We wanted to show that Flash is constantly fighting with the symbiote’s more violent tendencies.

I thought that's what 5-star Spider-Man was, but apparently not!"In rare, dark times when Peter Parker was pushed past his breaking point by his enemies, he donned a replica of that black suit and uncharacteristically embraced his rage, showing villains that even Spider-Man isn't always so friendly." This delegitimizes him as a 5-star character, if he's just Peter Parker in a different color fabric. I assumed it was the symbiote that gave him his invisibility powers, but apparently he just "darts through the shadows, using his foe's confusion to disappear completely." And if he's not having his strength reinforced by the symbiote, how is it that he "grabs a nearby parked car and hurls a 2 ton fastball"? From what I'm reading now online he apparently can lift ~10 tons, but I honestly don't remember that ever being canonical in the comics. Like, anything of roughly car weight would be doable but a struggle?

Oddly enough, things might finally change in January, when the merchandising license rights go back to Marvel Uh, what? Has some new deal recently been struck? I thought FOX owned those rights indefinitely as long as they continue to make a film every seven years (not a problem for X-Men, FF is in question though). In the meantime, Marvel isn't doing ANY merchandising related to any of those characters because they gain such a small share of the profits. In fact, just the other day I saw someone wearing a tee-shirt from the original Secret Wars limited series (cover from issue #1) and it had the X-Men and FF removed from the artwork. I asked the guy where Reed Richards was (originally stretching across the battlefield) and the guy said, "Who?"

The way I understand it is Marvel gets a small % of any profits from film and merchandising for characters licensed to Fox. This is why you never see action figures for things like X-Men Apocalypse while the aisles are flooded with Avengers toys. The percentage is such a paltry sum it isn't in Disney's interest to commission such things. They're not interested in promoting those characters, which is why there isn't even a monthly FF book anymore. The only reason they keep publishing X-Men is because of their popularity and the books sell well. This arrangement was made long before the creation of Marvel Studios and the sale to Disney, of course. I've heard this has led to a cold war between Fox and Disney - Marvel desperately wants the X/FF franchises back (probably the X-Men more given how Fox has treated the FF) and isn't willing to do anything additional to promote those characters for the betterment of Fox. Thus the ban. The arrangement with Sony over Spider-Man has been much more amicable, thank goodness, evidenced by Sony's willingness to let Marvel Studios share Spider-Man.

Sounds lame to me. it says the swapped ability drains your highest ap pools, so it would eventually switch back I assume? That said, the ddq 4 star missions are supposed to be challenging and puzzle like, so I'm sure there would be some kind of strategy with whatever opponent they choose. Part of that strategy will probably be "don't match colors you don't need"
