    Two more Versus events at least, and a new character release... Right?

    Guessing there will be 4 weeks total as that would take us through the now presumed 4* Namor.
    Even post celebration, it would be nice to get a 4* Human Torch since he's the only member of the Fantastic 4 without a 4* version.

    So we can pretty much assume Namor is the 4* now, right? Does anyone know who the 4* will be required for the shield training?

    @Brigby any clue on when that news will be released? I’m hoarding some ISO in anticipation to level characters to 209 that could be used elsewhere...

    Banner is in there. I think there could be some surprise rework, if not...

    I'd hope if banner were getting reworked, then they would let us know, THEN give an opportunity to pull him.  If he's in a store, people pass because he's trash, then they rework him, that would suck.

    I doubt this will be the case, but it should be Reed, Sue, and Ben, as a way to keep things as F4 as possible.
    Two weeks for them to see this and make it happen.

    Banner hasn’t been in a new release store since Oct ‘17 with Thor.  I think it’s just his turn....don’t hold your breath on another 5* rework this soon.

    There are some details on the upcoming characters in this video just released by Marvel:


    It shows some very short clips of Namor, and mentions Victorious as an upcoming character that should synergise with Doom.

    Victorious is a Support.  The video says she helps Doom.

    Fingers crossed for a Banner re-work when Endgame hits theaters.

    A spear/fork user? I seen green, yellow and black. Charging tiles? Tiles destruction?

    That's Victorious, champion of Latveria, and odds are she's Doom's support.

    After watching the MPQ video, it does sound like she is a Support.

    Have you seen any supports so far that add new art/animations to the actual game play though?  I've only ever seen supports add the occasional banner.
    I guess it is possible that they're revamping supports.  But a new character seems more likely.

    I don't think that image is new art or animation or even anything to do with actual game play. I think it's the Support art thrown on an MPQ background for promotional purposes. In the actual game I don't expect it to be any different than Wong or Sharon Carter.

    While I agree Victorious may only be a support, check out MPQ's Fantastic Four variant cover coming in March which I hope to get https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/fantastic-four-world-s-greatest-week-reveals-four-fantastic-variant-covers

    In the Future Fight one, Reed looks suspiciously like he was modeled on a picture of Riker from ST:TNG.
