    What's the pve for 6/10?
    Good catch! My mistake, I appear to have missed some information. I'll be sure to double check better in the future! The PvE events have been updated to the latest.
    Thank you SO MUCH for bringing back the boosted list previews.  You do not understand how much easier you make my life for an hour every week!

    I checked the boost list for the next week and saw that 5* Hawkeye is on there, then was bummed because I still needed 100 shards to finish him off. Then I checked the Shard store and he just happened to be in there. Hooray. Now I just need about 80k to champ him.

    Now let's see if boosted Panthos can brute-force Simulator in CL10 ...

    Iceman's early buff week means that this week we see god boost Panthos (unless the Devs have some other trick up their sleeve), a combination that would have been avoided. I'm a little scared to be honest...
    I use Panthos so often that I have them as one of my saved teams. Bring it on!

    You must be eyeing up that 3* Loki PvP already, with his health that is basically a free Court Death.

    "4-Star Clue: You are a pirate.
    5-Star Clue: Ohm my..."

    First, devs, do you have any idea how many pirates there are? Nebula was a pirate, I believe, but we already have her. Nonetheless, the Starjammers alone had several members including Cyclops' father, Corsair. There is Blackbeard, Chimera, and many others. I'm not even going to try to guess on this one.

    As for the 5-star clue, it has to be a character known for meditating. That could be a lot of characters too, but I'm going to go with Zenpool simply because I submitted a concept for him here.

    My mind went directly to electricity with “Ohm my” no idea who they might be talking about though.

    4*. I reckon it’s Corsair, who is the only Marvel character known for being a pirate, as opposed to, say, the current Marauders. Corsair is the father of Havok and Cyclops, which should be of interest to people who like to speculate about feeders. 

    (He’s also the father of Vulcan and Adam-X, but they’re not in the game)

    5*. Obviously, this is George Takei Ohm? Electro, perhaps? Although given that he’s rumoured to be in the new Spider-man film, why release him now? Not that it sounds like that there’s going to be a shortage of characters in that film.

    The 4* clue got to be a movie line or something. As for Ohm my..., here is the meaning of ohm:

    1. The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance, named after German physicist Georg Ohm.

    First character that pops up is Elecktro. Second is Shocker.

    I think the word related to meditation is om. I don't remember it being spelt with an 'h' in the middle.

    4*: You're a Pirate


    Maybe? 

    5*: Ohm My
    This one seems a little harder to tie back to marvel; it could be either the unit of measuring electrical resistance, maybe Electro or somebody like that, or it could be something closer to Multiverse of Madness and tie in to the hindu meaning of om, which is the sound heard at the beginning of creation (though that is usually transposed to english as Om without the H). It also felt a little George Takei adjace being his catch phrase and all, but the only MCU ties I can find for him are his comments criticizing the casting of Tilda Swinton as the Sorceror Supreme.

    There was a terrible PS2 game called Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects who had a bad guy called Johnny Ohm. It isn't him...unless things have taken a dive in the character availability stakes.
    Batroc was referred to (wrongly) as a "French Pirate" in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

    Haha, I misread the 5* clue as "oh my" and thought George Takei...

    So, instead of Electro, I'm going Omega Red.  The ohm symbol is omega; which he proudly sports on his "stylish" bandana.

    I was just thinking about how they seem to have been going back and mining years old MCU films lately so I guess it isn't completely out of the question that it might be The Ancient One?

    As you can probably imagine, I’m here for that. O-Red would be awesome.

    5* has to be the classic Electro since they did release a classic Lizard
    4* clue could be related to the song by Lazy Town

    Good point. I can see the argument for Electro, but I'm going with Omega Red now.

    Quick now! We need a pic of Electro floating in mid air in a lotus sit position. For the memes!  :D

    I just realised that Electro has similar colour scheme to 3* Iron Fist.

    If it's really Electro, I think he will be throwing out Charged tiles all over the board. It would be a boom to match damage meta.
