    Mine is 4Carol (usually black) 8 days a week and then every ONCE in a while I get Kingpin, Valkryie, or on my favorite days Coulson. I ALWAYS pull on Coulson days-wish that was the one I was stuck on, ha.

    I think it's interesting that there seem to be a few permutations of this bug beyond Carol. I get the Kingpins but neither Valk or Coulson (who I would also draw for), instead it's Misty Knight and Nick Fury.

    For me it's mostly carol black, then some bishop and silver samurai and very rarely someone else

    yeah I can confirm she shows up way way too often...there is not randomness in this cycle

    I had 4* Deadpool so pulled for him and now I have...Captain Marvel black. Hmm...maybe she is a tether point for the algorithm? Maybe it starts at CM black and then calculated random covers based upon sequence from that one but with it being busted it keeps repeating? Maybe Goose is in charge of the Spicy Taco vault now and this is her way of saying she needs feeding?

    Weird, I have rarely gotten Carols Black. I mean I've seen it a few times but not a whole lot like some posters here are seeing.

    On the other hand, I've only pulled from one of these twice in the last 3 months based on 4 star covers I wanted. Maybe if you pull from the vault, something is getting reset so that those who are pulling are getting stuck in a cycle? In other words those who see her Black a lot, does it seem to happen shortly after (1-2 days?) you pull from the vault.

    I'm on at least two days in a row with Carol black, and it might even be three.

    There might be something to this, since I'm pulling whenever something remotely useful for me comes up now, but I've gone more than a week without and it's still like 80% carol black.

    Back in the day, I remember playing lightning rounds and getting five or six purple Yelenas in a row as rewards. It happened many times, more than probability should allow. My guess was that a developer had included an easter egg called "crazy ex-girlfriend stalker".

    I think black Carol is the new crazy ex-girlfriend stalker.

    Been a long time since I've had a streak of covers in Lightning Round: 4 Moonstones in Oct.24 was the last one (far cry from the 6 or 7 covers in the previous years).
