    Ignoring the mental part.. a fierce attack is also called an onslaught, isn't it?

    no need to ignore the mental part... 
    "Onslaught was written as a sentient psionic entity created from the consciousness of two mutants: Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto. "

    to me, that sounds like Onslaught...

    if it's Onslaught, I wonder if he's going to be the next Apocalypse or Bruce Banner. 

    5* Magneto won't be too bad either.

    I'd love for it to be Legion.  Though, this variant of Professor X has recently been added to a few other Marvel games.

    Alright. What do we have to do to get Black Widow's Batons added to the Support store? The list updated again today, and for like the 5th or 6th cycle in a row, neither the Batons nor the Kra-Van have appeared. Come on, man. Throw me a frickin' bone here.

    Kickstarter?

    Money truck?

    The problem (I assume) is that they don't want to be bothered to maintain a list that isn't neatly divided into 3, or something.  They settled on 3 pools of 15 Supports and it just auto rotates.  The problem is there are 3 other non-Stone supports. 

    Maybe Kra-Van was always intended as a Limited Support and so that left a weird (prime) number of Supports (47) to somehow divide up.

    So they dropped two of them - arguably, Batons are one of the best with a freaking random 1 turn stun - and Pocket Radio, which is also extremely good with boosting match dmg in up to 3 colors.  Maybe they had a vision to somehow include these two Supports in some sort of special bundles or something.

    Of course, we have been making jokes about how hard it is to get Supports for almost as long as Supports were actually in development, now.

    I share your frustration as I do not have the Batons, nor Pocket Radio.

    After playing both the Bishop and WorthCap nodes on the same day in Simulator, I’m really hoping this character has a psionic ability that can stop a character who is getting ready to jump in front. Like they can sense it as it’s getting ready to happen, and then psychically takes control of that character’s mind to stop them. I’m sure it would be super difficult to code that, but I can dream.

    Like a x turn insta-stun when Thing/Rogue/Worthy/Bishop/Deadpool3 jumps?  Awesome. Take my money.

    Yes. But it doesn’t even have to stun. I just want him to freeze the jump in front movement. Kinda like ProfX does in the movies when he gets in someone’s head and makes them stop motor functions. Granted, a stun would be nice too (especially for Bishop), but I’m not greedy.

    Well, it could be set up as a countdown tile like 5* Thanos where when it's present on the board then no enemies can jump out in front. Or make it even more powerful and have it disable passive abilities for enemies.

    I don’t see the Batons in my pool at all.  Do you have any hoarded tokens or something?

    Just want to chime in again and remind y'all that Dazzler will retalia-stun one of those jump-in-fronts if they do damage and she's tanking. So I guess grind her to max-champ so that she'll tank those popular colors she has.

    I have this idea for Deathlok where he could have the unique ability to change your initiative. Basically, it would allow you to force the computer to make the first move and allow your team to move second. This would be advantageous against Bishop and Hammercap teams for if you had them on your side, you would get the jump-in-front benefit first.

    The meta idea I had for this is that, similar to how you can select Taskmaster's abilities before a match, you could set Deathlok's human host to play normally, moving first, or override the human host with the Deathlok A.I., moving second, which could be used for a tactical advantage against the jump-in-front characters like Bishop and Hammercap.

    Well that was a waste of time 

    think next time this event is on I’ll  just not bother with the 5* node

    After doing back to back 5*s and Hellcat, with Apoc still not in LL yet, I'm gonna assume it's another 4* as that would almost get them back on schedule.

    If we continue with the Mutant trend that they seem to be paying attention to comic wise, I'd wager 4* Psylocke could be the next character.

    A Psionic blade to the head is what I'd call a fierce mental attack lol.

    When did they fix Carbage? I was expecting to gain free aps and damage to his team due to his passive at the start of the game.

    No, no hoarded tokens.  I have 42 of 54 supports with 12 grayed out since I don't have them, one of which is the widow's batons.
