    Still potential for a 4* Falcon release who could be a feeder but we will know soon enough.

    Does the yellow passive buff mean that every turn he’s airborne, he buffs all tiles by 50%? Or that he applies a 50% buff when he’s airborne, that is removed when he returns?

    This movelist looks like it’s gonna have some DIRT. I can’t wait to try him out!

    Red power at 550 lvl, is the damage number correct? "Deal 117318 damage to the target". Seem quite a large jump from 8012 at 450lvl.

    Most definitely a typo. I've corrected it.

    The first non-3/5 release in a while is Sam. Not the best timing.

    I called it poor timing. I don't think the devs are racist. I am a little surprised that no one thought of it, though. They could've picked a different character just to avoid even the appearance of something amiss.

    I for one am excited to see a potentially good version of such a turd character. 3 and 4star variants have been disappointing to say the least.

    Depending on how his blue reacts, he could go from "likely fun and ok" to "good"!

    Lets pull out Boregon and get this guy in there next week!

    3* Falcon combined with 4* Wasp won me many fights back in the day, I will defend him! Flaptain on the other hand...

    Presumably the feeder will be 4* Sam Wilson, and Heimdall will get a new feeder?

    I hope so. I have a 370 cap falcon and dupe with over 50 saved covers. The retro rewards will be nice once they go live and I champ the dupe then ascend the 370.

    wouldn't you want to champ the dupe now already, so you get the LTs / other stuff and then the covers / shards as retro?

    I don't have enough Iso atm to champ him now. If I get enough before he goes live in game I will do that.

    I'm confused. Why is this not the best timing? The movie comes out next week. We didn't even have a 5* two months ago. And there already is a 3* Sam Wilson. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    "Sam Wilson taunts his enemies, drawing their attention from his teammates." Then goes airborne so the enemies can't attack him.

    They might be referring to the exclusion of Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon.

    It's because he's black. The very first character (in a long time) that didn't get a 3/5 simultaneous release is the black guy. He's also one of the first releases after they nixed cover swaps for the elites to get an immediate 550.

    Again, I am NOT calling the devs racist. I am simply pointing out that the timing didn't sync up well.

    I cannot stop thinking that his picture at the start of this thread looks like a Hot Toys figure.

    4-Star should be Isaiah Bradley Captain America.

    Next month should be 5-Star Red Hulk & 4-Star Leader.

    April should be 3/5-Star White Tiger & 4-Star Muse.

    I think we'll get a 4* Daredevil and I wouldn't be completely upset with a 5* Punisher.
