I was just thinking wouldn't it be great to have in the game Captain America with mjolnir, The strength of Captain America with powers of Thor wouldn't it be a great champion to have in the game?
What do you people think?
Will it work or ever happen?

I get that people want to see more 'new' characters that haven't been added in some manner of speaking. I'm all for that too. A 'bit of both!' 😜 If we didn't have the variants of already introduced characters, we wouldn't have CAIW, IMIW, SES, Captain Sparkles, Gulk, etc. Sure, there have been less than ideal variants too. Not every champ can be a God (or even relatively useful in some cases, lol) in the game afterall. However, I was also super stoked when I saw Namor come in. Loving that they're brining Warlock and Sunspot in. Also looking forward to the inevitable release of Mr. Fantastic! Hopefully the Surfer too.
The end point being, what's wrong with a bit of both? Kabam in my opinion actually does a pretty nice job of balancing the new new champs with new variants of preselected champs. I get that some would wish to see more in the way of new faces vs rehashed versions of characters that have already made their way into MCoC. Just the same, there's obviously many who would love to see more variants. Without the variants, those older face would be subjected to falling into obscurity until the day they get a rework, if that ever comes.
*shrug*
We’ve got dang near the entire spiderverse.
We’ve got enough Ironman versions to run a basketball game.
I get that these characters, also with Thor and Hulk, are so nostalgic. But let’s let them phase out. No pun intended.
Give us a (god tier) Dr. Doom
Silver Surfer.
Adam Warlock.
Shang Chi.
Apocalypse.
Lady deathstrike.
Mystique.
Sebastian Shaw.
M’Baku
Kraven The Hunter
Thane
Professor X
Nova
Hey I’ll even take Toad. Just NO MORE remixes of the same characters.
We add two new champs a month, about 25 in a year. If this game lasts for another ten years, that would be 250 new champs. I would bet anything that no one at Kabam will ever think some number lower than that is problematic enough to stop adding champs or start deleting champs. If anything, I think if the game lasts that long they will eventually start adding segmented crystals that allow players to target sets of champs, like a crystal that has the first five years of champs or all mutant champs or things like that.
But to stop adding or start deleting? Game developers are not inherently predictable, but I'll take that bet any day.
The MCU Peter Parker and the 616 Peter Parker are two completely different characters, with different lives, different back stories, and even (slightly) different powers. On a meta level, we can recognize that both were inspired by the same original character, the original Spiderman that lived in the 1960. But to me, they are different characters, equally deserving of being in the same game.
The movie Into the Spiderverse plays on the notion that there's all these different "incarnations" of Spiderman, but in one sense they are all Spiderman and in another sense they are all completely different people. I tend to see all the different MCOC Spidermen, Ironmen, and Captain Americas in a similar light.
Well, maybe not so much a lot of the Ironmen, because they are reskins in actual fact. But the others, less so, and especially all the Spider-people. I'm all for Spiderman, Stark Enhanced Spiderman, Miles Morales, and Spidergwen being in the game. I think Iron Man, Iron Patriot, and Superior Iron Man are too close to reskins to be a good idea today (I understand why they were added in the early days). But as long as the characters are distinct, and the game champion implementations are also sufficiently distinct, I don't mind having different "incarnations" of a core character in the game. I actually think it's an entirely reasonable thing to do that for the more widely beloved characters.
If you go skim the Character Suggestions thread, there's a slew of new characters, AND variants of characters that already exist. Truth is, they're desirable. People want them. It's an undeniable fact as this thread exists. A thread mentioning the Endgame Captain America with Mjolnir. Now, some are tired of the variants. It is what it is though. They release far more new faces than variants in total so I really don't see an issue with it. They don't release them en masse as there's a LOT of work that goes into each character design these days. At their current rate, it's already hard to keep up when collecting if you're F2P.
Other truth is, the MCU is a major new fan gathering tool for Marvel. So naturally those fans want to see the characters as they appeared in the movies in this game. Even the comic fans like myself can appreciate them. Not everyone, but you really can't please everyone either. So Kabam does their best to cater to all. The upcoming EQ will focus on 2 not so known Marvel Characters, which is awesome! Very much looking forward to seeing how Warlock and Sunspot function. I also wouldn't be opposed to seeing the aforementioned Endgame Cap, or another heavily mentioned variant, Thor wielding Stormbreaker be added to CoC down the road. May never happen though.
Also, as previously mentioned by @DNA3000 , many of the variants are notably different (well said sir, the whole of it). For example, Captain America. CA and CA WWII are virtually identical in many ways, essentially a reskin. However, Beardo (CAIW) is a whole different experience when playing. I would wager if Kabam went through the trouble of adding Endgame Captain America wielding Mjolnir, he'd also be NOTABLY different than the rest. The original slew of Iron Men as previously mentioned are essentially reskins. However, IMIW is once again a whole different experience when compared to IM, SIM, or IP.
I see nothing wrong with the newer version being their own play experience. Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel (the Danvers version) are again, essentially reskins. Captain Marvel (Movie) is miles apart from her counterparts. As long as they have unique abilities and animations, I'm all for variants. As long as they keep the majority interested, I don't see Kabam quitting on making new variants. I'd also love to see an updated Black Widow and Scarlet Witch down the road too. Chances are, we'll eventually see such as MCoC is also a means of promoting the MCU movies. Naturally that means we'll be seeing more variants as we go. Considering what's been announced, we may see another Doctor Strange down the road too. Which would be a welcomed addition in my eyes.
The players who like to collect champions tend to stick around, and the players that don't like to keep going after new champions indefinitely tend to eventually quit. And the introduction of 6* champions boosted that impetus. There will always be players that concentrate on performance, but they will always be a small percentage of all players for this reason. The game encourages collectors to keep collecting, and it keeps marginalizing players who want to just stop chasing and use what they have. Because games as a service are all about the chase. That's ultimately who they make money from.
Just add Mjolnir and few stuns and shocks debuff
More power and crit and some power gain
