    But, this is awesome news -- she's been a major player in the comics for years now. Looking forward to finally having some Inhumans in the game! (And I hope the newly redesigned Karnak is the third!)
    America Chavez (Ms America), Silk, Riri Williams (girl Ironman)

    Not sure why y'all have a bee in your bonnet about the choices.....I mean, I DO, but I don't want to get banned.....but, the choices were perfectly fine, as far as representation goes.

    Also, "girl Ironman"? So messy.

    Labeling her the winner is misleading since she was the least **** choice in the toilet bowl that was that poll.

    I didn't vote since I didn't know (any?) of the characters. Any chance of having some FAQ/breakdown of who this is?

    A bit of reading on her here.

    In short, she's the wife of King Black Bolt, the Inhuman Queen of Attilan (and of recently, the Kree Empire), and her signature power is Trichokinesis (the power to manipulate hair of oneself or others).

    I guess some sort of board manipulation power is a given, but please don't let her become just a female Doc Ock. Maybe she could move enemy tiles to the middle two rows, so that Black Bolt could take them out? Or maybe she could use her hair to disarm any traps and replace them with a charged tile? Not only is that further synergy with Black Bolt, but she'd be the first character to actively counter those annoying traps! (Caltrops, anyone?)

    And, as Stochasticism has already suggested, let's make her Red/Black/Purple...!

    I think you're thinking of the wrong Medusa...

    No they'll just say "Medusa wraps someone uyp in her hair and stuns them for 2 turns" or something. Because it's obvious =P

    I would like to see the full poll results, if the powers that be could be so kind. I agree Medusa was the obvious choice against America Chavez and Silk, who are still being fleshed out as characters, and Riri, who's barely even been introduced. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing the vote numbers.

    And for the love of God, please don't have her wearing a mask. When is the last time she's worn a mask in a comic? Why would she? She's a queen, and has really long hair that moves. What secret identity could she possibly have or hide?

    She was the only non-iron man/spiderman/captain america variant. I don't see how we wouldn't want another variant of one of those...

    I don't know how many times people have to say that America Chavez isn't a Captain America variant for people to figure it out.

    Those...actually aren't that bad. I'm most familiar with Medusa's story so I would have gone with her anyway, but I like the character designs of the other 3.

    BTW Medusa would be the 3rd Inhuman. Kamala was the first icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Don't forget Quake. By my count, that's four: Kamala Khan, Quake, Black Bolt (upcoming) and Medusa (upcoming).

    Probably at least as many times as you need to say that Spider-Woman isn't a Spider-Man variant.

    As for the poll, well, I'm glad to see that common sense won the day - Medusa was the only logical choice. I am curious as to whether she ends up joining MPQ as a 4* or 5*, and if she has Fantastic Four as one of the affiliations in her bio.

    So if Blackbolt and Medusa are the new heroes incoming....

    Can we get some of their opponents added too? There aren't enough "bad guys" in the game. I know nothing of their opponents, but something new (as in enemy team/alliance/group) would be a good think in my opinion....

    Maximus would be SWEET!

    Ronan the accuser! Gray character between villain and hero, related to a lot of current characters (FF, Guardians of the galaxy, Nova, SSurfer, Inhumans, Avengers and XMen alike!!)
    Not too iconic, but perfect for a 5*
