A new character''s release during Xmas celebration.....GUYS You hate holidays for sure!

A
 limited character, so will not be important to chase after. And the featured PvE is seven days, so plenty of time to get the progression covers. Last year the Christmas release was America Chavez, this is definitely a step up if you want to take it easy over the holidays.

Doc Ock was in between Kitty and Loki so definitely didn't "count" in the rotation. I think you are right, JHawkInc.

Even with that they're still giving us an extra "Classic."  Thor -> Archangel -> Star Lord.  Then Cable, but that's on the January thread.  Usually it's two "Classic," then all three "Latest."

I certainly don't object - it's nice to get more of the "Classic" 5*s.  Though this does mean that we'll probably see Cable -> Kitty -> Kingpin, and no last go-around for Loki.  It will be after I break my hoard, and I'll be very surprised if I don't have at least 5 or 6 Fisk, but people are going to complain...

Thor
 was also a break from the regular rotation, Archangel and Star-Lord are part of it.

So, how come the next crash is iceman again? Also, how come his H4H cover is blue again?! I already have 5 blue for him, so really frustrating. I mean, if you're gonna have iceman twice in 3 weeks for the crash, can you at least have his H4H cover be different?

12 Days of Marvel - 12 Day Duration (12/21/18)
Featured Families:
Day 1: Avengers
Day 2: X-Men
Day 3: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Day 4: Guardians of the Galaxy
Day 5: Inhumans
Day 6: Defenders
Day 7: Dark Avengers
Day 8: Sinister Six
Day 9: Champions
Day 10: Spider-Man Family
Day 11: Super Villains
Day 12: Super Heroes

So, I've done Day's 1-6 using thematically appropriate teams (my highest DA is 3* Daken, so I may have my work cut out for me today).  Is there a master list of character affiliations somewhere?  I thought there was but I didn't find it on a quick search.   ...and of course, the one I'm least certain of is the "Champions", which is neigh-impossible to find, as there's a prominent game mechanic of the same name.  So far, Kamala Khan and Nova are the only two I found.

It's the 2016 lineup of the Champions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champions_(2016_team)

Miles Morales and Amadeus Cho definitely should have the affiliation. Viv Vision and teen Cyclops are not in the game yet. Gwenpool and Riri Williams were apparently members too but I am unsure if that is the case in the game.

Miles and Cho have the affiliation, Gweenpool and Riri do not.

My phone was out of battery when I posted that so I couldn't check myself. Thanks for the clarification.

Since in seven day events like Prodigal Sun we get double rewards from progression, why don't we get double rewards from placement? We are only getting half the covers and placement rewards we would get in a regular 2 event week.

LTs for t5 and higher are doubled.

Granted, this only affects about 200 people across all slices, but still.

In a way, but those covers are focused more on those particular characters. So we get 2x Peter Porker (ok so he doesn't make for a great point) and twice the punisher 3* covers. But yeah give us double placement rewards too sounds good
