    Woohoo!! Finally get my Toad, my favorite X-Men villains bingo card is finally complete! Omega Red, Sabertooth, Silver Samurai, the Blob, Magneto, Juggernaut, and now finally Mortimer Toynbee. The 90’s cartoon is what made me a Marvel fan. I hope he gets some good powers. I’m picturing something where he bounces around the board destroying tiles, and maybe something with his tongue where he steals tiles. Maybe he could be a counter for JuggsSam. Maybe have him bounce to a tile and destroy it if it’s not an SAP (up to 3 for example) and if it is an SAP tile steal it and bounce to a new random tile. Maybe a stun that wraps up an enemy with his tongue. Or something where he goes airborne and brings down an airborne enemy with his tongue. Anyway, just glad he’s finally in the game, thank you!! 😊

    This will be an opportunity to find out what happens to a Toad that is struck by lightning!

    I saw the new Toad in game art and I am begging the devs to get Sex Pest Toad replaced with traditional Toad or Ray Park Toad....

    Ugh. Creep factor at 11.

    Any news on the Agent of Atlas make-up vault yet?

    I note that the old Campaign node, some of them, now have roster slots in the node rewards. (well, they're old to me and vets, new to anyone starting the game).

    The nodes remain locked so you can't get to them if you already cleared the campaign, which is why they sent out the 250 HP to everyone (essentially the value of those early slots, or something close to it).

    It's nice to see their expertise is advancing so quickly.

    @TheMigz When your team gets the chance, please redesign Toad's art. It's very unsettling to say the least.

    Feel free to use one of the arts on X-Men card collectibles like this. From Jim Lee.

    Haha, I like his look! But for some reason it looked fuzzy on my iPhone, like it was out of focus. That’s the 1st time I’ve ever noticed that happening.

    I concur with this….or just hear me out

    Rob Liefield…I mean Toad has feet! What more could you want!

    This can't be right for Toad's black power, is it?

    EDIT: that's at 1-cover, not 5.

    Don't worry, this is fixed on our side. Just hasn't made it out front yet. Accidental tiny asset.

    Well I hope you're happy, they already nerfed the black AND the pink. Blue still good though :)

    Huh, kind of an odd design, as he kicks out charged tiles all over the place, but doesn’t really get a payoff for them…

    I don’t know that it’s a nerf as much as just a correction. Similar to Falcon’s 40 turn airborne prior to release, there’s no way a 4 star would put that many charged tiles on the board for so cheap.

    They probably just use placeholder numbers or something of the sort to upload the characters assets into the system and go back to put in the real values after the fact.

    It’s really only a nerf if they change things after the numbers have been confirmed via gameplay or a preview post (once we start getting them again)

    Depending on the wording of the Blue passive (does he count himself as 'ally and brotherhood') he'll create 16 charged tiles (6+6+4) on turn 0 with Tinkerer support for Frankie.

    If he does that he'll be very useful character in PvE with Frankie/May.

    Wonder if he will be better/worse than bringing Riri in as the third.
