that the past Prof. X would be able to read their minds, know that they had seen the future and would erase their memories of it so that they wouldn't have the chance to change their behavior and alter the future. They didn't want that because the whole reason why they were brought to the future in the first place was to see what has transpired and aspire to be better X-men and keep the bad things from happening.

Anyone know when Tiny Spidey will hit the Recruit Tokens today?

Think everyone is waiting on someone else to try first... so no-one has checked.

I know this conversation thread has changed quite a bit, but am the only one that think the current and Spider-Man should swap powers? The actually sounds more like the Spider-Man I would have expected from the beginning! seems more true to the comic books, after all, Spider-Man never overcame Venom, Carnage, or the Sinister Six with stuns, protect tiles, or healing. He did, however, use his swing ability and web bullets. Kind of bummed I won't end up placing Spider-Man on my roster in the future because this version sounds awesome

I don't think they should swap powers, I think 3* Spider-man should adopt 1* Spider-man's abilities so he can start to get some use outside of DDQ essential nodes.

R81 just hit for iOS, and Spidey is indeed in the tokens. I opened 29 and got 5 covers. Pretty sweet!

Jam_Adams

I held onto over 30 standard tokens and opened them today (since OSM was being introduced today). I didn't get a single OSM cover. has anyone gotten any?
