    Apocalypse is a big deal in the X-Men comics right now I hear, I guess it could be him. I'd also be down for Deathlok though

    Maybe that's why there was a note in one of the last few release notes that they did something to the X-men vs Apocalypse event...

    Deathlok would be very cool. As long as he has a sound effect!

    I could totally see Deathlok being created as a "two mode" character like Cloak & Dagger -- a slightly more empathetic/protective /team-player mode where his human persona is in control, and another more ruthless/precise/assault mode where his A.I. is in control.

    There's a new HP Vault called The Brainy Bunch with 41 items inside. 3750HP for 40 pulls. Shuri and Modok are the two four stars. 1 token to this vault for everyone.

    maybe this is connected to the last big hit comic run for the mutants? house of X and power of X?

    I could have sworn there was an xmen animated episode back in the nineties titled "under the pale moonlight" which featured...Apocalypse

    Not according to various listings of the episode titles on the interwebs. I assume you meant X-Men the Animated Series.

    I also look at a "Top 15 animated episodes with Apocalypse in them" and none of them had that title.

    If we are still taking werewolf related suggestions, it could be Marcus, the diabetic were-centaur with a venom symbiote?

    This sounds like an SNL superhero from a sketch. It is, right? :D

    If we're going ridiculous, why not Bird-Brain? I mean he probably flew around at night or something.

    I am kind of hoping for the Joker as a bizarre mpq/Batman '89 crossover. . .

    Though I suppose that would probably have had 'dance' and/or 'devil' in the clue as well.

    Silver Fox?

    It might be Moira McTaggert. I saw someone in another thread say they searched for the phrase and “lyrics” and found a song by Corner Boy called “Moira (Under the Pale Moonlight)”

    Pretty obscure clue I guess, but the developers do seem to like using song titles and lyrics in the game. I’d be happy with Moira, myself.

    From what I understand about the comics recently it might be another character that can somehow come back to life after being downed.

    Hoping for Sleepwalker again...

    Maybe "under the pale moonlight" is an Ed Gein reference. He was the first serial killer, and Apocalypse was the first mutant.

    The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, Death, rides on a pale horse.

    Looks like the name of the Ed Gein movie is "In the Light of the Moon" but maybe there's another reference I'm not aware of. This would also be an...odd....thing to reference in a Marvel game at any time, let alone during a pandemic.

    I suppose we'll all find out the character in a few days....I sure hope someone explains the clue once it's revealed.

    Part of me wonders if the clue is a misquote or something and we're all being stymied by an error.

    Nope, somehow this guy is a real character! He teamed up with Dracula and Frankenstein (even though that was the doctor’s name) to fight deadpool.

    I would post a picture if I knew how

    Because who else would be able to get away with fighting a diabetic were-centaur with a venom symbiote

    what is a were-centaur? a man who grows a horse body sometimes?
