I hope there will ultimately be some sort of progression reward component to them, but I did prefer dual boss events too. Boss event plus a standard PVE for what it’s worth.
From Twitter/X:
This must be one of the lesser tie-ins we have had assuming that is what it is for (could just be random I guess). I did a google search and Peni racks up an incredible 13 seconds in Across the Spider-verse screen time, making Rescue look like the star of Endgame!

I read about her when I saw the original Spider-Verse movie - she's basically a bit more light-hearted "Neon Genesis Evangelion" version of Spider-Man. Conceptually, it's pretty neat IMO.
I gotta say, it's really weird to see all the complaints on FB.

Seems about normal to me!
At least Reddit probably loves this, right?

Oh.
Welp, everyone getting sick of the spider characters. Not a surprise, really.
Somebody did give me a chuckle on FB when they suggested a symbiote version called Penom.
I just hope she feeds someone, another 4 who doesn't feed wouldn't be great.
If she doesn't feed Venom-Dino then I think they will take Devil Dino out of Limited status and give it to him (probably at Anniversary). Unless there is a 5/3 Miles somewhere down the line.
One would expect 4* Miles to feed that hypothetical 5* Miles.
Agreed. Not entirely sure a 5* Miles is going to be wildly different anyway. The downside to some of these 5 & 3s is that the 4* version if they exist is often already iconic.
Oh well I guess we either find out today via a very later forum update or we find out tomorrow via in game.
Ha ha - Reddit for the win with this:
Can we have a break from spider verse? Please add marvel classics like Gladiator, Cyber or Black heart. Ty
Oh lordy, now that is funny!!!
Probably penny will be pretty op as many spider characters, while poor peter parker has 6 iterations in the game and after 3* tier slowly it becomes worse with each one.
I wanted for 5* Pete to get a rebalance but it seems not many other people fancied that idea JUDGING BY HIS CLASSIC PACK VOTE POPULARITY. He and Gwenom might have been able to work together if between them they could produce a few more web tiles or something. I dunno about the Dinosaur, I haven't really got him covered or anything.

I don't know how many times I can say this -- MPQ has like a billion characters already and they've added basically everyone who has ever or will ever matter. They've been scraping the bottom of the barrel for years now.
Complaints about new characters always end up being "What an outrage! I can't believe they're adding [relatively unknown guy X] before adding [relatively unknown guy Y]!!!"
Yeah aside from some big name villains, there is definitely a boatload of characters already present. I can definitely see why the early game would have shied away from providing playable villains but I feel the current game nobody really cares about the fictional component of heroes are players and villains are AI.

You wanted 5* Pete to get a paste pot.
I guess you could argue the following heroes are strangely absent:
Banshee - member of the team of X-Men that basically made them superstars (I don't count Sunfire as he was around for like 2 issues but he is also absent) even if he does have a castle filled with leprachauns
Hank Pym
Wonder Man - canonically the Avengers second new member apart from the founders. YMMV on him but I think he is an important Marvel character.
Tigra - I am a bit 50/50 on this one but I guess she is a founding Whacko (West Coast Avenger)
Hercules
I suppose you might consider some of the Alpha Flight people. Maybe Vindicator, Sasquatch, Shaman, Snowbird.
Everybody else seems to be in the class of "personal favourite luxury" and I include my own repeat request Captain Britain in that. The first 4 in 1 character of Power Pack would also be very pleasing but understandable as obscurish. Then a bunch of New Mutants or minor characters like Gargoyle or some of the mystical crew.
Anybody else (heroes?)
Oh and of course Paste Pot Pete for villains but we don't even need to question that one unless it was the Hypno Hustler...
