    I never read the Age of Apocalypse comics, but just looking into his lore, it seems he could just as easily feed Mister Sinister. Which I can imagine them wanting to do since he’s older.  Wait and see I guess, but feels like for sure he’s gotta feed one of them.

    Code red was a vault with ghostpool and carnage5 shards.

    Right now, answering myself to my own question, feeders theme is quite messy .

    The last 2 feeded 5* were iceman and PX. In their original order of release, next 2 were carnage5 and BRB. 
    However there are a lot of newer 4* releases who dont feed anyone, like antivenom and elsa bloodstone.
    So the new feeders are certain new 4* releases. 
    What its more, the order was totally altered with red guardian feeding yelena who appeared a lot later with havok, Ihulk and perhaps apocalypse .

    So my final conclusions are:
    there is a neat relationship between the feeders and 5*.
    The feeders are not finished yet and it will take a long time.
    They cannot announce it because it will be a big spoiler (in the case they already know it).

    (Red guardian was released to give us spider silk pve so it could happen that the order was circunstantially altered for that)

    I bet Devs have made him a feeder for Magneto...

    I will definitely play him with black ap builders Sto5m, Domino, Valkyrie, Cloak, and Elsa. Getting 30 black should get a 4,000+ in a match 3

    Too bad he's a 4 and will be dead long before he gets that much. Sounds like it would've been fun.

    What’s really interesting there is he has VERY good chances of feeding Apocalypse.
    How do you figure there's a "VERY good chance"?

    Wouldn't he have JUST as much chance to feed Magneto?

    I worry making statements like this, because we'll all be sad if it doesn't happen.
    Yeah I'm also a "Don't count your chickens before they hatch" kinda guy, but a big reason why I believe he'll be feed Apocalypse is because this Beast is a villain, whereas AoA Mags is a hero.
    4* Kingpin feeds 5* Daredevil.
    4* Gamora feeds 5* Thanos.
    Magik feeds Hela.
    Invisible Woman feeds God Doom.
    MEHulk feeds 5* Loki.
    Miles Morales feeds 5* Kingpin.

    Beast's going to feed Magneto. This hotcake will make players chase him, and "force" players to get Magneto's covers. 

    If you are waiting for Apocalypse's feeder, wait for a bottom tier Mutants to be released.  Remember Kitty and Emma Frost? :D

    Apoc who is hard to get a natural feeder for
    There is already a "natural" feeder for Poccy. His name is Lucas Bishop. But the devs refuse to use already-released 4* as feeders, so that they won't have to give out a whole bunch of backlogged rewards.

    For his blue passive, it says:
     "PASSIVE) If a friendly match includes a friendly special tile, gain 1 additional AP. (Max level strength 9 tile)"

    If you match more than one special, do you get AP for each?

    And why the max level part at the end?  Typo?
    Based on the wording, it will work like 3* Doctor Octopus's black passive, multiple special tiles in a match will only trigger the benefit once.
    The max level part at the end is a reference to the Attack tiles created by the countdown from the active part of the blue power.

    Mordo feeds 5* Doctor Strange

    That was before. And 4* versions gave 5* versions. And some of them without being related like thor 4 and storm or hulk main event and loki.
    When they did it covers were adding at logging.
    But now it seems it wont be the same as before, if not they already would do it with elsa ,polaris ,antivenom ,maria, karnak, legion, etc...

    Well Jane Thor and Storm do have a relation from being lightning/thunder based and Main Event Hulk was in Ragnarok which featured Loki.

    there definitely are some head scratchers tho.  But those two make sense to me,

    Moonstone feeding Hulk was always super weird to me.

    My (and helix's) point is that villains do feed heroes, and vice versa (did I really have to spell that out?? Honestly???). I'm rebutting Anon's belief that 4* Beast will feed Apocalypse and not 5* Mags simply because Beast and Apocalypse are villains, while Mags is a hero.

    personally, i'd like him to feed magneto, but that's mainly because I already have apocalypse champed :)

    thematically, it makes sense to me for Beast to feed Magneto, but hey - I'll take whatever.

    if only there was a nefarious way to confirm this feeder. 

    or... maybe we could get some *ahem* communication on the matter?

    Look at me, I just can't stop flogging this dead horse!

    I understood what you two were saying and while I'd usually agree, Beast did work for Apocalypse in the AoA timeliness. So it's not foolish to believe he'd feed him.

    "The Dark Beast was able to keep up his ruse until the Onslaught Saga, during which the Dark Beast joined Onslaught."

    ONSLAUGHT FEEDER CONFIRMED!

    I agree with that. And personally I hope Beast feeds Poccy instead of Mags. But to base it solely on hero-villain associations holds no water.

    Btw @Anon my "spelling it out" comment wasn't directed at you.

    Now that I think about it, Mags is still in Latest. Have they ever had a character that fed another still in Latest?
