It’s been a Longshot…

Seriously, we NEED Longshot, Spiral, and Mojo in the game. I have such fond memories of the 6- issue series from ages ago. The artwork for that time was superb (and still is by today’s standards) and it was a fun story. I can’t remember the name of that beast that grew into a hated rival over the duration of the series, but he’d be a great fourth character to include. I think they hinted at the Mojoverse in their July Answers, and if it becomes a reality I’d be thrilled.

    You'll get more spider people and Symbiotes, I'm sure.

    Fun fact: Visually Longshot was based on this fella:

    Mog and Gog? Or something like that. Father and son team I think. Got to include Shatterstar as well. Mojo's servant could be a cool support for him. Can't remember his name.

    Symbio-Jo 5* incoming…

    If they made Mojo-verse as a Boss Event then it would be fun if instead of having health bars, Mojo has viewing figures and you have to reduce them to zero to get him cancelled.

    Spiral is a personal favorite so you have my vote.

    I would prefer Mojo to be a boss-type character and they do a double shot 5* release of Spiral and Longshot with a 4* Shatterstar.

    And maybe some 2* X-babies of Cyclops, Psylocke and Colossus.

    What would be really cool is if they designed the event with different channels that offered various unique rewards. So if a player picked the Mojo Wrestling channel, the reward pool would be focused on Shatterstar, while the Mojo Disco Channel would reward Dazzler and so on.

    After Silver samurai and Omega red, I figured Spiral was the next release to finish out the X-men Children of the atom arcade roster. Well, at least until they can add Akuma too

    Akuma would absolutely rock! I want him right now!

    Once we get Mojo & co, is there any chance we'll ever get a MC2 character or am I the only one who remember them?

  • DAZ0273

    4* Darkdevil would fit the bill. Or Spider-Girl of course.

    How about having all the X-Babies be one character? Powers could flip like Legion depending on the colors you have, or work multiple powers under one color similar to 5* Prof X.

    I have been saying this for years. Give me my Longshot.

    There was an unreleased 2* Cyclops that was supposed to come shortly after 3*'s release but it got shelved

    Pretty sure that character was reworked (a bit, he's mostly the same) into 4* Cyclops.

    I wonder if they’ll dust off Iron Patriot, the Xbox exclusive character ever?

    He was available on Playstation version too but the console version is so dull I never got anywhere near him so no idea what he actually does but it looks like he had one power which made critical tiles and something like Nick Fury's yellow. However doing some research it seems as though the console version was developed by a different games company and so possibly Iron Patriot's code is owned by them and so an exact port isn't possible?

    Maybe one for the Q&A?

    Yeah I’m sure he would need an absolute makeover, and he kind of just looked like a War Machine paintover visually, but that one star made of critical power seems like it would be good in the 5* game if it were cheap enough to fire
