Considering the description, with Peggy being from an alternate world where Rogers is dead, that would seem to indicate being exclusive of Rogers ... Ice explainer for Cho and Banner being exclusive was Cho was from an alt universe in which Banner was dead.

BUT, she's also noted as being Team Cap ... like she's been retconned into Civil War somehow ... a WWII era character being retconned into a 21st-century storyline? Did she also fall into ice and wake up decades later?

I certainly hope they can be played together.

So exclusive of Rogers or alt of Rogers or new time-traveling, continuity-hopping ally of Rogers? Find out later this week ... As The Releases Drop!

Yes! So many questions. Would it be 1940's Peggy waking up in the modern world? An origin comic could be awesome.

Is it just me or is this hero horribly broken? The AP increase has an increased effect on spammy abilities this means that cascading against you or facing bosses is made much, much easier. If you combo her with hood and a good prot generator you can outlast almost everything.

Anybody wondering if galactus is going to be immune to her power or did she just become part of the anti-galactus tier, if it gets upgraded to 3 ap then galactus will never get his on hit kill move off therfore allowing you to kill him while just worrying about the damage from him destroying cosmic tiles. Take that galactus, scared of the mighty Peggy Carter

Geno, please. It'd be more entertaining to see that they never considered that conflict, delete it!

Nah, they'll just reduce it to 24/26 ap, making it that much harder for every other team

I think it's awesome. Minus the tie, the entire character is quality. It's better than what marvel is creating these days, actually.

Nah. It's pretty much on par with what Marvel is doing these days. Spider-Gwen or X-23 Wolverine. Same thing. This might be slightly dumber, because they thought a Brit should be Captain America.

I'm disappointed we didn't get the Agent Carter version. Hayley Atwell was charming as hell in that show.

She's only a Brit in the MCU. In the comics, she's American.

Have we still not learned not to post stuff like this?

She's not a brunette in the comics.

I like as an alternate universe character, but I can think of a hundred characters we could have had rather this, even ones Cap related.

Give me Red Skull or Modok over a fan drawing anyday.

She's not Captain America in the comics. Why are we arguing again?

SirLanik

I'm a huge fan of the Agent Carter show, and I am unbelievably pumped to get (any) Peggy Carter in game! And she's super kick ****! Only way this could get any cooler is if we also got America Chavez in game. (and Hellcat...)

smkspy

Maybe we could get Luis from Antman as as Goliath.

Though really, I'm guessing Mary Jane as Iron Man or Pepper in her Rescue armor.

I don't follow, why are those scenarios much easier.

One thing I noticed, there is no issue number on the cover, has anyone ever seen this comic before?

There isn't one because it's not a real comic. It's exclusive to the game, notice the credits for Marvel Puzzle Quest. They made up a character just for this game.

Thought that was probably the case as I couldn't track down anything, not even an issue of 'what if?' with this premise in it.

Have to say it is a fairly disappointing addition, not because of the design or character being poor as they are good, but simply because there are still so many characters that are very popular and still not in the game. Not to mention that the most useful power at one cover is yet again not the t100 prize.

Could have used this cover and dropped captain America. Peggy carter agent/founder of shield would have been awesome.

Since Peggy is already available in game (and we still don't have an official update), I managed to get her full stats. If anyone is interested, here they are:

Peggy Carter (Captain America)
note: she can be teamed up with both FalCap and Steve
health at lvl 270: 14956
Ultimate Soldier (9AP)
Lvl 70:
1. 806 damage to target (ignoring protect tiles)
2. 1136 dmg
3. 1475 dmg
4. 2136 dmg
5. 3466 dmg
Lvl 270:
3. 2873 dmg
4. 4161 dmg
5. 6751 dmg

Legendary Presence (passive)
1. When Peggy's health > 50%, all enemy powers cost 2AP more
2. 40%, 2AP
3. 40%, 3AP
4. 30%, 3AP
5. 30%, 4AP (!!!)

Do as Peggy Says (11AP)
Lvl 70:
1. Stun all enemies but target for 3 turns, place one 3-turn blue countdown (dealing 102 dmg) for each active ally (note: that includes also her, so max 3 countdowns)
2. 167 dmg per countdown
3. 482 dmg
4. 1113 dmg
5. 2726 dmg

These stats seem pretty amazing at my first glance. That passive is a game changer at five covers. Too bad I'll probably never get enough covers to actually play with her

babinro

There's absolutely no way that yellow stays in the game without a nerf.

Adding 4 AP to all enemy skills on a character with great health is so beyond reasonable that I have no idea how this could have made it through testing.

To even try and justify this skill she should have Xavier levels of health and even then the 4AP would really need to be reduced to 3AP. I think most of us expected the skill to stay at 2 AP all the way through and that would have felt powerful enough to make her top tier.

I really hope the devs tested this well because you'll have a LOT of angry players when this gets nerfed after people spend hundreds in buy clubs on CP.

Orangecrush

If those yellow stats are correct, they need to change her ASAP. That is at least 2 times worse than 4* Thor or xfoce wolvie ever were. That yellow makes her better than some 5* toons. Matches against her will take way too long.

Vhailorx

Where is the confirmation that her yellow increases enemy costs by 4ap?

If true, I partly agree with babinro. This power is wildly out out of proportion with other 4* powers.

But I don't know that is more OP than some other features that have been introduced in the past without killing the game (c.f. OML).

Overall this would be another bad sign; Demiurge is no longer just dabbling with power creep, they are plunging right into the deep end of the power creep pool. Getting harder to see this as anything but a cynical play to keep whales whaling for their 35th 4* (and beyond).
