My 5 predictions for deathless Thanos (let’s see how many I get right)

I’ve got 5 predictions (or hopes) for deathless Thanos. As we’re about to start the chase for the 4th and final deathless champion (before Thanos) he’s just on the horizon, and I reckon kabam have a pretty finalised build for the guy so this isn’t a request thread. That said, they have been carefully scarce about what we get to know about deathless Thanos, only that he’s gonna shake up the game and he’s well worth the chase.
That and previous motifs of deathless/nameless Thanos’ are what most of my predictions are going to be based on, they get more wild as they go on, but I’m pretty certain about 1 and 2
1. This one is gonna be a pretty simple one, he’s L2 is gonna involve some form of reverse controls like onslaught, Emma frost or special chaos inversion. Mainly because every nameless Thanos has this, the whole L2 phase is hinged on reverse controls and the “deception” of his L2. I reckon this will be coming back as a call back
2. This is kinda cheating as it builds on point 1 but I’m sure he will be a pretty tough defender. Maybe not necessarily a champion like Serpent, Bullseye, Maestro, Onslaught, i don’t think his intention is to be a mega defender, but I think like Mr Sinister he will be a viable dual threat champion, whether this be from some form of Thorns, control manipulation or just general tankiness, he will be a viable battlegrounds attacker.
3. This is where I think I could be wrong, however given how team oriented the chase for Thanos has been I think he will be a huge synergy/team building champion. In fact I think he will become an Apocalypse like champion but for villains. Here me out now. Since just before the deathless chase was announced and kicked off with Guillotine we’ve had 11 months (from September 2023 to august 2024). In that time we’ve had 10 villain champions. Almost every month has included a villain, many of whom have been the most meta relevant champions in the game (onslaught, serpent, bullseye, obviously the 3 deathless champions, the leader who mark my words will be good)
We’ve had apocalypse already, Odin and War Machine have tried to be team building champions of their class, but without the same sort of shake up to the meta that Apoc had upon his release (although I will concede Odin has aged better especially factoring in BGs). I have a feeling that instead of targeting a class Thanos will target a tag/champion group in order to try and reinforce some unseen areas of the contest.
4. This is a longer shot, but given the focus on battlegrounds and the wave of new battleground specific abilities (see Serpent and Spider Punk), if Thanos is really built on teambuilding he will be the one to shake up battlegrounds and introduce cross champion pre fights or abilities to supercharge teammates on BG decks. I don’t think this will come on defense (more accurately i hope it won’t) but I think this is a real possibility for him. I mean given they’ve said he’s gonna be sooo worth the chase and really gonna change the game in some mysterious way, i hope this will be how.
Do I think he will be the only champion to do this forever and ever? No. But I think this will be rare, and will be introduced to bring up classes/champions which underperform in BGs specifically, maybe to bring into the fold underrated groups such as the Sinister Six 👀👀👀
5. The final and craziest prediction is that he will be the second playable superior class champion. Just something to give him a constant leg up, make him unique and always a good choice. Maybe not the best choice, but a valid one. As opposed to making him super overpowered with abilities be it through ridiculous power manipulation, huge damage, absurd defensive value, giving him some solid utility and a constant “leg up” would make him a pretty meta champion.
The question would be how to implement a new class in terms of catalysts. Knowing kabam they’ll release special rank up gems which you can buy for $100 each or you can wait for generic gems to roll back around. Hopefully they would introduce “superior” class catalysts in exclusively selectors, allowing players to choose when they receive them as and when they need them, without introducing them to crystals and forcing us to endlessly hoard them.
Anyways let me know what you think to these, and if you think it’s likely we’ll get any of these happening or not?

Here is why,
Do you remember morbius last year and when he was released so many people complained he was mid. That is actually because there were so many good attackers last year and he got compared.
So what kabam did was release mid attackers this year and great defenders.
So what happened when betaray was released everyone enjoys him saying he is a phenomenal attacker. If we talk about it even morb is a great attacker.
But the problem is betaray don't have any competition while morn had silk and photon to compare.
I am not saying betaray is a **** attacker or whatever I don't have him so I am not talking about him. What I wanted to say was how they manipulate these. All the complaints that there is no attacker or only mid attackers this year just vanished.
