    Contraphobia: intolerance of people with different views than one's own.

    It sounds like a villian or maybe a bigot. 

    It's a tough guess. Marvel youtube are showing Moon Knight (30 March) and Eternals.

    I have no clue. Not even googling can help me.  :D

    It's about to be Black History month. I'd expect to see a black character (or two) be released.
    Incidentally I found quite a different definition than Hound did:
    People with contraphobic behaviors initiate situations or experiences they actually find extremely distressing or hard to deal with.

    Based on that definition my first guess would be Red Skull

    YES!!!!! I am extremely certain I know who this is. Contraphobia… is exactly that was said above. That plus Black History Month. 

    This is Blue Marvel. His entire character is based on Contraphobia and he would be an amazing character for Black History Month knowing what his story and background is. I am hyped!!!! 
    I hope so!

    Great guess, would love to see him enter the game.

    I also think it could be Deathlok, he was a soldier that was reanimated and his earlier origins have him active through the 80s up to the 90s which falls in line with the Contra Affair.

    So, what y'all are saying is that the answer is not UUDDLRLR? Or rather DDUURLRL  ;)

    I like this but I think they said that the character released first from the poll would be a 4* and Deathlok was on that poll. I could be misremembering though.

    You could start with 30 lives in Contra. Imagine that this character had a passive that gave them 30 ap at the start of the battle.

    It could be me because I have contra phobia of 90% of the postings here . I wonder what name they’ll use ?

    I was googling it, and found some links to "contraphobically founded panic syndrome," and googled "marvel panic" and arrived at the following character:

    Okay, so who is a reluctant hero? Someone who is doing the hero thing (initiating the situation), but absolutely doesn't want to be doing it (finding it extremely distressing or hard to deal with).

    It's obviously Doorman (DeMarr Davis)

    Dealt with intolerance: check. (He's a Great Lakes Avenger and his dad looks down on him)

    Doing distressing things he'd rather not: check. (You try escorting your estranged father's soul to the other side)

    He fits every conceivable definition of the clue, and makes sense for black history month.

    GLA incoming confirmed.

    Intolerance of people with different views than one's own.


    So which Marvel character is like this?  Some anti-hero?

    Maybe it's a "good" magneto?

    Isn't 5* Magneto a "good Magneto"? Not to use obviously, ha ha!

    2* Magneto also has the Heroes affiliation, so there are more hero Magnetos in the game than villain Magnetos.
