    Hard charger... It  has to do with either electricity or someone like Juggernaut/Rhino/Hulk. 

    I'm going with Abomination.

    I think Abomination was in the new character poll and Black Knight won, i don't think they will make him that soon

    That's where I got the idea from. I forgot the H1 condition of the poll. Other guesses would be Shocker or Rhino.  I'm not expecting another IronMan.  I think I'll change to Rhino since he fits the clue "hard charger" on the surface. He's hard and he charges.  :D

    Are we supposed to pretend that "Hard charger..." isn't the character that won the fan poll?

    I'm not familiar with Black Knight. I just googled him and I can see the hard charger reference. Wouldn't it be too early though? It's as if Black Knight was pre-selected to win the poll.  :o

    Alternatively it’s as if any/all those characters were ready to go, and BK just won the poll for who is coming out first.

    That makes sense because I remember some players saying that in the past characters who were polled were released anyway.

    I'm going to guess Quasar.  Not sure who is Quasar now, but the bands Quasar wears makes solid objects out of energy...

    Lot of intuitive guesses, someone probably got it right already. Rhino fits as well as BK for the equine reference. I’ll go with Titanium Man .

    It's never who I think it is... So, I'm just going to guess SPEEDBALL...

    Hard charger?

    Juggernaut in an ironman suit?

    Something changed with the way the game remembers who you had selected on your team.

    In Deadpool's Daily Quest, I always do the 1* and 2* wave node (Under the Sea), then the 1* node (That Guy from That Place), and lastly, the 2* node (Third Time's the Charm).  It used to be that I would pick my team for the wave node, I use 2* Storm, Hawkeye, and Magneto, then after doing the 1* node, when I select the 2* node, it would have those same three already selected.

    This week, it started having different characters in at least one of the slots.  Today, it had Bullseye, who was the 2* character used in the Behemoth Burrito (the node requiring specified 2*, 3*, and 4* characters), which I had done previously.

    Yeah, I was thinking old school New Warriors.

    Character turnaround is a little slower than people think, no way this is Black Knight. He'd have to already be partly done before the poll to get all of the art approvals and such on time for release, which would mean they would have needed ALL of the characters to be partly ready for the poll to go out, and this group can't afford to waste time on characters they aren't going to release, so if they had all the characters partly ready prior to the poll, it would mean those are the only characters we'd be getting for a few months, and if we're getting all of them, soon, it would kinda defeat the point of having the poll in the first place.

    Far more likely that Black Knight is set for late spring or early summer, months from now, and if we get other characters from the poll, it wouldn't start for a few months after THAT.

    I like Rhino or Speedball as a suggestion, unless "charge" is meant to be an electricity hint.

    The graphic on for the poll said "Vote for the next MPQ character" (https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/86293/marvel-puzzle-quest-new-character-poll-1-14-22), but when they announced the winner, it said he'll be coming in the first half of 2022 (https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/86385/winner-of-the-mpq-new-character-poll-black-knight-2-2-22).

    Next could be referring to the next to be worked on rather than the next to be released.
