  • More X-Men and the Fantastic 4 would be great. We need to be able to run a wider range of tournaments, and X-Men is the obvious choice.

    Hulk also needs to happen, preferably at 3*. It might be fun to have a 2* Bruce Banner version that temporarily transforms into the Hulk (draining Green AP but substantially increasing tile-matching damage dealt, Hulk Smash!) when not in Hulk from Bruce could use science to solve problems (mess with enemy controlled tiles) or maybe transform tiles into different colours. The trick is doing this while still making him useful - Loki is a really poor 3*, and needs some love as well.

    Silver Surfer would be great and Galactus would make an hilarious 4*.

    More 1* star heroes (and maybe a 2* or two) available in the regular store would be great, this would also tempt people to increase their collection size further, so I think that it would be good for business. I'm reaching the point where there is no purpose in my using regular recruit tokens or spending ISO-8 there, and I'm sure that others will reach that point soon. Ideally a couple of 1* X-men so that we can have that tournament and everyone can play in it.
  • I would say Henry Pym, but the current precedent is different star quality for different costume, and we don't have enough qualities for ant man, goliath, giant man, yellowjacket, wasp, et cetera.

    Probably best to keep my expectations low and figure on an Iron Man, Inventor of Ultron card with the new movie.

    I think there are enough stars to handle Hank Pym, you have a good idea icon_e_smile.gif

    Ant-Man = 1*
    Yellowjacket = 2*
    Giant-Man or Goliath = 3* (don't need both)

    Wasp can be her own 1* cover.
  • We are lacking 1-star characters in this game, so here are some suggestions for 1-stars that could be added that might be useful without being annoyingly OP or totally worthless:

  • We currently have:

    Daken and 2 wolverines
    Venom and 2 spider-mans
    Yelena Belova and 2 black widows
    Bullseye and 2 hawkeyes
    _______ and 2 iron mans
    Moonstone and 2 __________

    Clearly we need an Iron Patriot and 2x carol danvers
  • My list mostly consists of X-men, because I am most familiar with them icon_e_smile.gif

    Nightcrawler, Rogue, Colossus, Gambit, Hulk, Sunfire, She-Hulk and many others, but let's concentrate on just chip l couple for now
  • Every day this game is without Howard the Duck is a lost opportunity.

    I have a soft spot for the 70s and 80s, so the classic Defenders lineup (Nighthawk, Valkyrie, Doctor Strange, Hellcat) comes to mind. Power Man and Iron Fist (and with the way Luke Cage has been promoted in recent years, hard to imagine he won't arrive soon). The West Coast Avengers -- Mockingbird, Wonder Man, Tigra, Moon Knight, Doctor Pym.

    And lord knows we need some oddball groups like the Headmen, Nextwave, the Agents of Atlas and the X-Statix.
  • I think that some Non-Superhero characters could be fun...

    Agent Coulson and Maria Hill anyone? They might end up sucking for health, but they could be great buff-ers with all of the S.HI.E.L.D. tech they could use!

    My top 3 Heros:
    Bishop
    Magik
    Deadpool

    My top 3 Villains:
    Mr. Sinister
    Carnage
    Omega Red
  • All of the above! Lots of great suggestions in this thread.

    Top of my list would be the Hulk.

    Two words: Devil. Dinosaur.

    They could even add a 4-star villainous Devil Dinosaur in an ascot, as seen in Nextwave!

    ...

    Another idea that could be amazing: MODOK.

    ...

    And one they're more likely to do any day now:

    Captain Marvel (Marvel Now!)

    This also allows variants - old school Ms. Marvel, Binary, Warbird...

    It's really strange to have the Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel faker, but ignore the character she's copying.

    A four-star Dormammu cover is a must! (And a one-star Dr. Strange cover, so I can easily crush him.)
  • HULK!!!!

    Charles X and Deadpool would be mega!!!
  • By my count, there are currently 15 heroes and 11 villains (counting Marvel Now! Magneto as a hero):

    Heroes:
    Wolverine (X-Force)
    Black Widow (Grey Suit)
    Iron Man (Model 40)
    Spider-Man (Classic)
    Captain America (Modern)
    Hawkeye (Modern)
    Magneto (Marvel NOW!)
    Spider-Man (Bag-Man)
    Storm (Classic)
    Thor (Marvel NOW!)
    Wolverine (Astonishing X-Men)
    Black Widow (Modern)
    Hawkeye (Classic)
    Iron Man (Model 35)
    Storm (Modern)


    Villains:
    Doctor Doom (Classic)
    Loki (Dark Reign)
    Magneto (Classic)
    Ragnarok (Dark Avengers Thor)
    The Hood (Classic)
    Bullseye (Dark Avengers Hawkeye)
    Daken (Dark Avengers Wolverine)
    Moonstone (Dark Avengers Ms. Marvel)
    Juggernaut (Classic)
    Venom (Dark Avengers Spider-Man)
    Yelena Belova (Dark Avengers Widow)


    Also, with the obvious exception of Ragnarok, and maybe 3-star Magneto, and maybe kinda-sorta Daken and Venom, the villains are, shall we say...not quiiiiite as good as the heroes.

    To add variety, I would suggest adding decently powerful versions of White Queen, Sub-Mariner, Winter Soldier, Mystique, and whichever version of Norman Osborn (though I'm sure some version of Osborn must be coming).
  • Professor X ***

    Blue Passive - "Telepathic Dominance" (there's bound to be a better name)
    While there are N blue tiles on the board, opponent abilities require X additional AP to activate.

    Adjust N and X for balance as the power is levelled up.

    Could be a counter to Ragnarok and Spidey low AP abilities.

    I think if the devs wanted to make an absolutely hateable character, even more annoying than passive-spammers like Daken and Bullseye, it would be a character that adds +X (+1, +2, etc.) to any/all enemy AP costs. Man alive would that be annoying.

    I could see that in place for a PVE-style boss, like an Apocalypse or something though.
  • icon_lol.gif

    I think it could be balanced to be not too annoying. Probably +3 AP max, which is only one extra match. Keep his health low compared to other characters of his level (this is Prof. X in a wheelchair).

    To counter him you'd just take someone who naturally wants blue AP, to reduce number of tiles below the threshold. The dynamic between him and Magneto would be nice, and character appropriate. And like C.Storm, you'd want to attack him first, likely.

    Of course, it'd be really annoying when I didn't have him, and the other player had him with maxed ragnarok. I'd skip that fight icon_e_biggrin.gif
  • I'd like to see:

    Mufasa
    Raphael
    and Peter Griffin.

    Doubt that it'll ever happen though.
