    Maybe an early tie-in for Dark Phoenix.
    Smith, talking to Jean in the trailers, might be Mastermind, manipulating her to embrace her nature.
    Or, it could be Storm. With her weather manipulation, she’s extremely powerful. She more literally holds nature in her embrace.

    I would put "tie-in" to Dark Phoenix.  The FoX-Universe is about to be Disney-snapped out of existence, and while putting some X-Characters in is always good for fans, I expect comic versions fo anyone being added vs some cinematic version.

    Edit:  Yes, the New Mutants film is actually being released next year (or at least, it's scheduled) but the other Marvel films Fox was working on were canceled last week.  So obviously Disney wants to reboot everything.

    Or they could multiverse it into canon. They don't need to completely wipe it if they don't want to. It will be interesting to see what comes of the merger.

    Personally I would love if they brought Toby and Andrew back for a live action spiderverse event.

    I‘d rather like to embrace CL10 with an updated reward table that is useful for 5+ year players... ;)

    I’m okay with how they are treating the Fox mutants.  For the most part their art has focused on comic faithful art.  I would love more mutants and prefer a comic faithful look vs making them look like fox actors

    Already in game as a Support, albeit as Chewie.

    I would have rather had Lockheed as a playable character also.

    Nature lover? Ravage 2099 with a new Hellrock storyline confirmed.

    "Paul-Phillip Ravage was the CEO of ECO, a subsidiary of Alchemax that worked to combat polluters. Ravage's life changed when he was framed for murder in response to questioning the secrets of the company and the violent, often fatal, methods it used. A fugitive armed with a blaster, a cog used as a shuriken, and a kevlar vest, Ravage was the target of both the police and Alchemax. On the lam, Ravage's companions were an orphaned boy named Dack, son of a man his company killed, and an Asian-American woman named Tiana who was originally his secretary. Ravage was targeted for elimination by Anderthorp Henton, and battled a mutroid and ECO security.[1] Alongside Dack and Tiana, he battled Alchemax troops.[2] As a fugitive, Ravage would find himself traveling from civilization to Hellrock, home of irradiated and mutated outcasts, to become the mutated hero of the Barrio — an impoverished community of superhero worshipers located on the outskirts of the city. The despotic ruler of Hellrock, Lord Dethstryk, who planned to invade the rest of the world and destroy all humans, would eventually become Ravage's nemesis. Ravage freed Tiana from Hellrock, and battled Deathstryk and the mutroids, and became contaminated by radiation from Hellrock.[3]"

    Given the lack of bug fixes or features lately, I hope the devs are working on something cool.  

    (Presumed) 4* #86 isn't getting me that excited right now.
