    That was my first instinct when i saw the clue but not sure they’d make him since he’s already a support. 
    They've said before that they're not a fan of characters as supports and will eventually change them. Hence why they went ahead and made Hulkling anyway. So there's hope for Wong, Sharon Carter, Children of Thanos etc.
    And that's the stance of the NEW devs, even the old ones said that being a support didn't prevent the character from being playable in the future (though they never hinted at any plans to do it).

    I think Wong or Abomination could both work, and would be good extra tie-ins to She-Hulk.

    From the publishing arm: there is X-men and Moon Girl #1 dropping this month!
    also Ares on the cover of Punisher!
    then Hellfire Club is featured in this tie in to A.X.E!
    but Shadow King is central to New Mutants!
    Still there is the big spidey reveal with the yellow colors?!

    or is it Namor and Namorita? From Wakanda Forever? 

    Mind palace could be like an AI/imprinted consciousness of Tony Stark that works w/IronHeart? 3/5 could include the Gamora suit from What If?

    I think you left out the store thats supposed to go along with the Wasp rebalance, that’s why she’s boosted right?

    I think we can take extra comfort that if there is already an in game art asset in place for a character that character has every chance of making it into the game as playable. Karnak & Crystal are excellent examples of that.

    Mind palace = Taskmaster

    I can’t get that out of my head because of certain comics I’ve read. 

    But it’s not likely to be him. 

    Zemo has uploaded himself into computers. That could be interpreted as a housing, or palace, for his mind. 

    But that’s wishful thinking on my part. 

    Just to give myself three wrong guesses, and throw another name I’d like to see, Fantomex is mentally and physically connected to EVA which could be a loose interpretation of a palace. Or having multiple brains could make his body a palace of minds.

    Blasphemy. Omega Red is anything but boring.

    But if we want a meme character to ask for it could be Chairman or Grizzly.
    We shall have to agree to disagree.

    Wait this is based on those featured in Marvel v Capcom characters?!?!? Oh in that case let's have Marrow! Not because she is good but the idea of somebody who throws bones at her enemies was always kind of funny. There could be a mini game with Lockjaw!

    Imo the ratio on people knowing characters is greater in gamers rather than comics readers, I could be wrong. 
    And you know devs, if some day marvels characters are out, you could do some crossover and release Nemesis with his bazooka and the old pal Ryu.

    I think it maybe depends on what era you were playing. Marvel v Capcom 2 is pretty heavy with comic book characters and so a lot of people knew them from that but like Cable & Spiral they would have had zero exposure without that game. Fast forward to Marvel v Capcom Infinite those Marvel characters are in the game because they have been in the MCU. If Cable popped up in a new MVC game it would likely be because he was in a new Deadpool movie or something. MPQ plays pretty fairly from all sources in my opinion with who we get (though lots disagree).

    If there's going to be a crossover, I'd rather have Kool-Aid Man.

    Will Gorr have one more rotation as the Essential 4-star?

    So with the 3* and 5* Omega Red Madisynn being announced later this week, I would like to remind everyone that the ISO well is dry and it will take years to catch up. For established players this isn’t a big deal, since most are post-iso anyways. For anyone pre or early 5* it gets more daunting every character release. I completely understand this is part of the plan to drag out the game for everyone and create pinch points to kraken through. I hope the developers are looking for ways for players to obtain this particular resource so we can actually use the characters we are constantly grinding to cover. 

    Rant over. Please enjoy the program already in progress.

    We stopped guessing Omega Red when Russia invaded Ukraine; it was Shuma Gorath for a minute, but then we got him so there hasn’t really been a good one yet. I’ll probably start angling for Mojoverse characters like Longshot and Mojo, or Liefeldians like Shatterstar and Feral at some point. 

    Worth saying that I Unironically want all these characters, they just seem unlikely any time soon.

    Ooh, we can request the Shatterstar from Deadpool 2! Or we can guess Madisynn, that will never get old fast.

    The new dev skipped answering questions about Omega Red twice or thrice in a row. That's very telling. However, there are two ways to look at this.

    For the Liefeld track I would like to say 5 Star Stryfe. He is sort of a hole missing considering the Summers, Sinister, Apocalypse connection….but then maybe we need Maddie as Goblin Queen as well.
