Wouldn't matter much to the whale community whether it was 5* Mary Jane Parker or 5* Gambit. And since that tier is the tier where the publisher and developer make their bread I'm not particularly upset about it.As to variants they don't really bother me. I like Doc Ock, don't mind seeing another one. Most of the characters with a lot of variants are generally very popular characters.
He sounds like he could be fun, so there is that. when 4*Carol was announced, there was a lot of grumbling about another Carol, but she is a fun, powerful character, so the grumbling went away. I like new characters, but as long as the characters are fun, and bring something different to the table, variants can be just fine.
