Its a serious question.

From my experience, it's always been on a Thursday.  I'm in EST, if it matters (which i dont think it does).

But for the last two characters (Cyclops and now Beast), i see people online on FB, posting in-game pics, already having them in roster (today, and Cyclops also had this on the wednesday before the day i saw him released in my game).

Am i missing something?  This isnt another case of Android gets update late, is it?  Because i cant view the new Beast at all, yet this guy already has a blue cover.

    I can only see the previews up in the Simulator preview rewards, he isn't on my roster in the "unowned" section

    You know what?

    That may just be it.  

    I recreated what you just said and found the two matching images this guy tends to post...
    The comic cover...
    And the basic character view, showing a 1 in blue, and locked on the other two.

    Mixed with seeing the players ISO, HP, and CP up top, it totally looks like the player owns that cover!  You know, when taken from a face-value screenshot deal... ;)

    This probably solves the issue.  Just a guy generating hype about a new character as soon as he can.

    When ghostpool was released that pic (of a dev) was shown on a lot of Facebook pages. Same cps, same hps.
    It would help if the guy said it was just a preview image, of course.
    Perhaps its funnier this way.
