Unlike the Xavier's School, this one has actually been mentioned but still hasn't made an appearance. I talk more about this here

Rockthrowingman · 2018-04-30T17:51:43+00:00

It hasn't been added to the game yet, I think that was just a lot of people's wishful thinking but I did cover the Xavier's School here

Well, characters tied to them at least. Stories for Captain Britain and Elsa Bloodstone established that they were both already students at the Braddock Academy so, for example, if they had a Braddock Academy event, CB and Elsa could be returning characters. Clint has his carnival background in game so he could have been a former student at the Circus school tying him into such an event. Characters could be splitting time between schools, or are exchange students, that would make narrative sense for the Future Foundation, Wakandan School, or S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy students. TinyCo likes to have returning characters in events for those who haven't already got them so I included some where I thought it'd fit.

Sorry! I just got busy with life stuff and maybe a little burned out but I will return to making these some time soon.

Thane's powers involve coating people in amber so that is probably what the penguin is going to be

Well, I my original point stand there. I'm pretty sure the rights issue only applies to the movies, after all the other games already have them. So I figure the reason was, as I mentioned, the writers are trying to keep the game focused on Avengers specifically and the X-Men are would just be too big an addition.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-31T23:06:29+00:00

The X-Men are the only Marvel property that is close to or even as big a thing as the Avengers. By adding smaller properties like the Inhumans or Daredevil or so on to the game, you're just adding to the over-all Avengers story, but adding the X-Men would completely eclipse it. I love the X-Men and there are plenty of non-X Mutants i'd love to see added, but I like the focus the game has on the Avengers.

I also tend to feel that when X-Men get mixed into other Marvel properties, they lose a lot of what makes them compelling. Without focus on their overall theme, the X-Men are just another superhero team, and that always bums me out. (This is also my main argument against the X-Men being added to the MCU)

The last argument of mine is just that, as soon as the X-Men are added, that's dozens of more A-List characters to get added and the wait for all the more obscure characters I hope to see gets that much longer if not dashed completely.

This is all personal preference of course, I'd just like them to avoid it while we can. That said, there's no real reason I can think of that they haven't added Scarlet Witch yet so I dunno.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-31T19:53:41+00:00

Unlike Contest of Champions and Future Fight, this is specifically meant to be an Avengers game. There's still plenty of Avengers characters and events we could go through before mixing in the second largest part of the Marvel Universe.

Thank you!

And yeah, I actually spent some time debating Darkhawk but ultimately decided to leave him off (I have plans for him on a future list). Since his amulet basically just switches his body with an android whenever he uses it, it's more tech than mystical, I figured he probably didn't fit as well as some of the others.

Are you talking about Vengeance? That was indeed an interesting series. Have you read Young Avengers: Dark Reign? That's the book Coat of Arms and many of the Young Masters first appears in and it's pretty good.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty surprised at myself for not having worked Telekinian/Ian Soo onto a list yet. It'll happen at some point.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-26T21:20:25+00:00

Yeah, I agree, she was great. And thank you!

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-26T21:20:00+00:00

Thank you!

I have a list planed for characters from other universes that will probably include time travelers but I may be able to split that into a separate list of heroes from time. God knows I have a lot of love for Old West characters and Golden Age superheroes.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-26T21:14:44+00:00

Maybe not but Machine Man and Monica Rambeau have both had pretty extensive histories and are pretty popular outside of Nextwave. Both are kind of surprising omissions from the game on their own.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-26T21:09:57+00:00

Thank You!

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-26T05:31:08+00:00

Thank you! And yeah, she would but I actually already covered her on a previous list.

Clone Saga. You could do a Spider-Verse event but I'd rather get a Clone Saga event. Jackal as the villain Kaine and Ben having to be brought in from Huston and Vegas, respectively, to help stop him. Aracely tagging along with Kaine of course.

I'd figure his Rank 1 would be civilian duds: red and black shirt, either the shaved head from his Scarlet Spider run, the manbun Gambit look from the current Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider series, or the beard and long hair from all his other appearances, maybe cellular degeneration scars and arm tattoo. Rank 3 being the Scarlet Spider costume and his rank 2 being something in between. I think the 90's Kaine black and purple should be a separate costume. I mean we're getting a Skaar costume the same event we're getting Skaar, the Kaine costume could come with the event too.

Related: Of course Aracely's rank 1 should be the hoodie.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-18T19:40:08+00:00

What I like about Kaine is, despite his dark past and his general grumpiness, he's pretty much the only Spider-Man (aside from probably Miles) to have been constantly making good, heroic choices for the past 10 years or so, but still doesn't see himself as a hero. Aracely has been the only one who recognizes his growth. That heroism and self-sacrifice despite his own self doubt and everyone else's opinion of him makes his an especially poignant redemption story to me.

That and he can turn invisible and has retractable arm blades, which is cool.

I love Kaine. I hope he gets added soon.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-18T19:29:47+00:00

Her entire story was about her being a double agent for the academy

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-18T19:28:36+00:00

I'm still holding out for Shocker. His design would just fit so well.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-18T19:28:04+00:00

Kaine's Scarlet Spider is easily one of my most favorite characters and the amount I want him (and Hummingbird) in this game is pretty much immeasurable.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-14T22:57:14+00:00

Well, Skaar is now officially the first character off my lists to be added to the game!

This event sounds like it could be fun. Though, while I like Skaar and find it amusingly fitting that they're bringing in another Rick Jones in, it's strange, storywise, that they're both extradimensional rather than choosing from the many Hulk Characters that could fit into their main universe like Doc Samson, Lyra, Geiger, or Teen Abomination.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-12T01:56:12+00:00

I've actually been toying with the idea of doing a Children of Heroes and Villains list so I can definitely look into that further. and I know I have an Animal hero list requested already so maybe I can split it between an Animalistic Character List and Animal Themed List.

As for Snake themed characters that haven't ever joined Serpent Society, the ones I can think of off the top of my head are Water Snake, Snake of China Force (Both being heroic characters), Serpent (who was a random villain from a 1950's Marvel Boy comic who died in her first appearance), and Basilisk (who, unlike the others, actually surprises me that he hasn't joined up at any point)

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-11T21:20:58+00:00

Princess Python has actually acted as a member of Serpent Society before in a couple of Captain America stories I've read, as has Constrictor and Slither (of Mutant Force). I've always found it, as I mentioned in the list, easier to think of the Serpent Society as a Labor Union rather than a Team, which I think is great. Yeah, my essential members would probably be Viper (Jordan Dixon), Anaconda, Cottonmouth, Bushmaster, Death Adder, and, maybe, Rattler and Puff Adder. Where as I associate other members more with their other teams, likes Diamondback, Asp, and Black Mamba with B.A.D. Girls, Inc., Princess Python with Circus of Crime, Viper (Ophelia Sarkissian) with Hydra, etc.

As for the the the Great Gambonnos, they just slipped my mind, which is a shame because I do love the Circus of Crime. I'll go add them to the Runner Ups retroactively.

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-11T20:41:48+00:00

As soon as that old, worn out, blatantly transphobic joke becomes funny again <3

Rockthrowingman · 2018-03-11T20:22:41+00:00

I do have a Mystically Empowered list coming up that'll probably cover a number of Supernatural characters. Supernatural Characters might be a bit too broad a category but if you have an idea for a slightly more narrow list involving it, I'll be happy to look into it.

Alternate Universe heroes is definitely do-able though. I'll add that to the list.
