    Annie get your gun? Annie Oakley was a sharpshooter, sharpshooters hit targets they can see from far away, see far literally means television. Who's obsessed with television & would follow dazzler across dimensions?

    Mojo confirmed.
    ... or her love interest Longshot, that you already reference with long and shooting.

    It would be an actual long shot to have Longshot in the game as a character of course.

    Got to be 4* Cable or 5* Deadpool from Deadpool 2 scene where the song "Tomorrow" (Annie reference)  was played when Deadpool sacrificed himself and blocked the round by Cable aimed at Collins.

    They just released 5* Shadowcat, so this upcoming one is unlikely to be a 5*. They could feasibly release the next 5* on 19 Oct; we've already had instances of that with Gambit being released four weeks after whoever was before him (was it Daredevil?) and Okoye being released four weeks after BeardCap

    Other way around. Gambit was released six weeks after Daredevil, then four weeks later GladiaThor was released.

    Annie Oakely was a famous sharpshooter. Daredevil Season 3 - which starts October 19th - features Bullseye. Hmmmmmm....

    If Taskmaster is the new character then that's awesome, because we need more villains in the game.

    The release notes mentioned anniversary events, so at least we know the Anniversary is starting before the next update.

    "Anything you can do, I can do better!" and a gun-toting lady like Annie... I call DOMINO.

    Luck is definitely a superpower. "Lucky me."

    So, Annie is a reference to the anniversary.  The clue is "get your gun".
    Obviously it's a reference to Elmer Fudd, hunting wabbits.  If it wasn't that Bugs Bunny was in the DC Universe, I'd suspect him, so instead it's White Rabbit.
    My sensible guess is Cable.

    I think it's meant to cover up the white space found on the top and bottom of bigger phone model. I saw it as well.

    The game displays in a fixed aspect ratio.  If your phone/tablet doesn't match that aspect ratio (or doesn't match it after you take Android's soft buttons into account), it fills the extra space with something.  Previously this has been either solid black or some gradients.  Now it looks like a black-to-blue gradient with some black lines running in the same direction as the gradient.

    Annie Oakley is a legitimate Marvel character. Hints don't always have to be too hard...

    I expect a lot of the D3 Go! staff are at NYCC, but is someone able to make a post about R163 updates since that is likely to come out on Monday?
