    5* Doctor Octopus Featured for Sinister 600. So, not a boss event. And he’s interrupting the LLLCC schedule I believe? Have to wonder if Loki follows, then a Classic, then back to Latest 3, or Loki is followed by 2 Classic, or if cats and dogs are just living together now.
    The Holiday Celebration thread describes Sinister 600 as an alliance story event.  So maybe it'll be like Places of Power but with a bit more structure and narrative?
    First part yes, second part we can only hope...

    Just expect if they run the Places of Power again, or a re skin, for the rewards to be cut big time. I would not expect them to give out as much as they did for the anniversary events.

    Well, there's a screenshot of Spider-Ham speaking.  That already looks like more narrative than Places of Power.

    They seem to be doing the same thing they did for the MCU anniversary, they had a special cycle of Essentials then too.

    Only champ on there i have is Yondu, but given the iso i could do Venom, Nova, or Spider-Woman who are all at 209 waiting...

    I may champ Nova regardless though, i have 10 covers saved for him, he's probably about due.

    Nova is a lot of fun. I often pull him out even when not boosted.

    Definately do Nova or Venom. Same exact active colors. Both are great but I prefer Nova.

    Agent Venom is very good at higher levels, he gets insane at higher levels. But with saved covers there is no need to champ him immediately, stack the covers until you can get him to a fun level. :)

    Likewise I can champ A Venom, Yondu or Spider-Woman but the only one I want to champ is Nova who is 2 covers short.

    Hmm...so thinking about this more and as Domino is the required 4, I'm thinking I'll need a decent black user as I only have her at 0/0/2 and so all that potential black is useless without someone to do something with it and my Domino can't do anything. Might as well make use of somebody boosted. I see Agent Venom is a popular choice here but I just really don't care for the character. Yondu? Otherwise I guess I'm looking at 3* Luke. Can anyone sell me on Agent Venom?

    Just fire the cheapest massive nuke in the game once... Nothing more to say about it really....

    a boosted 3* Iron Fist isn't necessarily burning that black, but sitting on it all makes his purple into a real winner

    Cheap yet pretty powerful black plus his yellow can make your team go invisible for four turns. Pair Domino and Cloak and Dagger with Agent Venom. The first two produce blacks for him plus you could flip C/D to fuel his yellow. Not to mention C/D will be spitting out attack tiles. You could also go with 3* Fist to fuel blacks for AV.

    I went with Kid Nova, and got a pair of LTs for my trouble from the 10 saved covers. Jury is out, he definitely didn't help me a ton on that Deadly sub in Sinister 600 lol.

    Let us know what you think! I just champed Domino and she pairs beautifully while both are boosted. I’m using 5* Thor (level 255) and it’s brutal. Fuels Venom yellow and Domino red/green. Cascades for days drops more black than Flash knows what to do with.  Super fun!

    I think Nova is very underrated. Used mine to beat the solo wave nodes on deadly yesterday. Put some strikes out with black or yellow and then red allows you to stack more AP while the opponent is airborne. Works essentially like a stun that does big damage for the cheap cost.
