    Nice, Iron Man, Kamala Khan and Ragnarok are all one cover away from giving covers for fourstar champions. This should be a fun week.
    Tempted to try Nova/Iron Fist if I max Nova this week...

    that sounds nasty. my x23 is one of my next projects and I can see her and nova being great too.

    man i'll miss using im40. looks like hb and cycle through ice/jean/rulk depending on opponents. maybe fist or xpool here or there.

    Hey David, will the new character be offered during the run of Prodigal Sun with the PVE test changes, or the event after?

    New character releases are almost never 7-day PvEs (Totally Awesome Hulk was the latest exception), so I expect this new character to be released in the PvE after PS.

    I need to champ my Falcon so I can take away that last blue cover so he isn't helping out the AI Falcon.

    I actually expect exactly that to happen as it was what they did with Avengers 2. That said, that will not happen until May. DPvsDDQ's character release will be the normal second April release.

    I refer you, sir or madam, to March - April 2015 (you were around back then, right slidecage?). I believe the release schedule went Kamala Khan --> prof. X --> kingpin (daredevil tie-in) --> quicksilver (avenger 2 tie-in) --> scarlet witch (ultron 1) --> imhb (ultron 2) --> vision. I might have the exact order wrong, but all these characters were released in about 8 weeks.

    That was also around the same time as the 4*thor/xfw nerf and the health shift. So people were really pissed. I think the kingpin release event was altered mid-run to award alliance covers for the top 100 (rather than the then typical top 50) due to player outrage. It was a very rough time.

    There was also a huge glut of characters in October-december 2014 (blade, mystique, dino, 4* thor, elektra, cricket all in about 2 months).

    So there is plenty of reason the believe that tie-in characters get added to the normal release schedule, rather than replacing the normally schedule character releases. Hope that changes this year, but am not very hopeful.

    What else are you going to spend Hero Points on? Now they aren't being used to purchase covers the need for roster slots needs to be ramped up.

    Oh, so they've already released the name of the Drax PVP....I always liked the speculation thread for those. I guess we can't have fun things.
