    Sorry for nagging, @Brigby (I think I've asked in several threads) but when does Vulture pop into the tokens? During his PVP? After his PVP? Start of next season?
    By precedent it seems to be the season after their pvp. So I expect in a week he'll be in tokens

    Psst @Brigby, you may want to look at the progression rewards for Divine Champions again. XFW doesn't have a red cover.

    Oh, and thank you for feeding the ever-hungry forumites our delicious info.

    Unless I'm mistaken all 4* enter at the start of the following season.  So Vulture will come in with the start of next season.  I don't think when the PvP event happens has any barring on it.

    Spider-Man vs Sinister Six     - (7/24/17) *New Update*
    Featured Characters:
    4-Star: Miles Morales
    3-Star: The Hulk (Indestructible)
    2-Star: Daken (Dark Avengers)
    So does this mean the 4* rewards will be 3 colors of Miles and the 3* 3 colors of Hulk mirroring the rewards of the last run?

    Yes, that seems to be correct. The next PvP Season is currently scheduled for July 27th, so I anticipate Vulture will be introduced into tokens that day.

    It did matter at least once. I think it was Carol whose PvP took place in the season following her release, so she didn't enter tokens until the next again season. Probably why we got her 4* lightning rounds, too.

    Somebody back in development must still have Surgical strike listed as red. That is some old stuff there, from when it destroyed rows and X-Force made an X-shape bunch of strike tiles.

    No, they're featured. I don't expect we'll see placement until Friday. Maybe tomorrow, but that seems early for developers to release that info.

    Characters enter tokens the season after their release cycle is complete, 

    Release Cycle:

    PVE Event
    Post-Release PVE Event (where they are the essential character)
    Pre-PVP Event (where they are given as a placement reward)
    PVP Event

    So their featured PVP event is the last event of the cycle, and for the past few seasons they've timed those events to be the last PVP of the season. Vulture will be available in tokens whatever day the next season's first PVP begins.

    I think Gamora ± Rocket / Groot fell into the tokens a few days before season started. I am not sure though.

    Guess I'll just have to wait and see, with aim for the 27th. :)
    According to my records, Gamora, Rocket & Groot, and Star-Lord entered tokens on June 1st, which was the first day of the Reality Season

    Woops! Good catch. I've now changed it to show that it rewards his Black cover

    As the day gets long and the weekend looms closer, can we please know what the rewards are going to be for the second run of the Sinister Six event on Monday?

    Darn. I put Starlord levels on hold. Probably go 5/5/3 and just use him as support in his PVP, if the boosted includes good green, yellow, black, red heroes. Could be a slow start to the season.

    Divine Champions - (7/23/17)
    [Test Run of Progression Reward Changes]  *New Update*

    Progression Rewards:
    4-Star: Wolverine (X-Force) - Black
    3-Star: Ragnarok - Green, Blue

    One would imagine that they would put some tastier bait on their fish hook for this test. People these days aren't exactly lining up for XFW and Rags.

    Black Vortex is regular progression, right?
    Also: that's the event that has the guardians of the galaxy boosted?
