    Why would a 5* character (which by their nature are limited releases) be designated a limited character?  

    That doesn’t make sense, I’m not even seeing where that logic leap would come from.
    I don't know.  All I asked was for confirmation.  It's not an unreasonable question.  There's no rule that says there can't be a limited character at a certain tier.  All I want is someone with the clout to say definitively, yes or no.
    Cable is not a Limited character. Taskmaster is a Limited character.

    A taskmaster crash in 2 weeks? How?
    My guess is he'll be highly available from vaults.  He also might be offered in multiple anniversary events.  I wouldn't be surprised if he was the 3 4* rewards in 1 or both alliance events.

    Thanks.

    Well for civil war my alliance splits up. So I'm sure for this new raid event somehow we will all do the same part of it lol.

    Good looking anniversary in general though.

    Why the flip is Taskmaster limited in the first place? So you can throw him behind some special vault or H4H offer to make some extra bucks off the folks who want an edge? I've covered 5-stars quicker than the time it took me to FINALLY finish Dino & Howard, not looking forward to having chase another limited 4-star. And this one's actually worth chasing. Can only pray to the MPQ gods that he won't get the Devil Dino treatment, and only be available ONE TIME during the entire year. Not a fan of the 1 cover per event run format that Howard has either, but at least you can count on that a few times per year.  Way to kill my anniversary excitement. Will just take my double Iso-8 I suppose.

    So no Anniversary Vault with Dino this year?
    What? Why wouldn't he be in the Anniversary vault? Brigby didn't post all of the info but a lot of events reward tokens to the Anniversary vault.

    Double ISO and a new alliance event are nice, but I'm hoping a bit more (unannounced stuff) gets thrown our way. 5 years seems special enough to party harder than the same thing we've had in past anniversaries.

    New characters don't make an anniversary special. Two new characters show up every month. Making a highly-requested one with an awesome power set limited actually makes this part of it disappointing.

    Happy 5th Anniversary Honey! (You bought your wife a fine piece of jewelry.)
    Happy 5th Anniversary Babe! (She got you a limited edition sock) - you’ll get the other sock sometime next year...hopefully.

    Not a fan of another 5* so soon, I'll have no CP to chase it after using it all getting Kitty. Also, another limited character is pointless. I still haven't finished Dino! 

    The alliance event looks potentially interesting though.

    Did I read right? TWO weeks of double iso events?  This includes story events too, right?

    Looks like you made great effort, nice!

    Few questions:
    - are the limited DDQ crashes with FF tokens additional or instead of the normal LT?
    - is Cable “release” really starting on monday? Will he get a release vault and in what event can we earn tokens for it?
    - all events have double iso and LRs also mention double... soooo, quadruple iso? Pushing it, i know, and i just reached post-iso couple weeks ago, but just curious...

    For a minute there, i thought this was another Infinity War tie in.  At least the 4* from that event wasnt limited...

    Taskmaster is by far my favorite character and I am super sad that they are limiting him.

    Taskmaster is limited
    Fan favorites store has OML
    I hope this raid is fun because this anniversary seems pretty lame

    I would have loved to have had a crack at that anniversary store with Strange and OML in but used up all my CP trying to get OML from the previous store with no results. Not falling for that one again.

    XFW, IW Spider-Man, and MEH Hulk as 4* Fan Favorites?....I don't think so

    Features Peggy Carter, Emma Frost, and Wasp (Janet Van Dyne)

    *Flips table*

    My Emma is 2 covers shy of going to lvl 209. I will get one from progression in the upcoming story event and I'm not sure where the 2nd is coming from. 

    Just arrrrgh.

    1) I'll see if I can find that event on a test build. My guess is that it replaces the normal Legendary Token, but I'll try and check that for you.
    2) I added it to the Monday section, since that's likely when we'll reveal full details about Cable, per the usual schedule. He will likely be available in game starting the following Thursday. Having said that though, I can understand the confusion, so I'll list it under Thursday instead.
    3) All Anniversary Season events have double iso-8, but lightning rounds aren't part of seasons, so I added that line just to clarify that it does contain double iso-8 as well.
