Is the purpose of the new A.I.M. mini-event to help us the players be introduced to the new goon character types or is it really to help THEM get used to being chomped by my Dinosaur? At this point, it’s too close to call....
I was playing the 3-star Magneto required event with Thorkoye as the other two team members. I get 10 blue AP, and try to activate Magneto's blue to take out the Thug who has a 12K pistol shot ready to go off. A "Not Enough Tiles" message shows up, and after checking the board out I see that Thor has completely eliminated all of the red tiles.
My question - Since Magneto can control metal, can he use his powers to control Thor's Hammer and bop him upside the head a few times?

Well to be fair: in the comics or movies, Mags would simply stop the bullets in mid-air or just pull all the guns from the maggia's hands.

Huh. I'm guessing Magneto is, in general, not worthy, but would his mutant power actually be considered him lifting the hammer?
Actually, is Mjolnir even made of magnetic metals? Something like that could make for a really nasty surprise for Mags at some point.
Mjolnir (in the comic books) is made of Uru which is capable of being affected by magnetism. Magneto has proved able to deflect Mjolnir when thrown at him. However the main characteristic of Uru is its ability to store and be enhanced by enchantments - so because of the magical enhancements Mjolnir possesses, Magneto is not able to break apart the hammer or otherwise influence its form under normal circumstances.
And whilst we are here - this is my understanding of Mags and the other super metals:
Adamantium - Mags can twist it like a pretzel baby!
Vibranium - Vibranium is, in its pure form and not an alloy, immune to Magneto's powers, this is both Wakandan and Antarctica versions.
Carbonandium - As this is just the Soviet version of Adamantium (not as indestructable but more maleable) then it likely shares many features of Adamantium, including a weakness to Mags powers. I can't recall if the two have ever have a showdown but Mags should, as long as he keeps his distance, be able to swat Omega Red like a fly.
2099's Harbinger of Heroes wasn't triggering on blue matches in a couple of the Featured nodes in Meet R&G. I went through all kinds of weird theories about what the connection might be before I re-read the description and was reminded that it only triggers when a Hero makes those matches, which Super Skrull and Onslaught are not. Fortunately I looked it up before making a bug report
So I collected my Howard cover from Webbed Wonder adding it to the save pile and I noticed that I have 14 saved Howard covers! Considering he is limited, I have no idea where they all came from - does Webbed Wonder rotate that often?!?!? I guess I might have to seriously consider champing him now...

Webbed wonder is run pretty frequently and guarantees a cover for him, so yeah.

If we can please swap him out for Taskmaster, he can replicate the Quack-Fu, that would be nice!

To be specific, WW has run a bit more frequently than every 2 months over the past 6 months. As are all events, mostly, except for bosses and Fight for Wakanda, and of course the mothballed events.
So 14 saved covers means approx 26-27 months of saving Howards. (barring drawing saved covers from Anniversary vaults, earning them in events at Anniversary....maybe more like 18 months)
Both my Dino and Howard are at 292. I have never had a cover expire on the vine when that was a thing, was lucky in RNG color order, and never sold any. Obviously, aside from Anniversary, they are not earned the same way. This post really has no point except Coincidences are fun!
Weren't Howard covers also made available during one of the Anniversaries for HP in a vault? Maybe it was Dino. I remember getting a lot of covers for a Limited character one Anniversary because a vault was just loaded with them.

The last Anniversary, at least (and possibly the one before that) became all about Limited characters. I suppose because there are now 4 of them. So yeah, if you used HP/tokens in there you could certainly have pulled some Howards. As well as earning one if you played enough of his PVP (which I assume was run last Anniversary). (Remember when we used to have Duck Season?)

Followed it up yesterday with five straight 1* Spidey blues. So odd.
