    So it sounds like a boss event is after Webbed Wonder. If the 4* rewarded is Vulture or Teen Jean then that would be amazing.
    It needs to be Jean, she's the only one capable of beating Apocalypse in movie canon.

    Magneto killed him in the comics, though.

    Five star gambit? You gotta be kidding me. You have murdered the five star division. The first fives were Phoenix and Surfer... now you have total losers as five stars like every Avenger not named Hulk, and you add Gambit? Yeah, when I think Gambit, I think oh yeah that dude is as strong as Phoenix. For sure.

    I've been coming to this site for years and this finally made me post. Because it's enraging.
    Yawn.

    Questions for @Brigby

    1. 5* Gambit Rajin' Cajun (Purple): if the enemy team has no special tiles, will he create countdown out of basic tiles?

    A dev on Discord said that the Purple prioritizes specials, then hits basic.

    Not sure about the other question.

    Sounds like someone has never heard of New Sun. You know, the version of Gambit with his powers fully realized that KILLED the Phoenix.

    Even if star-level had anything to do with power level (it doesn't, never has, it's always been a stupid complaint), you picked a really bad 5* to complain about.

    Dude, I'm so looking forward to 5* Gambit. Hopefully my hoard will be ready while he's still in Latest.

    That black passive looks amaze-balls. Everyone's always wanted an AP generating goon on their team. Now Gambit gets 3 red and 3 purple every turn to fuels his own powers? That's crazy! Teams well with charged tile makers. BB/SS/Gambit new dominating 5* team?

    EDIT: He'd also be great with everyone's favorite, Thanos/BP. Just can't fire Thanos' purple, which isn't that useful anyways.
    Same here.  I'm thinking Hawkeye and Coulson would be fun too

    Yay for double iso!!!!

    Kinda disappointed that classic gambit isn't the 3 star...I don't even know what modern gambit looks like lol.
    There's a picture of him in the article. That's the modern version. Basically he has a newer coat and no band over his head :smile:

    Good. I was hoping for a Apocalypse boss back when I the movie came out. Guessing the side-missions will have lots of Daken, Mystique, Magneto, and... uh, Daken?
    Sad to see lazy 3/5, but at least 5 looks noticably stronger.
    Danger Room Versus? How is it different from Children of the Atom?
    Let's be Frank!? If you're doing 4* Versus, why not an X-men one? It's been so long, pretty sure players will forgive you for near-complete X-Men saturation.
    Daken, Mystique, Magneto and Juggernaut I would guess.

    Thanks, I missed it cause of having to scroll thru the photos manually. 

    Pretty lame modern costume, they could have gone with plenty of his better reworks over the years. His X-Treme X-Men uniform was pretty cool ircc. Edit: that was pretty similar to the modern one. 

    Need to find the image, but one of thing of is a toned down version of his classic costume. Purple chest, but all black pants with black boots.

    I guess his X-treme custom was too similar with the classic and they wanted a bigger difference (see Star-Lord 5* and 3*).

    Very exciting news! And I'm glad Gambit will be a 3* too, you know, someone that have a chance to max cover in a few months rather than years (5*)  ;)

    Y'know, it would have been quite fun if they had swapped over some of the character covers for the Apocalypse event with Age of Apocalypse ones, like they did with the Women of Power and Monster ones.

    I would guess 10/12 or 10/19.  I would like it to be 10/12 or 10/26 personally, we'll see.

    I would guess the next 4* release after the boss event, probably during a rerun in mid October.

    Well first off * level has to do with rarity not power level.  Also if you read his first solo book you would know that gambit is in the same kind of power level as Phoenix and actually made a deal with Mr. Sinister to basically dial down his powers because they were so strong.
