Patch Notes - R96 (03/14/16)

Spiritclaw

Found it:



Obviously, it could be from one of the other listed games, or just from women of power generally. My bad.

TLCstormz

Mockingbird, Coulson, Agent Carter, JJJ, Aunt May, etc should all be 1*s.

Der_Lex

If Fury is a 4*, so is Coulson. Both directors of SHIELD.

Either way, star rating is about status, not power. The icons and big names become 5*.

I like the idea of Mockingbird I hope it's her!

Edit:
But she couldn't be 5*... Is it confirmed that next character will be 5*?

I actually doubt it will be. The last release was a 5*, they have been releasing 2 4*s for every 5* so far. I think this is way too fast, actually, considering many of us don't even have a 5* Spider-Man or Green Goblin.

Maybe they will start working on the 2099 cast now

Mercurywolf

It could also be Victoria Hand as sort of a Reverse-Nick Fury character.

Do any of the other games use cover art, though? I haven't played all of them. I dunno, I feel like it's a "whoops" reveal.

Warbringa

As much as I want it to be a 4* Punisher (he isn't a character in the league of 5* unfortunately) since he is my favorite Marvel character, it will probably be a woman and I am surprised no one has mentioned Silver Sable yet.

Btw there was a woman Punisher for a time but I think it was not very long and I don't remember much about her.

Devil Dinosaur

[pushes glasses up on nose]

Actually...

The young Devil Dinosaur was nearly burned to death by a tribe of Killer-Folk, hostile beings native to his planet, but was rescued by Moon-Boy, a young member of a rival tribe, the Small-Folk. Exposure to the Killer-folk's fire activated a mutation in the dinosaur which gave him powers greater than others of his species and turned his skin from olive green to flame red. Devil Dinosaur was fiercely loyal to his constant companion Moon-Boy and seemed more intelligent than the average dinosaur.*

Ah, but you also missed that the Falcon is also not just a human!

In his earliest appearances Falcon exhibits a close bond with his bird Redwing, which in Captain America #174 Professor X confirms as being a telepathic link. The Red Skull later reveals that he had used the Cosmic Cube to create a "super-normal mental link" between Sam Wilson and Redwing.[45] Falcon later recalled the experience, stating "Hurt like hell. Being mentally fused with that falcon. Able to see through his eyes."[46]

Falcon eventually revealed that he has been able to extend this empathic link. "I'm always psychically connected with Redwing, but through concentration I've recently tapped into another ability -- I'm able to link-up with other birds. ... I have over six billion pairs of eyes in the United States alone." He used this ability to quickly search New York City when the criminal Scarecrow kidnapped two children,[47] as well as to spy on Senator Dell Rusk (actually the Red Skull in disguise) and Henry Peter Gyrich.[48] He is also apparently able to access the memories of birds, and see things they had witnessed in the past (although birds have a different concept of the passage of time, which makes it difficult for him to know when any events they witnessed occurred).[49]

Falcon has shown some ability to apparently control birds, as shown when he enlisted their aid in attacking Scarecrow,[volume & issue needed] and when, badly injured and manacled to a wall, he telepathically summoned a large number of different birds from the surrounding area to smash through a window and attack the Red Skull.[volume & issue needed]

I didn't want to be reminded.

What about Bucky? With civil war coming up, not exactly crazy to put in Winter Soldier who has now been on people's radar screens for many years.

Personally i'd rather have WS than another Pun, but that is my personal distaste for dupes/trips/etc.

pheregas

So nitpicky! I love it!

I'd put lots of money on WS being the Cap America:Civil War tie-in. We know (from the tag at the end of Ultron) that part of the movie will be a search to find Bucky. That's your PvE event right there.

OnesOwnGrief

If a 5* Punisher hits, I'll accept it. He is really good at what he does and that is kill things. Besides that, I don't see anything else coinciding with the Daredevil season dropping this month besides him if they were to do anything.

jackstar0

No problems with a 4*/5* Punisher or a Mockingbird.

But to me Vigilance requires eyes open.

So my guess is we're finally getting Dr. Strange.

I am assuming "JaG" = Just a Guy (or something to that extent?)

I mean... it kind of depends on how you define it. Technically Dr. Doom could be considered to have no superpowers becuase theoretically he got his power from study, which others could do.

If Nova doesn't count, then why would Venom? His power is basically his suit as well. At least Carnage's suit is a part of his blood now. I don't recall Juggernauts origin, exactly, but I think his power comes from some sort of gem as well. Why is Doc Oc in a different category than Iron Man?

So the ones no one has mentioned:
Hawkeye
Venom
Doc Ock
Moonstone? (IIRC, she gets her powers from an amulet)
Juggs?

Also, does SS have any of his own power? Or is it all bestowed upon him by Galactus for being one of his Heralds?

There's also the hooded look.



Or...
