    Aikku Jokinen (Enigma)?!?! Seriously?!?! And still no Wonder-man? Heck, I’ll take an Absorbing Man or any relevant Alpha Flight character, Vindicator (Guardian), Sasquatch?

    There are a ton of well known marvel characters that should be in the game before Aikku. I understand its for pride and what not but still.

    Oh, ok, so that’s why this particular character, now. So, a 60th year anniversary wasn’t enough to get us a Wonder-man.

    Wonder Man is one of the characters not in game with the most appearances and a hero, which they typically prefer to add over villains.

    He also has a show coming in December so you have to imagine their plan for the year includes adding one or more versions of WM then.

    Yeah, makes me wonder who if anybody from Ironheart TV show they will do - logic being The Hood as a 4 or 5 but they might just give us a costume or something and not a villain release only.

    Yes. “Nobody” is definitely a choice for further tie-in they can make, considering Rescue 2.0 is Ironheart‘s gal pal and Achoo is Rescue’s girlfriend.

    I am a bit unsure how they would do a 5* Hood exactly as far as distinguishing his appearance as the one in the show seems to pretty much be the classic look (guy wearing….a red hood).

    Remember when they gave us a 3* Miles Morales just based on his shoes? They could do that but because he has boots. The Hood (Booty). No wait, that is a different sort of show.

    The Hood recently became a ghost rider in the comics. This version seems like he would be a good fit as a 5 star and would simultaneously promote the comics and the TV show.

    Man, wearing a hood when your head is on fire must contravene all sorts of fire safety regulations unless it was a fire dampening safety hood. But I guess, your head is on fire so...bigger problems.

    Fair point, but I think we have plenty of Ghost Riders/Spirits of Vengeance.

    Although Cosmic Ghost Rider? Ok, maybe him. That’s it.

    I'm still not over getting a 5 star sentry/void. Seems a glaring omission.
    If rumour is to be believed ironheart is going to be a load of old guff and not sure who we would get from f4 seeing as we have the entire cast already.
    I feel we need some sort of kickstart whether it be the new engine or something to engage the players as I feel, personally, the game has become stale quite quickly.

    That's Michael Cho's art, not Frank's. Cool cover.

    If it had been Frank Cho, they would have had less clothes on.

    Ironheart has been pushed back so many times that I think we've already gotten a few characters from it. I'm pretty sure Darkveil was one. Toni Ho is supposed to be in the show too, I think.

    They finally found a fun opening node for Welcome to SHIELD that highlights what the character does well. I might have to invest in Aikku. She's a natural partner for Toni Ho and has a nice specific niche use against airborne.

    I was trying to use the hardest node to run through her quests and Toni kept melting everyone. There's definitely something there.

    Ha, I was going to complain about that fight, but I was just randomly casting stuff and using her wrong.

    It turns out that you shouldn't purposely send ikaris airborne.

    No, you do want to purposely send him airborne. You use the red power to add her repeater, then send him airborne with the yellow power and them hammer him back to the ground with the purple for big damage. Powers are cheap enough to chain pretty quickly. With supports will be even easier.

    Right, thanks. I sent him airborne randomly, without any particular plans!

    That Toni, Aikku, Omega Red team is real sweet.
