What 1 character do you want in the game. Your hypothetical selling story to D3/Demi.

Ok, so I would like a Villain, And I would like someone with a rich comic history, and I would like someone who can fulfill most of those criteria, while being firmly Marvel, so that there will be no Cross promotion screwups.  But most importantly, I want someone who is not ONLY a 4 or 5 star. So I guess the option is a self made 3/5 variant. I give you......

BATROC (The Leapair)

So obviously, his ridiculous comic costume  (Also available in cartoons!) 
Obviously going to be the 3 

   
The Leaper (Georges Batroc) (Villian, Thunderbolts)

 (PASSIVE) Master of LA SAVATE!
If there are no special tiles on the board, Batroc deals an additional XX Damage with every match. This bonus increases by XX every turn until any special tile appears. Further levels increase the damage dealt, (until level 5 which allows Friendly special tiles to exist, and still retain the bonus.) Batroc must deal the damage to gain the bonus damage.
Rank 1  10 Damage And Add 4 Damage every turn.
Rank 2  15 Damage And Add 7 Damage every turn.
Rank 3  21 Damage (150 at level 166, 213 at level 266) And add 10 Damage every turn. (Add 60 at level 166, 108 at level 266)
Rank 4  28 Damage (210 at level 166, 284 at level 266) And add 13 Damage every turn. (Add 91 at level 166, 168 at level 266)
Rank 5  35 Damage (280 at level 166, 355 at Level 266) And add 17 Damage every turn. (Add 119 at level 166, add 216 at level 266) Friendly tiles do not stop the damage count, or the additional damage.

Batroc is a master of unarmed combat, and so in a straight fight, with no tricks or powers, he can do a good bit more. Also this power screws him up hard against any of the instant tile makers, and even against goons. Which creates his, useless fool feeling, when a thug pulls a pistol on him. But curiously might make him really good at PVP, when you pick the opponents. However by it's wording, any special tile includes charged, web, repeater, and countdowns along with Strike, Protect, and Attack tiles.

9   LEAP!
Send The Leaper airborne, and deal XXX damage to target character when he lands. If The Leaper Still has 10 Yellow AP remaining, Subtract 9 Yellow AP and deal the same damage to a random enemy. 
Rank 1 Deal 212
Rank 2 Lower the cost of both aspects by 1
Rank 3 Deal 341 And Lower the costs of each aspect by 1 (Deal 900 at level 166 and 1454 at level 266)
Rank 4 Lower both costs by 1 and repeat the check for remaining AP again targeting a random enemy, until AP does not meet requirement of 7. 
Rank 5 Deal 448 Damage and repeat the check for remaining AP again targeting a random enemy, until AP does not meet requirement of 7. (Deal 1450 at level 166 and 2179 at Level 266.)

This ability lets Batroc waste AP, to deal repeated strikes and damage. Causing havoc even among the backline. of course this ability would be much stronger with Strike Tiles, but Batroc doesn't like those, further establishing his joke nature. It also allows for choice in player use, whether they want him to waste ALL their AP, or just half, and if they want the increased damage at level 5.


13   Men wizout honair deserve no mercy!
Batroc attacks savagely, removing dishonourable tools and attachments, to make a more fair fight. Deal XXX Damage to the targeted Enemy, destroy X random strike and attack tiles while also dealing an additional XX Damage for each Strike and Attack tile destroyed. 
Rank 1 Deal 120 and Destroy four random Strike or Attack tiles. Deal an additional 15 per tile destroyed.
Rand 2 Deal 200 and Destroy six random Strike or Attack tiles. Deal an additional 21 per tile destroyed.
Rank 3 Deal 295 and Destroy seven random Strike or Attack tiles. Deal an additional 28 per tile destroyed. (Deal 1199 at level 166, 1512 at 266, and an additional 210 at level 166, 284 at level 266 per tile) Damage dealt is not reduced by protect tiles.
Rank 4 Deal 405 and Destroy nine random Strike or Attack tiles. Deal an additional 35 per tile destroyed. (Deal 1716 at level 166, 2120 at level 266, and an additional 280 at level 166, 355 at level 266.) Damage dealt is not reduced by protect tiles.
Rank 5  Deal 650 and Destroy all Strike and Attack tiles. Deal an additional 35 per tile destroyed. (Deal 2650 at level 166, 3500 at level 266, and an additional 280 at level 166, 355 at level 266.) Damage dealt is not reduced by protect tiles.

this is a straight Nuke if the tiles are there. Synergy with MoStorm could be great. It also makes the player make more choices. At Rank Five, and max levels, if the board is full, this can deal five star damage. in the realm of 24k, Which is absolutely ludicrous. But that would require a bit of set up. or at least 35 Black AP, for two casts of Storm Black, and then his. On the other hand it also removes all your tiles as well. Which could be annoying. 

Closing Argument/Elevator pitch. Batroc is a fun Joke character, that helps round out villain numbers. He's neat enough to be cared about, popular enough and exposed in enough media to be known, and the dual release can help players, and fill coffers. He is also a fun joke anniversary character, and we know you love those. Just think, a CHASE 5:Star:

(I will do the MCU Georges (St.Pierre) Batroc later, after I work out his math. But he will basically be the same, just with higher numbers on purple, an airborne component on Yellow to keep him out of the fight, and sneak attacking on Yellow, and a mechanic to KEEP the AP of destroyed tiles on Black. Ala Old Surgical Strike. Till then, I hope people like Batroc, and I hope Devs are reading. I really want Batroc. )

Headpool, as a support for Deadpool.

I have no idea what he'd do, I just want it.

I want wonderman. He could be 4* no clue what his powers could be be besides an ionic burst that does a lot of damage. If you wanted to make him 5* he could have a passive where he doesn’t take damage from moves but takes triple damage from matches. 

• Plandanium Armor - Yellow (passive) : Rom's Armor reduces all damage dealt to him (1 cover - 10%, 2 covers - 20%, 3 covers - 30%, 4 covers - 40%, 5 covers - 50%).
  
• The Neutralizer - Blue (9 AP): When Rom fires the neutralizer it blasts the target and banishes them to Limbo (1 cover - 1000 damage and stunned for 1 turn, 2 covers - 2000 damage, 3 covers - 3200 damage and stunned for 2 turns, 4 covers - 4600 damage, 5 covers - 7000 damage and stunned for 3 turns)
  
• The Analyzer - Purple (5 AP):The Analyzer allows Rom to see things in their true form. (1 cover - temporarily reveal enemy trap tiles ala JJ's passive, 3 covers - cost reduced to 4 AP, 5 covers - cost reduced to 3 AP). (passive) Whenever an enemy steals or destroys AP deal damage to them (1 cover - 100 per AP, 2 covers - 150 per AP, 3 covers - 200 per AP, 4 covers - 300 per AP, 5 covers - 600 per AP.
  

**Instead of closing the topic due to being past the 30 day rule by about 2 weeks, I've moved it to the Speculation and Concepts subforum under Character Discussion. This would be the appropriate forum to have this discussion as well as you can see by the other threads in this section (minus all the polls, lol).**

Character: Jemma Simmons & leo Fitz

Star Level: 4*

Relevance: Regular in Marvel's Agent of Shield

Powers: strong support to allies.
1. Healing,
2. Genius level biochemist and tech expertise, 
3. Combatant 

Closing Argument: with rocket & Groot and cloak & dagger in the game, why don't we have another duo

I second this. 
I would love to see an animation of them in the lab together before throwing out their power in villain's face.

Character: Luis (MCU Character with Van)

Rarity: Support

Relevance: Ant-Man & the Wasp will be released on DVD and digitally in the not-too-distant future

Perks
Equip To: Heroes
Rank 1: The supported character's base Purple match damage is increased by (21 - 132).
Rank 3: Whenever the Supported character makes a match, there's a (8.00 - 50.00)% chance to fortify a friendly special tile.
Rank 5: Whenever the Supported characters fires a power, there's a (15.00 - 75.00)% chance to improve a random special tile by (26 - 225).
Equip to Ant-Man (Scott Lang): When the opponent matches either a Purple Pym Particle trap tile or Blue Small Time Crooks countdown tile, Ant-Man fires the "Grow" power for 50% damage.

Closing Argument: Nothing too exotic here.  It's a DVD tie-in for a memorable character who doesn't merit his own character based on comic lore.  

I've argued there needs to be a Luis Support that has a stun component, likely by adding a turn or turns to a stunned character. This would convey his propensity to add extraneous, unnecessary details to his long-winded stories. 

Nebula 4

Nebula: medium-low hp, good match damage

Hard to kill Purple: Nebula can dish it as well if not better than she can take it.

<passive> When she takes damage creates a strike tile of <cover> strength.

<Passive> Nebula just doesn't seem to ever be done.

When she is downed, create nebula tile. It can't be moved or match. Do <cover> damage to target.

Painful strike Red 10 AP. Nebula hits you and keeps hitting Do hard damage and create attack tiles on all tiles of color most present on the board.

All out attack Black 12 AP Nebula attacks with all the weapons she has.

Boost special tiles by <covers>. Do medium damage to target. If there are more than five strike/attack tiles do damage to enemy team.

There are many dupes in this game and this is not exactly a dupe, is an "evolution"...

DARK PHOENIX, of course 5* as this entity is one of the most powerful mutants of all times.

Powers... Red,Black and Yellow and one of them should be a nuke as she deserves.

One of the best sagas in X-Men comics not taken to the screen as it should (Sony...please go away) and a character that would be nice in the game.
