    I read the article on Marvel.com and he sounds like a good 5*. Can't wait.

    So many green users. There are 5 other colors, you know!

    Holding judgement on this one until I see the length of stun and damage numbers.

    Same; i'm trying my best to get caught up on roster slots to the release schedule. the end is in sight, but the goal keeps moving further out! With this new ghost rider, I need to come up with 19 more slots to have every non-1* on roster

    @Brigby: When you have a moment, ask the developers if the Ghost Rider Legendary store includes two other 5*s, and if so, who they are?

    I’m excited there’s no 3* coming with him. I seriously need an Iso break and still need to champ Angel!


    Damn. I was hoping to see 3* Ghostrider on a flaming horse!

    Yes, Ghost Rider's Legendary store will contain 2 other 5-Star characters. I'm crafting a post that includes a couple more details about Galactus Hungers, and the pertinent stores.

    Anyone else getting a link to a general news site and not the link to the interview and page itself?

    Looks like ichigo(bleach) in his hollow form.

    Black could actually be less powerful than Penance Stare, depending on the circumstances. The other powers sound neat though.

    Huh. How about that.

    I was sure they'd go back to the "old" 5/4/4 schedule, give us another 4, and save the 5 for a Black Panther movie tie-in.

    This is way better, to be honest. I'm down for a Ghost Rider 5*.

    Seems like a random choice for a 5*, but I'm not complaining. That art is sick.

    And yet, if you get a massive black cascade, the enemy can make one match and you can nuke whoever made it on turn two. So yes, depending on the circumstances. I think I like the predictable amount of damage this version of vengence can do, while Penance remains a great emergency team up for when things have gone horribly wrong. It just sucks that Penance is designed for you to be having a bad, health-eating match for it to really do anything. I guess it’s a 4* counter to Gambolt though, with Cloak and Dagger to get you enough black AP before Gambit can Aces and Eights your whole team down.

    It makes a lot more sense for them to make a 4* BP since there isn't one in that tier than a second 5* BP or some less important character from the movie.

    I was surprised to see them go with GR particularly Robbie Reyes, especially when there's a number of MCU Avengers that still haven't gotten 5* treatment.  But they're likely saving those for later tie-ins.

    Wow, Ghost Rider's design is really cool. He looks like a lot of fun, and his AP generation will help his already cheap moves. It's just too bad that, since Ghostie relies heavily on special tiles, he'll be completely irrelevant out of the gate thanks to Gambit. I appreciate the thought behind most of these new 5*s, but Gambit is a jerk and ruins all their fun. Good thing I have him champed! See the video below for an example (Gambit is Indy, the swordsman is...well, everyone else).

    It depends on the length of stun of GR's red. If it's a 3+ turn stun, I think he's a good counter to Gambit, particularly if paired with <50% health Thor. That red is easy to come by and Gambit can be stun-locked.

    But if it's at most a 1- or 2-turn stun it's going to be disappointing. The 5* tier desperately needs a cheap stun a la G4mora or Bobby.
