    Deathlok makes sense to me and is also much cooler than the others. Sorry others. So it will probably be Firelord or somebody.

    I will go with Misty Knight. Her right hand is robotic, and she works out of Hell’s Kitchen....Daredevil...eye.

    I am sure I am wrong, but it is the best I can come up with.
    Of every name that’s been suggested, Misty Knight is the one I would want to see the most. I loved her role is the Netflix shows, and her comic version looks even cooler

    Did Disney just acquire more properties?
    About that I read rumours that they are trying to adquire DC. I dont believe any of that was related to the next update lol

    The right hand path is the good magic path, the Eye of Agamotto, 4* Strange.

    Come to think of it, those are probably marketing talk. 

    I'm looking forward to new content and I hope that the next 4* won't interest me.

    Won't?  I mean they likely won't since it'll be the 92nd one in tokens and probably won't move the needle much, but hoping they won't interest you is an interesting take.

    Is there any chance R197 broke the SCL selection process leading to the Claws for Concern not being able to be played above 8?  It was first run in April 2018, 7 months after SCL 9 was in game.

    Joke answer: Hellboy with his Right Hand of Doom

    Real guesses: Nothing new to suggest over the previous comments. A new Cyclops makes sense since we just got Havok. Is Misty Knight in a recent/upcoming comic? I like the character in the Netflix shows but seems a little random short of outside context. Then again, I don't think Karnak was in something recently either.

    FWIW, March typically celebrates women and Women of Marvel, so I could see this and the next character both being female characters.

    Only the Inhumans show back in 2017.  Surprised nothing is Eternals or Black Widow related.  5* Hopper!

    shouldn't be a 5* Cyc since his AoA costume is already in the game (the one where he's actually missing an eye)

    And Chinese/Lunar New Year celebrated Okoye, Tony, and I think Carol (might have been Cap)... no, not bitter  ;):D

    But, seriously, that makes sense.  They already have that PVP made already, so it's easy to rerun, and tack on 2 new female characters.

    The dots between hand and eye are out of place so must be relevant.

    When Americans pledge allegience to their flag they raise their right hand and start saying "I (or 'eye', if you spell it wrong) pledge allegiance...."

    Gonna call it - 4* Patriot on the way.

    They could always just put Norman Osborne Iron Patriot in the game.  Apparently he was in the console release, so they have the artwork and powers done already...

    I actually have the console version (purchased during the height of my dizzy love for the game some years ago before I knew better). Man...does the console version of this game suck the life out of you. And yes there is Iron Patriot but golly...I think I would rather smash myself in the face with a hammer for every character I have (220!) than actually play the console version to the point you get Norman...

    Iron Patriot has a power where you can hand-place 6 crits. Imagine that in today's 5* game...

    In the console version that power is both amazing and pointless. The PvE is a straight grind. The Pvp is based on Balance of Power (Is that right name?) - everybody is 550 or whatever the max level is every match. Unless they updated it but unlikely. I am intrigued at what Iron Patriot ap costs are now though. Last I played I think I maybe had a 3*. There is no way to accelerate apart from playing story mode from memory...

    *edit* wrong color, wrong price, wrong video in previous link lol

    Star Unibeam costs 14 purple, and seems more related to Kamala Khan's purple. You place a crit, then a bunch more get randomly places on the board:
