    Next 4* obviously has to be Joaquin Torres, the new Falcon.

    CHARACTER / SUPPORT RELEASES

    01/09 “Spill the Tea…” 5 Star: Gorgon (X of Swords) / 3 Star: Gorgon (Hand Leader)
    01/23 “Birds of a Feather...” 4 Star

    Clearly THIS is an error in the clue-list... "Spill the Tea..." was NOT Gorgons' clue, hence "Birds of a Feater..." is the next 5 Star clue!

    It sure feels that way.

    Unless the Birds clue is based on British slang for women?

    Spill the tea... was very fittingly for Captain Britain as tea is a whole culture thing in England ;-)

    And with Brave New World coming up very soon, then it could possible be Redwing making his entry in MPQ! (...even though I had hoped for Red Harrison as new 3/5 star)

    But she is Captain Britain, not Captain England.

    In that case, the Devs would appear to have done their research on the whole of Britain by watching a Guy Ritchie film!

    Then again the expression "Birds of a feather" simply means ...of the same kind or nature. The clue can therefore be anybody who is somehow related by family or powers. But with the upcoming movie it seems pretty obvious.

    A 3/5 release with Cap and Falcon seems pretty obvious not least as the next Season is styled around the movie, although I guess they could throw a curveball and do 5 Cap/3 Issiah Bradley.

    5* Sam, 3* New Falcon?

    You would think so with I guess 4* Leader?

    3/5 star Red Wing with 4* Falcon in between. Love is "in the air"! :)

    Yeah sorry about that. We didn't have a clue for Gorgon so that misaligned the clues. All fixed now.

    I still don't understand the "Spill the tea" clue either? Is it because Captain Britain didn't use her focused totality to make a psychic tea cup?!?!

    Tea I guess.

    It makes me think maybe the next 5 isn't Captain America or else surely that clue should be "Fat guy eats the donuts!" Coz, y'know, fat donut America!

    Maybe because of the phrase “spill the beans”? It’s an American idiom, at least, meaning “telling a secret”. As a telepath etc she’d be good at finding your secrets….and she’s British….sooo?

    I googled it and it seems you are right about it being about being a big fat blabbermouth although I have never heard of it myself nor ever spoken to anybody ever who used such a phrase in my time so far in old Blighty. However, it should be said that I am not anywhere near as posh as Betsy is, who I bet has never been to a chip shop in East Ham, so it could just be that I am societally challenged and in need of a Henry Higgins to my Eliza Doolittle to educate me. Innit!

    So, I also googled it and apparently it's commonly used as social media/online slang and I guess I'm not TikTokian enough to have any idea about that. As in, I've used it for about 5 minutes tops in my life.

    Anyway it's not a British thing like I thought....I'm just old and not in the cool online circles that the devs apparently are.

    Oh geez, that explains it. I immediately shut off the minute my 14 year old opens his mouth in case the word(?) "skibidy" comes out and I couldn't even tell you how to TikTok, so yeah, right with you.

    Why it is almost like you have met me!

    Though sadly these days I can't get my knees up anywhere, not even Mother Brown.
