We do the same for any other implemented but unreleased characters. Him having been around a while is also why he's a third Wolverine and not a new character. We originally planned less characters, more alts. Post launch we quickly saw that the opposite would be the better way to go for the forseeable future. Patch, I believe, is the last relic of the Character Clone Wars. Doesn't mean we won't do alts in the future, but new characters will be far more common than them.

I dont really know the full dark reign story but I think we should get emma frost or jean. I also said woman because we have more guys and not enough girls for characters.It would add variation if we ever get another women only tournament.
