    New Feeders? We've got 5 x 5s without them now. Granted a few are still in Latest, but that's never stopped you before! :)

    There is a new Legendary store up - Adept Adaptation. Has OML, AA, Storm. I think that qualifies as "legendary content" for marketing purposes.

    I didn't know this bug exists. The first character that comes to my mind is Kraven. Who else can do what Kraven is doing?

    Interesting, they were all once Four Horsemen of Apocalypse...

    Thank you! I forgot about those two and Phoenix's is one that I'm not familiar with. Upon re-reading of that bug, it seems to affect BBSM and Venom.

    Come to think of it, there isn't any 5* that can debuff the strength of enemy special tiles over time like Kraven does. Maybe it's time to introduce one?

    so a mutant is coming?
    they always have a "theme" going on (just noticed) when the new character is coming.

    ^ This is a real Omega Red power, if you ask me

    Hmmm are we sure they're finished with FF? Just to play off of Omega Red power draining, how about Leech? He's part of the FF and X-men world. And, maybe he has a power that creates a countdown tile that turns off passives for x # of turns... :#

    Is the next one a 5 star? If so maybe a 5 star MoonKnight. A Mr. Knight look would be cool

    As were Daken and Psylocke. Gambit might have been a better choice than Storm, since as a Horseman, she’s usually an alternate reality.

    Omega Red would be awesome but I remember seeing "leaks" or "rumors" of him appearing as a Super Villain in one of the movies. If it's true, it might be too early for him.

    I went to listen to the sound effect added to Maria's ability. It works only when animation is on. :D

    The file size needed for R200 seems to be slightly bigger than usual. It's about 115MB. I think it's roughly 60-70MB most of the time?

    Wonder when they will release the identify of the new 5*. Really looks like apocalypse.

    Maria Hill now had a sound effect?!?!? Sign me up! Where is that Target Hero button? Watch out Shield SIM!

    Next week, Monday at the soonest. It's always the same.....although it could be later and the announcement could be Tuesday. The absolute latest is Wednesday when the new 5 will be seen in the in-game preview for the new event starting Thursday (assuming they stick to the established HP release via normal PVE and all that).

    I fail to see how the clue connects to Apocalypse, but maybe I'm missing something. I never saw the movie, for example.

    I am not sure too. I just heard many guesses that Apocalypse will be the next 5*. I am a bit skeptical though since there’s no tie up. But the new 5* store are all mutants and the store name is “Adept Adaptation” seems to point to Apocalypse (survival of the fittest??)

    “Under the pale moonlight”

    !!! This was the title of the backup-story in the oversized Deathlok vol.2 #25, which detailed the secret origin of his cybernetic mainframe.

    Deathlok (all but) confirmed! And it's about time, I say - he's long overdue.

    Obviously Deathlok, all versions of Deathlok were created on earth and earth is under the pale moonlight!!!
