    "Don't drink the punch"

    Well that narrows it down. Only a couple hundred other characters left to guess.

    Sounds like a juggernaut variant

    .... Zealot? Mister Punch? Someone involving poison? I can't imagine another Venom variant. Toxin? Those all seem extremely unlikely. Could just be a character known for their punching?

    Drinking often involves water, Punching is often done by people with bad tempers. 5star Namor confirmed.

    "Don't drink the punch." Sounds like someone disapproves of all this loud noise and merriment the kids these days are having with their boozy swill.

    6* Aunt May confirmed.

    The Runaways' parents are part of a cult so I'm guessing another one from their group.

    And considering Karolina Dean is the only one who's in the cult, I would guess a 4* Karolina Dean (Lucy in the Sky) is in the works.

    "Don't drink the punch" - Hydro-Man, obviously.

    Marine Boy, less obviously.

    It could be a typo, and should be "Don't pinch the drunk",   Jessica Jones, finally?

    "Don't drink the punch" 

    I'm guessing someone that drinks or drank a potion and got his powers that way, and those powers come with secondary effects also (thus the warning). 

    The one that immediately comes to mind is Kraven the Hunter, but that would be a dream come true. After getting Rogue & other X-Men, I started to believe in "miracles" again. Could this be Kraven ? Or what other marvel heroes got their powers after drinking something ?

    I'm betting this is a "punch" superhero, and "don't drink the punch" is more about making it a reference to stereotypical Christmas parties than anything else.

    But I can't think of any iconic Marvel "punches", either. We've got Iron Fist, we've got Kamala Khan, and you can have a big punch in Marvel from virtually any hero with super strength (from Spidey to Hulk), and even some without (like an Iron Man rocket-propelled punch).

    Shang Chi is too versatile for a punch pun. Crusher Creel? For a boxing pun since he fought Jack Murdock in the MCU? Not sure why you'd do an MCU version of him, though.

    Yes please.  He may be a little weird in hindsight, but as a kid, he was a pretty good enemy for Spiderman. This game needs more villains!

    She has a good punch.

    Perhaps the "punch" is an alternate name for another liquid, such as adhesive X.  And the warning against drinking it is more about leaving it alone altogether, so you don't get it all over your face......

    Baron Zemo.

    This is probably right. She even punches portals.

    Just leaked out of d3 office...

    5* Kool-Aid Man

    Red/Blue/Purple

    Pack a Punch - 6 AP (Red)

    Thrawrt those pesky robbers!! Kool Aid Man travels back in time to deliver a punch to the enemy. Deals 8000 damage and creates a 4-turn countdown tile. While this tile is on the board, all tiles will have a 60% chance of being red, blue or purple.

    Got the Kool-Aid Blues? - 8 AP (Blue)

    Are you down from not having any Kool-Aid? Kool-Aid Man is here to the rescue!! Deals 300 damage for each tile on the board in the enemy’s strongest color, then turns those tiles into Red, Blue or Purple Tiles

    OH YEAAHH!!! - 10 AP (Purple)

    Kool-Aid Man is here to quench your thirst!! Bursts through the poorly built brick wall the enemy has built, destroying a 4 x 4 block of tiles in the middle of the board, then destroys 8 random tiles, dealing 4000 damage. Block of tiles do not gain AP but 9 random tiles gain AP for Kool-Aid Man.

    (PASSIVE) If any tiles destroyed are red, blue or purple, gives allies burst of 800 health for each random tile destroyed.
    I’d whale for this 5*, well done.
