What new limited-availability character would you like to see?

Dormammu

So far we have Howard the Duck, Devil Dinosaur, Bagman, and Yelena who are not available in tokens. Certainly there's room for more in our collections!

Negasonic Teenage Warhead...because a new Deadpool PVE based on the movie could be absolutely hilarious.

SpringSoldier

Lockjaw; Negasonic would be cool, but I think she's property of Sony, like the rest of the mutants (sigh!).

I think you mean Fox, Sony licences Spider-Man. But they don't 'own' the mutants, Marvel does. Fox licensed the rights to exclusively use mutants in television and movies. Marvel can otherwise do whatever they want with their characters. (Deadpool is in MPQ, Marvel could approve Negasonic to be here too.)

While they could add these characters it's unlikely they would make a Negasonic themed after the Deadpool movie.  Though with first picture of Cable from Deapool 2 we can hope they will change their tune on this before Deadpool 2 (again still not likely).

Throg. I just think it would be amusing.

Dormammu

I saw those pics of Cable yesterday, they look great! Love the cybernetics in his neck.

You can't see in the pictures, but hopefully he has huge feet and super-skinny ankles just like Rob drew him.

If this actually happens, I would love to help write the dialogue for the event. Deadpool is my favorite Marvel character!

I believe the licensing also applies to toys and other "not comics" things to do with mutants and Fantastic Four. Therefore, Demiurge would need to pay Fox for the rights to present them in game. It's likely they have some kind of discount with Marvel (and Disney), or some other reason that gives them incentive to use the Disney licensed characters rather than Fox licensed characters.

It only applies if the likeness of the toy (or video game character in the case of MPQ) is based on the movie version that Fox owns the licensing rights too. This is why MPQ has all the Marvel movie likenesses (Civil War Cap & Iron Man, Guardians, etc) but no version of Wolverine that looks like Hugh Jackman, or a Mystique that looks like Jennifer Lawrence.

Why would Dazzler or Puck be limited availability? Bother were regular mainstream heroes.

Optimus Prime is probably not an option for MPQ, but would have been a good poll option since Marvel did make Transformers comics for most of the 80s.

Dormammu

Dazzler's sort of an inside joke on these forums.

Puck is just funny.

Interestingly enough Marvel actually eventually put the movie version of Negasonic Teenage Warhead into the comics

Hyposphere6234

Beavis & Butthead.

Make their powers similar to 5* Dr. Octopus but more ridiculous and totally useless, if anything make the powers even more detrimental with every step. But when a power ultimately does fire off it rewards you with a free Whale\Cosmic Wrath pay-off.

You have more power than you think, @Brigby
Let someone know about this. (Although, I don't think she should be limited-availability.)

DeNappa

I voted Spider-Ham, but if we could do non-Marvel characters I'd nominate Space Ghost (Coast to Coast version)

@StreetPreacher
As much as I'd love to, I'm no Demiurge writer. They're the pros, but we'll see. I think I might just stick to writing the occasional FAQ page in the voice of Deadpool: What are Deadpool Points? 

Dormammu

As much as I love this game, the talking heads in PvE are not its strength. I'm guessing Brigby can't do any worse.

However, I will say the Deadpool vs MPQ event is one of the tolerable ones. It's clever in spots.

Scouseroy

The Golden Oldie aka the Astonishing Aunt May or if I have to be a bit sensible Fin Fang Foom

Crowl

I voted other, I'd rather they rework any of the existing ones that need it and put them into the regular token pools rather than adding more characters we cannot regularly collect.

D4Ni13

I think The Collector would be more appropiate for anniversary and in the theme with what is going on in the MCU right now. 

He could also have a power influenced by special points (like Deadpool) counting the heroes you've played with in a certain amount of time ("collected").
