    What's TA Hulk pvp doing there?  :D

    And a Shang Chi pvp? 

    And is SW - Red Shift the 5* or 3* version? 

    And two Dr Strange pvp in a row? I should've gotten 5* Strange champed. 

    We have a string of MoM related pvps in the coming weeks.

    Let's go Multiverse!

    No alliance event is surprising . Eye can only mean Shuma Gorath . ( Or Night Nurse in ICU knowing how the devs never make it obvious)

    So no tie in for the four stars? lame... the only good thing out of this is new pve events.. Skipping Shang Chi PVP, that will be a blood 
    bath. Rewards are not worth the effort in the     Shang Chi PVP

    Also...could be something ICU-related.  Some sort of medbot, or maybe another 5* Rescue?

    Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot that he's Asian American. And that explains SC's pvp well.

    We had a 4* recently. The next 4*, which should be a MoM tie-in, is on May 19.

    Eye See You?  Maybe it's Ghost Rider's old motorcycling rival, the Orb.

    (Yeah, I know, it's almost certainly the name-changed-to-protect-the-copyright movie version of Shuma Gorath, but it's fun to dream...)

    “Eye see you” is clearly from Avatar, so expect giant blue cat people.

    Are the blue cat people water benders?

    Thank you for putting 3 Star Strange as the featured 3 star in honor among thieves. Level 2 that is 100% Mindless ones only is a real Pain and he comes in handy when boosted.

    Has the starting board in Puzzle Gaunlet nodes always been the same? I thought they always change.

    The Deadpool Daily crash after The Punisher(MAX) is listed as Black Cat(Master Thief).  That is wrong.  She was the previous crash and is currently shown on the offers page.  I'm not quite sure who the correct crash opponent should be after The Punisher, but I'm pretty sure it should be Echo(Maya Lopez) assuming she met the conditions to qualify(being the featured 4* in two PVE events).  If Echo has not met the requirements, the crash opponent should be Spider-Man 2099(Miguel O'Hara).  
    Apparently they are running those two again. Probably an oversight.

    Thanks. I thought I was seeing things.

    I remember only Johnny Storm's Fireside Puzzles starting board is always fixed.
