Just saw the new vault for supports, and then saw the new Support.
Do we really need a new support for each new character? I guess this means we won't see him as an actual character...

I guess this means we won't see him as an actual character... A support of a character does not mean that the character cannot exist on their own. It just means that Hulkling (Young Avengers) would not be released in particular. It also goes without saying that any released character that has a support version could not equip themselves...
That makes sense, though to be frank there are so many Marvel characters out there that it hardly makes a difference - you could close off more than a few and not have a huge impact.
Like Broll said, though, you keep releasing new supports while there are very few ways to actually get supports. I mean, I'm kind of having fun with them, but I don't see this as particularly useful. The bigger the pool, the harder it is to get the ones you actually want, and unlike character covers these are entirely RNG based.

It also goes without saying that any released character that has a support version could not equip themselves... Could they be equipped by a character who fights alongside that character? For example, say some future Marvel Comics event does inspire the release of a playable version of Hulklin. If I have Hulkling (Young Avengers) equipped to Wiccan (Billy Kaplan), can I then form a team that contains both Wiccan (Billy Kaplan) and Hulkling (World War Hulkling), or do I have to first un-equip my Hulkling (Young Avengers) support?Forcing me to unequip sounds like a really complicated set of rules to cover a really weird edge case.Not forcing me to unequip seems to break the spirit of the rule that forbids different versions of the same character fighting together. After all, my team now contains two copies of Hulkling, even though Hulkling is not directly equipped to Hulkling.Of course, the rules for this are already pretty confusing; my Web Shooters say they give a bonus when I make them "equip to: Spider-Man", but in fact they only work when they're equipped to some version of Peter Parker; Miles Morales gets no such bonus, even though his mag is called Spider-Man and his subtitle is Spider-Man.

Ice first thanks for jumping on the forums and talking to the players.for grim’s post part of the issues we hav with supports is there is only a limited way to get supports, extremely limited resources to level supports, and a lot of the new supports feel like they are designated for one specific character and not to be used for anyone. Now I know you can place a support on any character we choose but the way supports are now they “FEEL” like they are meant for a specific character.from my perspective how are you looking to make supports more accessible to get and have the ability to level?
