    Stay sharp-witted...  :open_mouth: . I only know of one character that could fit! 5* Psylocke follows up Fishbowl-Man! She literally makes her brain power sharp!

    I’m not going to lie; I wish a clue like this came out pre-Dazzler just to see who had the best one ;)

    Sharp witted, huh?

    Why do you think we should trust anything related to Mysterio?

    Who's got a...sharper...mind than Mr. Pointy Head himself?

    It sounds like those one clear node events like 12 days of Christmas.

    Yikes, Marvel have done it again, second year in a row like they did with the Infinity War stuff!

    Stealth Suit Spidey costume eh, wonder who that will be for? I supposes Infinity War Spidey is probably favourite as he will have some overlap with FFH.

    If you watch the loading screen it seems like the Stealth Suit is for 3 Spidey.

    Yeah, just seen that, looks like 3* Spidey it is.

    Is it wrong that Mysterio's animation is just sort of cracking me up? I hope they made it that bad on purpose in celebration of how hilariously sad he is!

    (Cue army of Mysterio lovers throwing fish bowls at me)

    I love Mysterio specifically because he is such a sad weird character lol

    Holiday week in the United States with the Fourth of July. Similar to how they've treated other events around the holidays. They know they're going to have a dip in players and adjust expectations/commitments accordingly for that.

    Off-topic,  but any thoughts on why the Battle Lines Nick Fury is holding a cup of espresso while also wielding his gun...? By the look on his face he might be about to shoot the barista for producing a poorly executed americano, which seems really mean.

    The MPQ developers' major new FFH tie ins:

    1.  We have a cool new boss event centered around FFH.
    2.  We have a cool new 4* Mysterio character.

    Assuming they generate content to drive interest and engagement (and eventually spending) - and they do - then making the boss event separate from the new release maximizes players' interest as you will get a lot of players who want to play a new PVE (boss) and a lot of players who want covers for the new 4.

    Will there be less people playing?  Maybe.  Surely there will be a lot of people with some days off, which in general seems to me means you might have some more time to play than usual.
