    Midnight Sons, Heroes for Hire, A-Force, we've got a lot of fun potential here, whether it's tapped into with future characters, events, supports, whatever, it's nice seeing the building blocks go into place.

    Oof I wish you could make scarlet witch a mutant lol.  I use her and apocalypse as a combo sometimes.  She fills up the board with yellow and then he gets rolling (and beefs up her repeater).  And every time he gets stunned I get confuzzled because she's supposed to be a mutant.  Damn Fox...

    Weapon X, A-Force, and Midnight Sons!

    I assume that characters that have very obvious affiliations (Wolverine = Weapon X) are just not being updated at this time.

    Correct. We'll get to them all eventually. It's just surprisingly work intensive to update these, so they're being done in logical batches.
    What's enhanced mean?
    Enhanced in some manner from human base. Jane Foster with Mjolnir, Cap with Super Soldier Serum, etc.

    Shout out to Midnight Sons suddenly being in the zeitgeist again. Looking forward to that Darkholde support and 5* Lillith I'm sure can't be too far behind lol. Maybe Dan Ketch Ghost Rider with a New Fantastic 4 affiliation?

    Is Morbius really the first character that is both a Hero and a Villain?

    Mysterio would like to join Morbius to have both hero and villian tag.

    Mysterio is a hero. Quentin Beck is a villain.

    4-star Moon Knight is the character from the comic books, who is a Defender. 5-star Moon Knight is the character from the TV show, who is not a Defender.

    I'm glad we are turning page on a new MPQ era.
    Affiliations will enhance the sinergy factor in the game, at the same time it will bring a good fresh air amount. 
    New 4* character enhances partners and grants them a 10% bonus damage no matter if it's a 5*, 4* or 3*.
    I'm eager to see a full affiliation team and their accumulative bonus and if they are better than a classic meta team. 
    This one grants 10% damage to affiliations, next one could grant +2 AP to affiliation partners on strong color, a free move after firing a power, and so on.
    The future is coming!

    Thanks for the Info.
    I haven´t read the defender comics.
