    Never heard of her. Hey Devs can we please get Banshee sometime in this game. Sean Cassidy is long overdue

    I think they're worried that a number of players are only remaining in the game to wait for Banshee to be added and once he's released and people have him there will be no reason to keep playing and waiting.

    They can't release Banshee until he has the Leprechaun Support to go with him and god knows where we are at on Supports right now. It is a vicious circle encased in a nasty square.

    That said I have no idea either who she is.

    Hmm...maybe I have more questions on her. So an alien ship called POD crash landed on earth and then bonded with her? I mean is that it? Is that why the alien ship came to Earth or was this all just one big accident? Did she want to be bonded? Is..is the suit holding her prisoner?!?!? I tried reading her Marvel Database bio and it was like it had been written by somebody high on drugs typing with their kneecaps. Here is an excerpt:

    When Bobby Da Costa became the leader of A.I.M., he rescued Pod and stored her in his office.[8] After he decided to tackle the problem the incursions represented, Sunspot sent Pod with Shang-Chi to Japan, to activate the self-replicating mechanism for Earth, that created an army of duplicates of Shang-Chi.

    Is that a comic book plot or is somebody having a seizure?!?! Look I know comic books don't have to be deep literature or anything but I would rate Hulk Smash! as a more coherent storyline than that.

    "Alien crashes on earth and bonds with her"

    Maybe the writer's favorite comic book movie is Spider-Man 3 and if so, that means they were the one on drugs.

    Whenever I read the Marvel database there’s always a few paragraphs where I wonder who approved this storyline and how a comic book conveyed these incredibly complex and confusing plot lines. I have to assume some of it is based on creator interviews because there’s no way a 32 page 4 paneled story got these points across.

    Exposition dumps are a heck of a drug.

    Begorah! I had no idea the Leprechaun problem was so bad! I thought the culling budget had been upped but clearly not! I’ll warn my in-laws, they normally go West Cork at least once a year, so they do, so they do.

    Another needlessly complicated mechanism that does paltry damage/ mitigation. Bravo...

    At least the visual design of the suit is well done and is aesthetically pleasing. Oh, and her face doesn't look constipated (5* Sam) or like she's midway through a stroke with glowing eyes (4* Rambeau).

    Just a heads up that we've updated her Yellow ability to clarify how it sends and damages Airborne enemies specifically.

    I don’t know if anyone (ahem, sandbox) has covered her yet but my working theory is you choose on your roster whether she starts Heavy or Light at battle start (selecting one or their other on her purple) and go from there.

    That's exactly how she works. She has a "learn" button on the power like Taskmaster or Doop does.

    So nobody feeds this character IE no champion rewards? Guess I will wait for PVE rewards or something

    Aikku Jokinen (Enigma)?!?! Seriously?!?! And still no Wonder-man? Heck, I’ll take an Absorbing Man or any relevant Alpha Flight character, Vindicator (Guardian), Sasquatch?
