Attention all Agents! Get ready because it’s time to kick off 2022 with yet another forum contest! Throughout 2021, many new exciting heroes and villains have arrived on the MPQ battlefield, and we’ve certainly seen some changes with the list of favorite characters that players use in puzzle combat. However, the more things change, the more they stay the same… Or does it?
In the first week of 2021, the Top-5 favorite (most used) characters were:
Doctor Strange
Polaris
Rocket and Groot
Kitty Pryde
Thanos
In the first week of 2022, the Top-5 favorite (most used) characters were:
Shang Chi
We’ve given you a hint, now it’s time to test your knowledge! For this forum contest, we want you to guess the remaining characters you think made it up the ranks into the Top-10 favorite characters at the start of each year.
To Enter:
Complete the Top-10 list and submit your guesses of MPQ’s Top 6-10 most used characters during the first week of both 2021 and 2022 (10 characters total). Order your guesses by rank based on how often you think they were used at the start of each individual year. Be careful not to include any of the given Top-5 characters in your submission for that respective year!
Winners will be chosen based on a point system. Guessing the character correctly for the year will give you +1 points, and ranking them correctly will also give you +1 points for a total of 20 max points. As usual, we are only looking for character names, so simply listing Spider-Man will count for all Spidey variants (Back In Black, Infinity War, Peter Parker, etc).
The Tie-Breaker:
Guess the total number of times the 11th most popular character - Magneto, was used during the first week of 2021. Note: this is the total for all Magneto variants combined!

7: Thor
8: Black Widow
9: Hawkeye
10: Iron Man
2022
