    The Apple Store clue for the most recent update says “Flying Samurai;” wonder what that’s about?

    Omega Red, obviously.

    Don't. Don't give me hope.

    The “flying samurai” is a guitar model from Yamaha. I’ve been seeing a lot of Spider-Punk media around the web lately, so I guess that’s a tenuous possibility. He doesn’t appear to be drawn playing one of those though, looks more like a basic Fender Strat to me usually.

    Omega Red can play 8 guitars at once. Confirmed!

    The increased pvp placement rewards are just temporary? (Per the calendar)

    Yes, and Ice confirmed that was always the plan, on Discord I believe.

    Omega Red is "complicated" the Devs said: read nobody wants to touch anything Russian right now. So maybe the forum can come up with a better joke clue character? Like Longshot is a longshot but...

    I definitely want to flesh out the Mojoverse a bit more. I may go for Longshot. mojo, mojo II, Shatterstar…

    We can't possibly come up with a better joke character than Big Wheel, that ruined every other joke forever

    Bob, Agent of Hydra. That's my current go-to joke character suggestion.

    Bob is no joke

    Might be fun to do some of those 90s characters they were trying so hard to get over like Darkhawk, Sleepwalker, and Slapstick as well

    I don't know about that. Omega Red featured pretty heavily in X-men comics all last year and is currently a member of X-Force. Additionally, he is also in a few other Marvel mobile games, including Marvel Snap.

    I can only quote what IceIX said. Omega Red is complicated. He never said why so the rest is my assumption.

    Maybe they are going to put him up against the largely post-russian team of MCU Thunderbolts (winter soldier, red guardian, yelena, taskmaster, and ghost) and save him for that? Or bring him back in Deadpool 3 since he was mostly cut from DP2?

    The new update says ‘Defend the realm with Wong in some fun, mystical events’ so it would seem that he is in fact the next 5 and that clue about the Flying Samurai would apply to the next 4.

    Not to mention them running Strange Sights again next week and not changing it because of “reasons” they said which would make sense with him being the next release.

    Maybe they'll give us a Dr. Strange buff with that? Last week was the first one in awhile with no random, massive, unannounced 5* buffs.

    Wouldn’t Places of Power have been a fun alternate strange friendly event to run besides double strange sights?

    Hey @IceIX, if possible, can you please tell us who will be the Essential 5-star for Strange Sights 1/15 - 1/19?

    Thanks!

    Latest update reads:

    "1/12 - 1/16 Infinite Pursuit NEW
    Placement Rewards: Hit-Monkey (EDI), Doop, She-Hulk (Modern), Wolverine (Astonishing)
    Progression Rewards: Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Reptil, Wolverine (Patch), Ares

    1/15 - 1/19 Strange Sights NEW
    Placement Rewards: Arcade, Wiccan, Mystique, Moonstone
    Progression Rewards: Wong, Doop, She-Hulk (Modern), Wolverine (Astonishing)"

    Typically, Infinite Pursuit should have Wong in placement rewards, instead of Hit-Monkey. Is this intentional, @IceIX ?
