Thoughts on the 2026 Champions

Since everything is already clear with 2025 and there are no surprises in it, it's time to start guessing about the characters in 2026. No, it's not too early, but it's a good thing that we'll be trying to make predictions and look for clues again on the forum. It's interesting.So, today was a deep dive by Pavitr Prabhakar, and he has a hidden synergy with another new spider from the Spider-Verse that will arrive in 2026. I think it's time for Spider-Man Noir based on the synergy.

Further predictions will be based on tiny hints or clues in various promos. For example, Ruby Thursday was heavily hinted at when The Maker was released. Additionally, the game still has an unresolved Dark Mirror synergy, which could potentially lead to the introduction of either the Dark Beast or Madeleine Pryor character duo.Also, on the last stream, the word Forge was written on the board, which is a reference to the Forge mutant, and it can be considered as a potential option.

And I also think that Kabam will want to close the 2020 vote in the new year, and it's very possible that we will be visited by both the Blue Miracle and Morgana le Fey, but in order not to contradict too much, I will only suggest one of the remaining characters in my prediction, and that is the Blue Marvel. So, my prediction is as follows:

Spider-Man Noir,

Ruby Thursday,

Dark Beast/Madeline Pryor,

and

the Blue Miracle

BigPoppaCBONE

Blue Marvel in February

Spider-Man Noir

Goblin Queen and/or Dark Beast

Superior Spider-Man

Daken/Hellverine

I predict we'll get 24 new champs.

Seriously?

Just FYI kabam vincent stated in jan 2026 we are getting champs according to June 2021 which means purgatory and overseer

So know the classes will be science and mystic again and one of the champ will be kabam original like purgatory and one champ will be another version of existing champ

Now you guys can make theories with this little hint

tell you a secret, but the warden is also an original Kabam champion.

He said it may not be the classes, it's just a general hint. Personally I think it's suggesting Kabam original champions or variations of existing characters

I guess so far there's not much to go on, Ruby Thursday does seem to be likely based on the hint and the fact that the devs seemed really excited about her. The thing about forge in the livestream was very clearly about the iso forge that they mentioned in the same video.

OObviously There's the dark mirror synergy which has the same possibilities: madelyne, chasm, dark beast etc etc.

Then Summoner's Choice losers of course which are still the same outside of the few we got this year. I think this year once again shows that we're never gonna get 12 straight months of obvious choices and Summoner's Choice losers so we're definitely not at the point where we can make any concrete predictions

Why do you keep calling him Blue Miracle, yet also manage to call him Blue Marvel?

EdisonLaw

We are still missing a mutant Spiderman, we have at least one Spiderman variant for every class already.

J. Jonah Jameson Pixie and the Blue Marvel

Doctor Strange

So, we already know a third of the 2026 champions, and so far, I can say that only the expected Blue Marvel looks interesting to me. I think it's a good alternative to Photon, but I'm confused about Pixie.

”a third”???

1toxic_cupcake

Doctor Strange

JJ Jamesom

Blue Marvel

Pixie

Ghost Rider

and the synergy of Pavitr on Spider-Man Noir gives us 6/24 characters for 2026

HuskerCool

6/24 =0.25

Did they say Ghost Rider would count as a “new” champion?

This is the same rework as Cyclops and Iron Man. Yes, he will be released as the second character of one of the months.

And perhaps with blue marvel, it is worth considering the impossible man. There were also options for the release of the game version of Ares, but then I remembered that it had been too short a time since its first release

JesNie96

As a person with 0 correct guesses, i think

January: j jonah jameson, dr strange

February: blue marvel, ruby thursday

March: pixie, fantomex

Just noticed this sir. I'm not sure why, I know your profile is set to private. Not sure if that has any bearing on it.
