As much as I would have liked Gambit to be a 4* for accessibility purposes, these descriptions does not make any sense for Nightcrawler (he mush have his teleport in some kind of way... and that would imply invisibility or something like that). I think this is Gambit. Also the order says that after Rogue we will have a 5*, and Gambit is the chosen one.

Sure, you can't see him while he's teleporting, but the duration of that is practically zero. More likely they'll represent his teleporting with either a Bamf! rescue or a teleport frenzy, or that 'offensive teleport' thing he does where he teleports with unwilling targets multiple times to disorient/exhaust them.In any case, I think it's pretty likely that this is Gambit, as he and Rogue have traditionally been a pair. "First, we charge the card..."
Ezrius said: Actually, Nightcrawler also has an ability where he becomes invisible when in dark shadows. It's been touched on several times and also forgotten by many writers over the years, but it's a thing.
zodiac339 said:How about something like "Nightcrawler converts a selected basic [color dependant?] tile into a 4-turn (fortified?) Countdown tile (Bamf! tile) which sends Nightcrawler airborn for 1 turn at the end of each of your turns." Probably deal damage to random enemy when landing or have a passive "(Passive) Nightcrawler deals X damage to a random enemy when landing from an airborne status." Could even add "When this countdown expires, stun enemy for X turns (random or targeted, not sure which)".Thing is, Nightcrawler is a good candidate for both airborne and invisible abilities. There was one issue I read where he was crawling through ventilation, and a camera showed that in the shadows, he became partially transparent. Proabaly looking at the idea of a passive "if there are X black tiles on the board, Nightcrawler becomes invisible". EDIT addition, Imagine that when using Cloak and Dagger, and their passive suddenly makes the enemy Nightcrawler invisible before you can finish him off. What a pain!
ZootSax said: Assuming this is Gambit or Nightcrawler, based on the Marvel.com article for Rogue, do we think this will be another 3*/5* release or just a 5*? Nothing about a 3* was mentioned anywhere, but they've been pretty consistent releasing 3* versions of the 5* characters when no 3* of that character exists...
Jaedenkaal said:Ok, sure. But they've only got 3 powers to work with; I'm not sure "invisible in the shadows" is going to make the top 3, between teleporting, sword-play, teleporting, and also teleporting. Plus, that's pretty close in flavor to BSSMs shadowy acrobatics, and I'm hoping he'll be more... unique.. than that.

I'm not saying I want him to have an invisibility power, I'm just saying there's precedent. He has invisibility or stealth powers in almost every game he's appeared in. That said, I'm generally not a huge fan of invisibility powers, so I won't complain if the set focuses more teleportation, swashbuckling, and trickery.

vinsensual said: There's gonna be a deluge of complaints, from me alone, if his black is gonna block red and purple powers without a self imposed means of disabling it.*His own purple sounds really cool though. It was always super annoying whenever an enemy Yelena teamup would replace my special tiles with crits.

BlackBoltRocks said: His Black could be beneficial if you team him up with Thano5, especially on defence, to prevent Thanos's purple from locking the board and blocking your own board-changing moves
