    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.

    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.

    So basically yeah, a joke.

    This is a centaur that was bitten by a werewolf, so his top half became the standard "wolfman" form...who was later bound to a symbiote....who later had his horse legs chopped off so they were replaced with robotic legs.

    I feel pretty certain it's not a 5* Marcus.....maybe in 2030 when they've done 20 Spider-man variants and every single other Marvel character (including Bird-Brain, of course!).....maybe then. Maybe.

    Most likely not, no. But I can still dream!

    Hi Everyone –

    Here are the Release Notes for R200. Update should be live later today.

    “Under the pale moonlight”

    https://the-roblox-marvel-omniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Under_the_Pale_Moonlight

    This is what I found from a google search.

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

    Wasn't Jack the ripper the first serial killer?

    'To dance with the Devil in the pale moonlight' is a very old folktale archetype present in British and French folktales. Mephisto is the obvious choice here, but my money's on Morbius.

    Has to be Morbius. Has a movie coming out next year and everything.

    This would be a no-brainer had the movie not been pushed back from it's original July release. Now it's up to the 'house of mouse' if they'll want Morbius out now. Unless it's Dracula!

    C'mon everyone, this is clearly "Benjamin Sisko (The Emissary)"

    (Okay that is "In the Pale Moonlight" and not "Under...")

    I'm not sure who it actually is. Maybe will have a guess when the obscured stats are posted.

    Can one of his powers be:

    Buck Bokai
    Calls upon the greatest baseball player. Swings the bat furiously, instantly kills one random character from either team (including Benjamin Sisko).

    Hi Everyone –

    • [iOS Only] Dropped support of iOS 8 and 9. MPQ supports iOS 10 and higher.

    Last Thursday night I settled in with my iPad Mini (original) to play MPQ. The game said there was an update and sent me to the app store. The app store didn't show an update was available. Rebooted and tried again without success. I started to panic because it was less than two hours before the stage ended and I really wanted the Maria Hill cover progression reward on the PVE event.

    I came here to see if it was a system outage. I didn't find anything. Finally I opened this thread and discovered the cause was MPQ dropped support for iOS 9. My iPad Mini doesn't support iOS 10. I has to scramble to get another device, set it up and install MPQ in time to participate in the stage. I barely cleared the stage in time.

    Not everyone could be as fortunate as myself to have access to another device on such short notice. Was this a wise decision to drop support in the middle of a pandemic when people are being asked to stay at home and could use the diversion of playing MPQ? I do not think so, especially without notice within the game.

    I get flooded with offers to spend money within the game. It should have been a simple task to give us a heads up message about dropping support for iOS 8 and 9 before pulling the plug. Imagine how mad I would have been if I'd purchased one of your $79.99 offers last Wednesday only to be barred from the game the next day. The next time you decide to drop support for an OS, please consider notifying your customers in game a week or so prior to the implementation so they have an opportunity to make arrangements in a timely fashion.

    Anyone who did something like this should immediately request a refund.

    Luckily there are a multitude of diversions out there besides MPQ......

    We understand your frustrations and apologize for any inconvenience. We notified players in the forums and FAQs in February of the upcoming change. It gets incredible hard to support older OS versions as time goes on as new OS versions adds to the amount that needs to be QA'd and such and older versions introduce more bugs. In interest of providing the best MPQ experience for all players, older OS versions need to be removed from time to time. Please reach out to customer support if you need help transferring a save to another device and they will be happy to assist.

    I understand the need to remove support for older OS's as time goes by. My point is an in game notification of a pending removal would help mitigate some of the inconvenience experienced by players of the game. Not everyone knows about this forum. I learned about this forum during a outage a while ago. I usually only visit when I have issues which fortunately are infrequent. Hence being blindsided by the change.

    Keep up the good work and I'll keep playing MPQ.
