    Is defining the affiliation intended to help us determine who are heroes and who are villains as it relates to the character abilities that do extra damage to villains, etc?

    Yes. Exactly.

    And it has NOTHING to do with Civil War???

    That's almost as bad of a wasted opportunity as NOT having a 4* or 5* Black Panther tie in.

    :+/

    Perhaps that's part of it too, but even if it's just for character abilities, it'll be worth it for that. They might just not want to announce how it relates to the tie-in yet.

    Obviously it's another anagram.

    Lubed Pun. 5* fun-loving Punisher incoming. As it were.

    Just to clarify things for me personally:

    R98: Revenge- the great motivator
    R99: Bundle Up

    Do these refer to the same character, because I don't think we got the character relating to that?, there was nothing vengeful about Howard.

    Does this mean we could be in for another bach to back character release?

    Featuring maybe both War Machine, whose potential cinematic death pushes Stark on a path of vengence targeting is former comrade, and Winter Soldier?

    I thought "Revenge- the great motivator" was a reference to the new Punisher (Max)?

    The Punisher was teased back in R96, "Stay vigilant".

    Then I must have my interpretations messed up. So then
    R95 ("Good vibrations") referred to Quake (Daisy Johnson)
    R96 ("Stay vigilant") referred to Punisher (Max) (the vigilante)
    R97 ("Get down!") referred to Howard the Duck (duck!)
    and
    R98 ("Revenge – the great motivator") is still unknown... correct?

    Yep that's pretty much it. I think the vengeance character will be launched in the PvE after Prodigal Sun.

    Considering deadpool vs MPQ starts tomorrow it would be nice to know the new character before it launches

    If the pattern holds, it should be announced today. Heck, the token page for Deadpool vs MPQ may have been updated already...

    If you Google "Marvel comics bundle up" you get many pictures of the following..

    I posted this on the Civil War thread, but:
    mega ghost wrote:
    And affiliations have been added with the update! I was expecting them to appear front and center, but as of now they're buried at the end of the character description page, after the list of all of their moves. So far the affiliations I see are 'Team Iron Man,' 'Team Cap,' 'Avengers,' 'Fantastic Four,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' 'Heroes,' and 'Villains.'

    'X-Men' and any X-teams are conspicuously missing, which is a bummer. Wolverine doesn't even get an 'Avengers' affiliation. He is just 'Heroes.'

    So while I'm excited about the Civil War dynamic, cutting out any non-MCU properties seems like it's just going to weaken the dynamic or make it largely useless after the Civil War event.

    I was curious about the affiliation thing - is there a reason to not include mutant or x-men (or something similar) in the affiliation? Or does that just mean that the Children of the Atom off-season PVP event is permanently toast?
    "David wrote:
    Moore"]Character Affiliations can now be seen in their bio descriptions. Affiliations include (but are not limited to); Heroes, Villains, and Avengers.

    It doesn't say groups like the X-Men, FF, don't exist (and won't exist in game). It just picked Avengers, Heroes, Villains as subset of affiliations that heroes could be in.

    I wonder if there's an large upcoming Marvel event where people will be divided into 2 rather arbitrary groups casual fans won't be able to remember....nah could never have something like that happen.


    Doesn't anyone remember when we had power-ups like "+50% damage to X-Men" and others like that? Maybe they will be returning!!!
