    Mockingbird. 
    Bobbi from Agents of Shield? I don't remember them calling her that but everything else fits. 
    (Also married to Hawkeye at one time but I have no idea how that would play into the game) 

    I certainly hope we get Jessica Jones for the Defenders series next month. Foul mouthed drunk with a heart stopping punch would be cool. LOL
    A new Daredevil would be good too.

    The preview is up on the Marvel site now.

    Wow, the cover they used for her. What in the world does that cover have anything to do with being a super-hero?

    May I direct you to the Hawkguy cover? XD

    Some covers show more about personality.

    Hawkguy also looks exactly like his cover, is Mockingbird gonna be wearing that outfit?

    Nick Fury, OML, Quicksilver, and SW also don't look exactly like their covers.

    I think, personally, you're getting a bit triggered over the exact nature of her outfit. I'm sure it'll be changed, though. Surely there are other people who are going to object to this, and D3 won't want that.

    edit: FWIW, if D3 WANTS to give OML a cowboy hat and trenchcoat, I am TOTALLY cool with that.

    Well, an 8 issue run doesn't, in my mind, represent what a character is all about. Hawkguy was at least based on fraction's 40 issue run. 

    Didn't know though that finding something inappropriate is now consider being triggered. I mean, this is the official site for the game and is PC central, even saying the C word for poo gets censored.

    Like I said though, I actually like the cover and went out of my way to pick up it. I just find it inappropriate is all. Take that for what you will.

    Lol, nah, I get you. Apparently it was even controversial when it came out, if I'm reading what people are saying on the main topic correctly. It'll probably change at some point.

    And to fair to fury, SW, QS, and Vision. There wasn't any covers that actually depicted those designs. And they were created before MPQ starting doing the original covers for characters.

    I love the cover, but i can't help imagining that Mockingbird is actually the alter ego of Britta from Community.

    Iron Fist was "Waves Piling On" and I'm still not sure what that one means.
    "Waves Piling On" is an anagram of "Living Weapons". 
    It's also an anagram of "No veiling Wasp", "Vowelising nap", "Waving epsilon", etc.  I'm not saying it's not cute, but it's more 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon than an actual hint.

    I thought the "Stop me if you've heard this one before" was a reference to Doc Ock going on a big monologue when he should be squashing Spider-Man to make his nefarious scheme come true.

    And I thought "Waves piling on" referred to Fist being surrounded by groups of ninjas attacking him (or surrounding him and attacking one at a time).

    But by the time a character is released, I completely forget the preview phrase.

    The clue texts are so impossible to guess these days that the only people who would have fun working them out are people who already know which characters will be released from data-mined information and working backwards to the clue.

    I like the vague clues. I would hate it if the clues got to be too easy:

    • Arachnid + Human
    • Check out this person's mighty hammer!
    • You'll find this person to be quite dazzling.
    • Private Investigator... when not drunk!
    • Don't make him angry.
    • What the Duck?!
    • To Infinity... and Beyond
    • Bring on the Thunder
    • Son of A...
    • I'm on fire.
    • Get Small
    • She's the Captain
    • The Weirdest Medicinal Expert you'll ever find
    • Spanish for "Doesn't Go"
    • Representing Harlem
    • The Lady in the Suit
    • Bowling, Anyone?
    • Fly like a bird
    • You can't see me!

    Hey, don't knock Dazzler - she used to be the only one who could consistently and relatively easily take down Juggernaut. So maybe it's a niche job, but she's not a total lightweight!

    I really hope this is the clue they use for 5* Thor someday, just to F with us all  :)
