    Sporting the slogan "Get Down, America!", the All-Night Party was a fictional political party that appeared in Gerber's Howard the Duck series during the U.S. Presidential campaign of 1976,[6] and led to Howard the Duck receiving thousands of write-in votes in the actual election.[7] Gerber addressed questions about the campaign in the letters column of the comic book and, as Mad Genius Associates, sold merchandise publicizing the campaign.

    Just to note, if they release him for April 1st (and lord knows they should) that'll be 3 new characters in 4 weeks (with Punisher(Max) via Venom Bomb starting tomorrow)

    If it's Howard it means we will have all the characters on this cover, just in time for Civil War:

    Actually that is US Agent, not Captain America. And I am not sure which Ant-Man that is.

    Wilson’s Gambit

    Why Wilson's Gambit is red? It should be black, if only you wouldn't change the ability color in R97.

    Ah, true.

    Looking through the comic (it's on Marvel Unlimited, originally published Oct. 1, 2006) it never said his name but says his story is continued in "Irredeemable Ant-Man", which makes him Eric O'Grady, not Scott Lang.

    I have no idea. It doesn't even play into the story in the comic itself. I guess because the artist thought it looked cool/funny?

    Dakens blue has color converting and strike tile removal effect. Should not be "fixed".
    Danger Zone creates strike tiles and should be able to fire in the case when that happens

    I'm going to guess that Daken can't fire if there are no strike.png tiles to convert AND there are no bluetile.png tiles to convert to greentile.png .

    I read the notes to mean if there is no target-able enemy (such as airborne or invisible). Is that not what they're trying to do?

    Daken's attack does damage even without strikes or blue tiles on board so it should always be available as an option.

    OK, true, but first-and-foremost, Daken's ability is an attack with a "target". If the target does not exist, the power should not be able to launch, right?
    Daken springs a trap, but his addiction to "Heat" threatens to push him over the edge. Damages the target for 99, converts two blue tiles to green, and converts up to 2 friendly strike tiles to basic tiles doing 50 damage per strike tile converted.

    Given the way that "Danger Zone" is written, I agree with you that it should be able to fire because it's about the strike tile creation first and foremost. The attack is only a result if the strike tile creation criteria is not met.
    Trying to impress his teammates, Nova increases his flight speed even further. If there are fewer than 5 friendly Black Strike tiles on the board, creates 3 Black Strike tiles of strength 37. Otherwise, Nova loses control and crashes into his enemy, converting all friendly Black Strike tiles to basic tiles and dealing 1751

    Though, even though it is written poorly, I guess one would need to target someone to crash into if the criteria isn't met, and since you cannot target anyone, the ability should not launch to begin with?

    Isn't it time to add our sixth five-star character?
    I'd be OK with Howard at that rarity.

    Yep. He has a classic "Irredeemable" shower scene during the Civil War. The perv.

    Heroes that are immune to stun can now be targeted by a stun (they are still immune to the effect).
    It's a tiny but satisfying buff for my Silver Surfer! That's tubular!

    If we keep posting every hint is Dazzler, will we get it? How were the devs convinced everyone wanted Spider-Gwen?
