    The 5* character that hasn't been featured for the longest time after Iron Man is Yelena (last featured July 2020). Bruce's last turn was January 2021. (note: the most ancient non-featured character is Thor whose last rodeo was in October 2019 but somehow he is a special case)

    The next 2 classics in the order list are Iron Man 46 and Hulk BB , barring they add one of the newer 5* that was not in the rotation last time . 

    Are we sure Banner is under "H" for Hulk and not "T" for "The Hulk"? If the latter is the case, then Jean Grey would be next. I'm not saying it is, I'm saying I don't know.

    We had Jean Grey relatively recently by my rotation she’s not due for about 8 months

    It's a completely made up order that has nothing to do with spelling. And they randomly changed the order this past cycle anyways, so who knows if it stays the same.

    They're weird in how they handle it. "Most recent run" doesn't seem to matter. Bruce's last run in the cycle was July 2020. The run in January was part of the Yellowjacket release, where he was subbed in so no character would be "skipped" in the 5e cycle. So it was out of turn and doesn't seem to count (as it happened between two other classic characters, Kingpin and Storm, and not as part of the normal 3Latest/2Classic cycle).

    So the next three Classics should be Iron Man, Banner, and then Yelena (who had her last Latest run after those two during the previous cycle, so she jumps into the Classic list after them in the next run; though as I said above, they randomly changed the pattern last cycle, so who knows if that will remain true or not).

    And yeah, something weird is going on with Thor outside of all that.

    Yelena went into the cycle just as she left LL so I wasn’t sure if they were putting her in after Bruce or it was a final LL hurrah. We will find out if it’s her or if not , Hawkeye .

    Would love to see the Sinister Six event updated to remove Goblin, Venom, and Carnage and add Mysterio, Electro, and Kraven. If you want to keep Goblin, then just remove the symbiotes and leave Kraven out.

    Throw in Kingpin and Prowler, and one more villain (Hobgoblin? Rhino?), and make a second event that's themed as "Miles Morales vs the Sinister Six."

    Wouldn't be perfect, but it would be an excuse for a whole new boss event, losing nothing in the process (don't have to cut any of the current six), and since Sinister Six is a little easier for alliances, it would mean easier boss events show up more often (since the new event ought to follow the same structure as the current one).

    I think it would be cool if they had 10-12 rotating villains for the Sinister 6 event so that sometimes you'd get the 6 we have now and next time a different 6 would be picked from the 10-12. That way each time the event was run it would feel different.

    Ooo I like that. Kinda mimics the comics, we know what it means when the Sinister Six shows up, even if there are variations depending on who makes up the Six. And it would still give the excuse of running it more often for the sake of event variety.

    Little disappointed that Towelyey is a 4* but glad to see him in MPQ 🤘

    Having Blob from X-Men movie could be fun. He could make a good counter to Polaris by reducing her damage to pathetic amount. But his abilities would look like 5* Colossus' or 5Witch's  though.

    Absorbing Man seems to be highly requested for a while in the forum. I think a lot of players guessed Absorbing Man when the clue for Legion was out. If it's him, maybe it will be something like Legion+Emma Frost.  Absorbing Man could have an ability that is similar to Kate Pryde+5Witch. It could be something like

    "At the start of the turn, create a repeater tile that collects the strength of all matched (enemy) strike, attack or protect tiles. When this tile is on the board, reduce all (power) damage by the total collected strength.

    Either way, these two characters feels like they are a hard counter to Polaris.

    I'm going to guess hit-monkey.  The hyphen in the clue is conspicuous.  Super-absorbent makes me think paper towels, and that leads me to Bounty or Brawny.  Bounty fits a hitman, and with hit-monkey show just announced, why not guess him...

    If it's Hit-Monkey, he could be a limited 4* character. He happens to be released in the month of MPQ Anniversary.

    4-Star Teaser: "Super-absorbent..." I am guessing Hulk's Villain Absorbing Man

    Probably wrong because of the hyphen in the clue, but possibly Sebastian Shaw?

    They added Magneto into the list in this round ( luckily I have him champed anyway) so it’s now updated to Iron Man, Mags, Hulk BB, and ( Yelena/ Hawkeye/ or new add).

    Vulcan is the only Summers brother not in the game, and energy absorption is one of his powers. Plus the "super" part of the clue could be referring to his Omega Level status.

    Its probably not him but it'd be cool to have him in the game.
