    I can't stop my brain from trying to figure out exactly how Daredevil's enhanced senses are negating the effects of Bullseye's adamantium bones.

    He hits Bullseye in the parts that aren't laced with adamantium?

    Well, part of it is also wondering how Bullseye's adamantium bones are protecting the rest of his team as well.

    This one's from a few days ago, but I kept forgetting to post it: I used 2099's stun on Hulkbuster, and even tho it works in game, I really can't see any outcome from that other than Miguel breaking some teeth.

    Applies to when he's chomping Mindless Ones, too. And I kind of wonder where he's finding people for all these uprisings on planets inhabited only by Symbiotes and Mindless Ones ;)
    Also, I was re-reading some old X-Men, and realized that we need Ka-Zar to go with Sentry and AoA Cyke for maximum hair bro magnificence.

    I think my biggest problem right now with the 4/5/4/5 release schedule is how long it's keeping Northstar regularly Featured.

    But when He and Karolina revolve out we'll have Karnak for ages (and unfortunately Maria).  Here's hoping Maddrox*  is someone worth chasing.
    *Fingers crossed

    More than anything, it's just that I hate his art. That obnoxious smirk is just begging for a fist right in the middle of it. I've actually found him fairly helpful on his Essential nodes, providing a blue outlet and yellow battery for Thorkoye.

    Fair point, I'm still in four star land so in the essential modes usually play Chavez/Strange for goons or Chavez/Karnak for tile movers.  Generally don't want to spend AP but if I did Strange/Karnak have two of the best blues going, even if blue is Northstar's best power.

    It is quite amusing to play Kitty and Prof-X against Spiderman 2099 with Kitty's Practiced Offence active: Spidey - Harbinger, Uprising... Kitty - Three attack tiles... Rinse and repeat

    I find the opposite with Hill, actually. She doesn't add a huge amount to my usual teams, but I love her art. Particularly in her "ready" position, when she's at the front, in profile, she looks super gay, which I am totally a fan of :)

    I was just looking at all my 5*s.

    I have 63 Black covers.
    I have 62 Yellow covers.
    I have 62 Red covers.
    I have 61 Green covers.
    I have 55 Blue covers.
    I have 48 Purple covers.

    What's up, Purple?

    The House of X PvP highlights how much of a travesty it is that the highest Magneto we have is only 3* Mags. For such an important player in the Marvel universe to not even have a 4* variant, IMHO, is a huge miss.

    Most of the characters I know of that fly in comics are unable to go airborne.

    *scratches head*

    I mean I know it’s tough to balance powers, but Nova? Storm? Rogue, Marvel, even Magneto. These people are almost always flying during battle.

    People are playing surprisingly hard for some 5*Wasp shards..
    Maybe they realize she's not completely Hope-less. (/rimshot)

    Don't worry, I'll escort myself out...

    Did Miguel 2099 Spider-man have a weird/limited release cycle? I was looking at my 4* roster, and I have at least nine covers for every non-limited 4* older than Super Skrull, but I only have four for Miguel (and a sort of odd 0/3/1 coverage, at that).

    No....He had 5 times as an essential 4.  One of them was during a boss event, so you would have gotten one cover for him in personal progression if you played it.  The event was Sinister 6.

    5 appearances has been about average lately, maybe someone will get to 6 with the 4/5 release pattern (and the double 5s recently).   If you had played to progression in all his events at SCL7, you'd have at least 5 covers.  He did not run under the new rewards, so if you did not get any placement covers and you didn't get him from any pulls (or PVP) or shard him, then that would be how many you'd have.  Maybe you missed an event somewhere.

    I think the timing of the events must've coincided with public holidays or something. I recall having a bit more difficulty playing the events that I ended up getting less covers than usual for him too initially.
    Launch was 10/10, Essential 10/13

    Next placement was 10/27, Sinister 6 was 10/31

    11/14 Infinite Pursuit placement, 11/17 progression

    12/5 Simulator placement, 12/8 progression

    1/6 Strange Sights placement,  1/9 progression

    No holidays except Halloween, but November/December can be busy times for people.

    Just had an interesting realization yesterday. 

    When I started playing a little over 4 years ago, the 5* tier was the smallest one in the game (7 at that time), and the 3* tier the largest. 

    Soon the 5* tier will be the second largest and the 4* tier is now twice as large as the 3* tier. The 5* tier would already be the second largest if they hadn't added 7 more 3*s after I started playing.

    Cause the Gamependium is down for a little bit, I made and excel sheet to track my roster. Put there some obvious thing that many places lack: feeders but not the way you think. In any places you can find info that champion X is a champion Y feeder (e.x. Moonstone is Hulk feeder). I did the opposite: I wrote down by whom champion is fed. For example: I did not wrote 2* Moonstone feeds 3* Hulk but the opposite, 3* Hulk is fed by 2* Moonstone. So the info is in 3* Hulk.

    Looking at the list, I found some unique infos:

    The fastest/easiest 4* to cover is X-23 as 2* Daken feeds 3* Daken and he is feeder of X-23 and 2* Ares feeds 3* Ragnarok and he is sub-feeder of her. So max champing both gives you 1 cover and 1100 shards.

    Second to that is Wolverine as 2* feeds 3* and 3* feeds 4* plus Collossus is his sub-feeder. Netto same value that 1st place, but one less 2* feeder makes it slower.

    Third is Electra as she is only one with two 3* feeders, Elektra and Daredevil. Although the netto this two gives more than 3* Collossus and Wolverine, but this lacks the 2* feeder element of speeding it up.

    Fourth is Jean Grey with 3* Beast being her feeder and Angel being her sub-feeder and tar Lord with 3* Star Lord feeder and 3* Gamora Sub-feeder.

    On fifth place we have a tie for the rest 4* who are fed by 3* fed by 2*, so it is Professor X, Captain Marvel, Kate Bishop, Totally Awesome Hulk, the Thing, Valkyrie, Kingpin, Nick Fury, Red Hulk, Thor (Jane Foster) and Winter Soldier. I put them below the previous one because of the fact that we can get 3* shards from every token that features 2* so on average, chasing Beast and Angel/Starl Lord and Gamora will get you faster the shard for Jean than chasing any two from this list.
