    I think the next characters will be Fantastic Four related. Here are my guesses.

    4* Shalla-Bal
    Earth X, issue #12, Apr 2000. Alex Ross.

    Unless they spoil Moleman, in this case I will :D

    4* Moleman
    Fantastic Four: Into The Depths - An Infinity Comic, issue #5, June 2025. Eric Gapstur.

    and my guess for 5* is Galactus

    Fantastic Four - Epic Collection: The Coming of Galactus (Trade Paperback). Jack Kirby

    but I prefer this cover, which I hope the developers will use in the future for those cover swaps.

    Hunger, issue #1, July 2013. Adi Granov.

    That Earth X cover is actually by Alex Ross. John Paul Leon did internal pencils.

    That's be pretty sweet (though ascended 4* Shalla-Bal would have to be comically superior to Silver Surfer because of power creep & him not being good to begin with), but I'd guess we're not done with G.I.R.L. and Daughters of Liberty yet since they eventually tie into F4 via Sue.
    I will guess:
    4* Nadia Van Dyne (Wasp)
    5* Sue Storm (Future Foundation)

    I wish they had run DP v MPQ over the holiday weekend instead of next weekend, but oh well.

    Man, these boost weeks are always so feast or famine for me. This week... I can run Beta Ray bill with hex23 or polaris, I can run 1a5 spidey with 1a5 yelena or either one of them with gladiator hulk, I can run 2a5 electro with mthor, or I can make a team with 2a5 Ares or phoenix jubilee. There are too many good options to choose from...

    Next week.... I can play 1a5 black widow with.... somebody I guess..

    That'll require a new build to fix and likely a next week thing since we were prioritizing getting the latest Steam build updated yesterday.

    Mine isn't ascended yet, he's one of the few 4's I don't have yet.

    Well I guess I slept on 2a5 thor and 2a5 bullseye. They're both pretty strong when boosted to over lvl 600

    Not sure exactly how you’d use 2thor effectively given his ap requirements. Maybe if I had both green supports at r5.

    Mine is 497 unboosted so I’d love to hear ideas….

    I hope you are right about Galactus. I have asked them twice about adding Galactus in the Q and A and both times it was resounding, no. I would have asked for a third but no q and a since January.

    If they ever make Big G playable ... once upon a time that seemed unimaginable but they have since made many godlike villains playable (Gauntlet Thanos, God Doom, Knull, etc) ... he should either lock out the other two team slots, or only be usable with heralds.

    It's a team game, Galactus is not a team player.

    But ... they resurrected Gwen Stacy a jillion times over, so about the only thing remaining sacred is Uncle Ben being dead.

    (He is still dead ... right? Hasn't been revealed as the face behind the umpteenth and supposedly ultimate rendition of a [whatever]goblin? yet?)

    Ben is alive in the new Ultimate Spider-Man series (which is great BTW), and May is dead instead.

    I really doubt it’s Galactus….

    H.E.R.B.I.E. is in the movie and seems much more our devs’ style.

    That reminds me that Disney own a second Herbie and I'm not sure which one of them I would rather have!
