    Based on a quick Google search, Taxman was a villain for Night Raven (albeit briefly), whose identity is unknown, which means it isn’t seen, which is another way of saying transparent. Night Raven confirmed?

    Night Raven which reminds me of  Nighthawk... Squadron Supreme confirmed... Or Darkwing Duck, cause Marvel is Disney and who doesn't like the terror that flaps in the night?

    If we are sticking with the Taxman/Accountant theme then:


    Jerry the Accountant. He works for Mephisto.

    Not enough Canadian superheroes in this game, so Captain Tax Time confirmed!

    On Apple IOS the clue was “the taxman cometh!”  Are they different clues to 1 character or 2 clues to 2 characters?
    Probably 2 clues to the same character.

    The Apple iOS clue is a double-reference, both to the title of the play "The Iceman Cometh", and possibly a side-reference to the fact that Bobby Drake (Iceman) went to college to study accounting.

    Ice is, obviously, Transparent. So an Iceman 5* release fits both clues, and the release pattern.

    FINALLY it looks like we're getting a 616 Iceman. Snowball doesn't count because he's one of the time-displaced X-Men (like Teen Jean). A glaring omission fixed at last. Alongside Sabretooth and Magik (and a powerhouse Storm variant) in 2019, and a good handful last fall as well (Dazzler, Kitty, Cable, Bishop, Domino) we're whittling away at the few that remain. Still have some heroes that could be added (it's the X-Men, they'll ALWAYS have someone left that could be added), but less and less that make you think "Where on earth is this one?"
    I just want a 4/5* Nate Grey

    Hoping it is Iceman from Top Gun, 5* Kilmer
    If that's the case maybe we'll get a 5 * Howard the Goose later on too

    183 on iOS store.
    ”Try to stop this worthy one and add him to your roster, coming soon!”
    The ‘try to stop’ part screamed Juggernaut. Googling Juggernaut and worthy brought up Kuurth of the Serpent’s Worthy who possessed Juggernaut.
    ...
    Well, no clue who’s next!

    Sounds like a 4* Thor the Unworthy.

    The teaser in the r183 release notes here had me thinking Thor as well.
