    I really thought Ronan’s “killer dance moves” clue was for Zemo

    I wonder what 5* is going to end 2021. Another 10 hours?  B)

    Hm...what greek character means "the end," and who has a color in their name and livery that aligns with the close of year holidays? Could it be.....OMEGA RED?!?! #nailedIt

    I'm waiting for Omega Red too. Does anyone have spoiler/rumour about him appearing in future series or movies?

    According to this site he is appearing in all the future series and movies.

    I do not. There was that very believable rumor he was headed to Flaptain and Bucky, but that didn't happen. He was also totally in Deadpool 2 as a background character in Prison, so he exists in that universe and could potentially show up for DP3. 

    I would love to see him show up with Yelena in any hypothetical S2 of Falcon and Winter Soldier, along with <hawkeye spoiler> who seems to be bouncing around the D+CU now and is already in the game.

    Even though we have a Sharon Carter support.  They definitely could have gone the extra mile and given us a 5* Power Broker.
    But that would have required extra coding work to prevent Power Broker being in a team at the same time as a character using the Sharon Carter support.

    We've seen that type of exclusionary coding lately, somebody seems to know how to do it. As with the recent lifing of it from Ghost Rider: Robbie Reyes and Ghost Rider: Johnny Blaze, and Wolverine (samurai daken) and all other wolverines. I still think Zemo was the stronger add from that show myself. Or John Walker

    Still waiting on a 4* Shriek from Let there be Carnage as well. But that is MCU adjacent so I will probably waiting a while.

    They brought Morbius in and I'm pretty sure his release was intended to tie in with the film release if it wasn't for the COVID related delays, so I don't think they're tied in to just MCU connected releases. I guess they just didn't really see Shriek as priority for whatever reason.

    4-Star Teaser: "Will not die a monster..."

    Another Movie Tie in? Possible 4 star Dr. Otto Octavius  quote from spider man 2. if its him it be would interesting.

    Yes!!!! Went back to confirm! "I will not die a monster" is Doc Ock's final words in Spider Man 2. I have desperately wanted a 4 star Doc Ock since we've had a 3 star and a 5 star for so long.  

    If this IS him, then it also proves something I had suspected. Cyclops and Colossus were the only ones to get Phoenix 5s because they only had 3 star or 4 star variants that were now outdated. There is also Beast and Dark Beast as well as 5 star Storm. The devs choosing to give Doc Ock a new variant proves they'll be doing it for older characters too. So, we'll likely see a 4 star Doctor Strange for example.

    Seems like BRB sharts will be skipped in favour of Big Wheel.

    Why would you do something so controversial yet so brave?

    They have done much braver things in the past, and they've survived all of them. Dealing with the outcome of skipping BRB shards is child's play. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  :D

    They are god boosting Shang Chi so maybe that is to make up for it?

    They aren't skipping Beta Ray Bill at all. His turn isn't until next September anyways. They're slotting him in for the release event so another Classic 5 doesn't get skipped (and then he gets a bonus turn as featured, for everyone who already has him usable). In this case, he's dropped in between Daredevil and Rescue so Rescue doesn't get skipped.

    They did the same thing with Ultron's release (Magneto dropped in between Iron Man and Banner, Magneto's actual turn isn't until June) and Sersi's release (Doom came before Doc Ock and Apocalypse so they didn't get skipped, Doom's turn isn't until July). They DID skip Shang-Chi for Gamora's release, because it came during a set of 3 Latest, and they don't seem to care about skipping a Latest 5 as much since they're featured so much more frequently.

    Thankfully. I would be minorly annoyed if they skipped a classic I am so close to champing.

    4-Star Teaser: "Will not die a monster..."

    It reminds me of the exchange between Batman and Harvey Dent, where Harvey Dent was the nice guy, and Batman, the monster.

    I assume it's going to be a Spider-man tie-in, so I'll settle with Dr Ock.

    What's a "Batman"?
