    Another great candidate for a 6* is Master Mold.

    Master Mold ISN’T a cosmic character, so no. 6* is for cosmic characters only. Try a celestial instead.

    To quote this details listed in this thread:

    "Initially, these characters will focus on extremely powerful or iconic Marvel figures, setting a high benchmark for the rarity. Over time, we’ll expand our horizons to include other characters, keeping the roster dynamic and exciting."

    Just FYI because I'm not certain where you're getting the "cosmic characters only" info.

    I read that elsewhere. Either whoever wrote it was wrong or I am.

    Dormammu and The Living Tribunal are other characters I hope make the 6* roster.

    Quasar is one cosmic character I hope we never see.

    Why the Quasar hate?

    I’ll add some more! Maybe the head band? I never knew if he was saving the earth or getting ready to play tennis.

    Maybe for the 4th one we can finally get Forearm

    I recall there was a theory that 4* characters were all "leaders" in some way once they were released regularly. It kind of holds true with a few exceptions.

    Wolverine/Invisible Woman (at the start, before regular release)

    Fury (SHIELD)
    Thor (okay, maybe not)
    Elektra (The Hand)
    Star-Lord (Guardians of the Galaxy)
    Professor X (X-Men)
    Kingpin (Maggia)
    Iron Man (Avengers? theory starts falling apart)
    Carnage (definitely not)

    It wasn't set in stone or anything, but I would venture that 6* Cosmic might last a few releases then settle into something like the 5* cadence

    As a retired Army bomb guy this is funny for multiple reasons. Thank you.

    I fully support this decision and believe you should have a spot on the dev team.

    I logged in for the second time today after quitting eight months ago and had to come here to see if a six star was actually a real thing. This had me laughing so hard. I’m very glad I stopped playing when I did.

    Galactus is actually a real thing that at the current pace I’ll have 13 covers for in late 2026 and then there’ll be 6 more, so good job to the devs on making another impossible to complete goal (being caught up on 6s) for FTP-to-small spenders.

    I mean, that's kind of the name of the game with any mobile game. I didn't get my first 5 stars covered and leveled up until months after 5 stars were introduced and the whales had every 5 star fully covered.

    I'm FTP/small spender (I only buy an occasional VIP or costume bundle with my google play credits I earn through their survey app) and I am now at the point were I have a few dozen 550's and every 5 star in the game champed.

    In these games you have 2 options - pay now with money or pay in the long run with your time grinding. I also play marvel contest of champions almost as long as I've been playing MPQ and in that game I haven't' unlocked a single 7 star character or even fully leveled up any of my 5 or 6 stars. But in that game I pay nothing at all and don't play very often, so I don't get nearly as far.

    This is how every mobile game I have ever played has been. Pay to get the new characters and level them up now, or grind to do it eventually.

    It took me literally years and years to get a first 5* champed. And I have always spent a bit here and there. "MPQ is a marathon not a sprint", has that not always been the mantra?

    I fully agree with this. I've been playing since the beginning but always felt behind others. I spent conservatively here and there, but couldn't justify the crazy spending others do.

    But once I crossed a threshold of certain 5s and meta characters it was like hitting another gear where rewards rolled in at a higher rate.

    I fully get that many mobile games set up goals that are impossible to achieve for the vast majority of players.

    This game already had that with ascension because you were never ever going to 550 everyone, most likely, since dilution constantly works against that goal.

    Anyway yeah. It’s whatever! When the game ends we’ll all have various numbers of goals we kind of wish we’d achieved. It’s just a bit weird that they designed 6s to be beyond even people who have 550 rosters and place well consistently to even get one cover quickly, let alone champing them as they are released.

    And even a whale who’s bought every offer has maybe 2.75 covers now and that’s it after 2.5 weeks.

    I have 131 550s as of today (including dupes) and another 151 characters at lvl500 or better. "Everyone to 550" has been my goal since 550 became the max level, and it's closer than ever!

    I don't think there are tons of endgame rosters that look like mine, but there are plenty of players who could use hoarded resources and swaps to instantly 550 any character of any tier.

    My wife hoards to an insane degree. She even has thousands of tokens just sitting there reading "99+" everywhere you look.

    If she ever bothers to open everything (or let's me do it for her) I have no doubt she could max whatever she wanted, except Galactus.
