    These almost always get pushed on Monday around noon PST.

    So some people still doubt there's an issue with using mutants? Even though it's been over a year since one got released? Even though they no longer have X-Men as their team affiliation?

    Wows!

    Pretty sure we will get 5* Thor in 2017 to round out the Avengers they already have as 5*, so I've already prepared myself for that.

    I'm anticipating that too. I'd be extremely excited for an All-Father Thor (with the arm of the Destroyer), but chances are they will just make the MCU version (basically just another skin of the 2 and 3-star Thor), and that is heartbreaking given what could have been. Similarly, 5-star Hulk should have been Grey Hulk, but here we are. I'm still holding out for 5-star God Emperor Doom, since he won't have an MCU version to cannibalize his 5-star form.

    I was hoping for God Doom as well but Secret Wars has long since passed.
    What I think we might get instead is the new Doom.

    I don't see them adding Doom anytime soon either. Could be wrong, but I hope for the best. I'm anticipating that this will be a new 5* and the next 4 is a variant of someone we already have as well or vice versa. I would love for a new PVE story event or them throw in a random team-up alliance event for the holidays. I think with the recent ask the community poll about, hints at a possible secret wars event which would be awesome.

    Update is live on iOS. Just updated looks like Thanos is the next 5*.

    Since nothing in the change log appears to affect moves that target team-up tiles, I assume it was a back-end change for one of Thanos' powers that broke Polarizing Force and Mistress of the Elements.

    It’s a 5* and a 3* Thanos, from the D3 support page:
    https://d3publisher.helpshift.com/a/marvel-puzzle-quest/?s=news-updated-12-19-2016&f=r116-release-notes---12-19-16&l=en

    Which then leads to the official announcement:

    https://news.marvel.com/games/57133/piecing-together-marvel-puzzle-quest-thanos/

    UPDATE: this 2nd link has info on the Holiday events, doesn't look like Galactus or Boss Rush.
    2nd UPDATE: Galactus IS in there, missed it the first time.

    And the power responsible for breaking Storm and Magneto would be the 5* version of Infinite Power, which prevents other characters' board-shaking moves from activating.

    - Powers that increase the amount of AP required to activate a power will no longer increase it beyond the maximum AP a character can have.
    Galactus or Boss Rush incoming
    I want to expand on this, assuming hinted character will be awarded in a retooled Boss Rush to run during Christmas

    I have 0 evidence to substantiate this claim other than the above note which effects ONE specific character interaction, Peggy Carter and Galactus

    I was close. I would've liked to see what they did to Boss Rush, but Galactus Hungers will do

    The difference is that Galactus event isn't horribly broken. It's also one of my favorite pve events, and seeing that it's a 3 and a 5 star Thanos, along with Double ISO, makes me very excited!

    I love the game, but I dislike how one thing is updated, and one is screwed up. Today, after the latest update, Magneto *** cannot use its red ability. Frustrating... I wonder what other not fun surprises will there be!

    It would be really fun to play Boss Rush with an ability that stops all tile conversion/destruction powers, though!

    You would need a maxed out 5 star Thanos first.

    A search for "Dark Obsession" Marvel led to this:

    http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Darkman_Vol_2

    But I know little about Marvel comics outside of the movies and TV.

    That Darkman series was amazing. So totally due for a remake or reboot. Sam Raimi and Liam Neeson aren't doing anything, are they?

    They are (at least - the one I joined 15 minutes ago is granting 2 XP per "starter" node fight) icon_e_smile.gif

    So when do we get our token of appreciation for not having access to Hulk?
