What characters will be boosted for the coming week(s)?

DyingLegend

Can't it be 5-4-4-5........

Loosie

Yay...Kitty Pride is the featured 5 for Welcome to Shield! The 5-star nodes might not be horrible to do!

Anon

'Ramblin Man'? Could it be!?

J Jonah Jameson!

Streamlined , but any news is good news . 

UNC_Samurai

Thanks, Ice!  We just need updates to boosted characters now.

My guess is yes. One thread that they’ll update when they feel like it/get to it. My assumption is that they are trying to quell the “late information!” posts by no longer tying it to a specific month. 

Ice, any communication on if this is the new form of communication?

DyingLegend

Well see yall next month for the next info drop

liminal_lad

Thank you!

A. Greg Allman most associates with 
B. On the Album , Brothers and Sisters , so could be the Wonder Twins or a Sibling pair .
C. Originally sung by HANK Williams so could be a Hank in MPQ , Pym or McCoy.

D. They’re now making up their own characters so could be anyone. Like Samurai Cyclops.

I like this format because it looks cleaner and more compact. What's more eye-catching is further UI revamps. Could it be The One, finally?

Ramblin Man is a dad-rock anthem. More likely to Cowboy Corsair, A made up version of Cyclops’ daddy in my opinion

Or Thing (Ninja). When Benjamin Grimm randomly found a magical sword sai he was transported back in time to Feudal Japan Yancy Street. After watching lots of movies with Ninja's in them he was inspired to become...ta dah...Thing Ninja! Despite the fact he can lift a car with one hand, Thing continues to battle for Justice with his magical sai and...cripes, is anybody even editing these things any more, this makes no sense whatsoever. Right - that's that one done, who is next? Ghost Rider (Motorbike Salesman). OK, When Johnny Blaze was run over by a mystical bike, he was transported...

ThaRoadWarrior

I'm going to bat for Ghost Rider (Hipster) - Riding her fixed-gear bike, young Portland coffee snob Luna Ember transforms into the Spirit of Taste whenever she detects someone using improper font kerning, and she uses her Helvetica-fire blasts to make them feel incompetent in all their manuscript writing! #PutABirdOnIt

Thanks @IceIX. At first I wasn’t sure about the new format, but if we can get boosted lists added, this is great.

bluewolf

The vast majority of people coming to the forum aren't that concerned about cover colors, and even if they are.....what can you do about it?  

Saved covers mean even a new uneven build on a character isn't that high of a hurdle to get past if you are not getting the color you want from PVP or whatever.  Shards make it fairly easy to get around bad builds when needed.

If this is easier and makes updates more timely, then I say keep it up.

Thank you for the information and attention to the community.
