Boss Event Kingpin?

Oh and ha ha - boosted Jane. I haven't actually used her in ages so time to get on the bandwagon!

"merged genetics"

Maybe something to do with the "true chimera" stuff going on with Mr Sinister...

Combining multiple X-men into one...

I don't know anything about the actual characters involved.. But maybe one of them.

Every character with parents who were known characters...Would qualify.

I'm not really sure what..."your powers combined"... Means, but...

Maybe Captain Planet.

I'm just going to say Night Thrasher as my guess though because I just really want him in the game.

Or it's honey badger and weapon hex 😏

DAZ0273

New clue is "Teen Machine".

Although I do note that LEAP for a Leap Year which must surely mean Batroc Ze Leaper, Non?

3* Teen Batroc, from the past brought forward to convince his future self to not be evil
5* Machine Batroc, from Warp World, an amalgamation of Vision / Batroc, a phase shifting synthezoid that leaps

Well, they could put the new clue on the 2/8 entry.

Hammer3001

Victor Mancha: teen cyborg from the Runaways.

Good guess! So here's a possible cover.

or this one

SaltnPeppa

Although why Victor Mancha? Is it because of this year's return of Ultron where Red Skull is re-assembling him in Avenger's Twilight and Avenger's Inc. series?

If that's the case, we should have gotten Red Skull first

Spoiler Alert, if anyone hasn't read the Jan 2024 issues.

DAZ0273

We don't even have Molly or Chase let alone whoever the hell that guy is. I appreciate we have been scraping the very bottom of the barrel for quite a while now but surely there must be somebody robot-y better than random brat with very punchable face. Is Jocasta busy having a WD40 body spray? Did Machine Man interface with the toaster again and is in the repair shop? Crikey I would settle for Widget and that is just a floating robot tortoise head thing

DAZ0273

I'm still sort of confused about the Kingpin Boss Event. Was it maybe meant to tie-in with Echo? I haven't checked and he hasn't survived long enough to confirm but I assume KP's powers are just basically the 4* ones and nothing fancy?

bluewolf

The Echo tie in makes sense, as she is part of the rewards for individual progression. He’s the villain in the show.

I had already sort of forgotten about Echo as I am far behind on MCU shows and just filed it under “someday I’ll get to it, maybe”.

DAZ0273

My thoughts on the Echo TV Series for what they are worth

The Echo TV show was largely pointless. They have given her unnecessary powers that have nothing to do with her comic book version and do not compliment her skills as an assassin in the slightest bit, very little happens including both DD and Kingpin's appearances which are underwhelming (OK the DD fight scene is quite cool BUT it doesn't have useful plot reason to happen) and all of this could have easily just been taken care of in a single future Daredevil episode.

entrailbucket

I just noticed that the heroic version of the boss event gives out the Netflix Daredevil costume!

That's the rarest MPQ costume and the only one I don't have. Every other costume has been sold for either HP or real money. The Daredevil costume has ONLY been offered as part of a 250CP offer (or was it 500? I forget). I believe it's only been offered once, as well.

Excited to finally complete the set!

I was psyched to see that too! Most of the others have just been "yay, 500hp" but I'm excited for this one.

Scofie

I got that costume at the time and he's been happily wearing it ever since. Does anyone know when it came out?

I think around the same time the first season of daredevil on Netflix came out

KGB

I have it too.

But no recollection of how I got it as I know it wasn't via $. So it must have been something else (HP offer?)

@entrailbucket - I can't believe you have every other costume! Clearly you buy every costume bundle to have such a collection. I've got a fair number (esp since VIP now giving out 1 a month) but no where near a complete collection.

It was much later than that. DD Season 1 came out in 2015 and the first MPQ costumes were 2018 and the DD suit was 2019. It was a 300CP offer.
