Is Ragnarok getting upgraded to a 4*?
Also, and I realize it could be a stretch, but shouldn't apocalypse be a technologist. He uses celestial technology.

And Big Wheel and Yellowjacket are being downgraded.

Tony Stark is wondering why he has to wait to get the Technologists affiliation.
Fixed the tiering, should be good now.
Is Hydra Buster = Hydro Stomper?
i thought Nebula would be a Synthetic. She looks like cyborg to me.
Why is Rescue not on Team Iron Man?

Movie Pepper was entirely removed from that whole set of shenanigans. She was busy running Stark Industries.
I don’t recall doctor octopus or Prowler being overly involved either…
Will we ever get a symbiote/Klyntar affiliation?

Nebula would be a technologist as she is a cybernetically advanced alien but she is biological born not artificially created.
Beta Ray Bill is also a technologist in his original alien form as he was also cybernetically enhanced to be the greatest warrior of his race but I guess as he is in his "Thor" form in the game it probably hasn't been applied.

Doc Ock does join Iron Man's team sort of in the comic book version of Civil War so he can hunt down heroes but we seem to be using the movie one? I would still call it a stretch to call him Team Iron Man as he rejects joining the Thunderbolts and ends up in SHIELD jail. So if we are using the MCU then 4* Ock would be the one who has a very tenuous link to IM as he absorbs Stark Tech from Spidey in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Prowler? I'm not sure which one we have? Is he Marvel Comics or Sony Spider Verse version?
Wouldn't Rocket be considered Synthetic? He's definitely a Technologist though. Do these not count because he's also paired with Groot?
Did I miss something? What are these new affiliations good for? Are there powers refering those affiliations (like 5* Iron Man does take team iron man members into consideration) or supports that can only be eqipped to a "technologist"?
I'm guessing they're laying the groundwork to eventually do something with affiliations. Like, more than they did the last 7 years.

Sonyverse prowler looked like purple Spawn with a big old cape, so I don’t think that’s what we have here.

You missed something. Deathlok's blue passive has additional effects based on the Synthetic and Technologist affiliations.
That's some interesting info about Nebula. My memory of her is seeing her getting split opened by Thanos and then her robotic parts got separated until Gamora interfered.

In the MCU she is the same as Gamora in that she is a child who Thanos adopted after he killed her parents and ravaged her planet. Nebula has cyborg parts because Thanos forced Gamora & Nebula to fight each other on numerous occasions and every time Nebula lost he "upgraded her" with robot parts to make the battle "more even".
