New Mutants

It’s appalling that we’re eleven years in and I can’t fight with a full team of New Mutants. C’mon Kabam! Where is Cypher, Magma, Cannonball, Karma, and Wolfsbane?

Cypher’s signature ability is that he can translate raids nodes into english

I mean, we're never getting Cypher in this game.

Cannonball is the one that surprises me the most. You'd think he'd be in the game.

We've got Dani, Magik, Sunspot, Warlock. Honestly, the ones that are left aren't that visually unique or interesting.

A bigger grievance is that there are NO Generation X characters. We've just got Jubilee.

M is super popular, Husk would be super fun and cool visually and ability wise, much like Absorbing Man.

I'm quite frankly shocked and stoked we're getting so many Academy X kids - Dust, Gentle, Pixie, and of course X-23. But we're still missing all my favorites - Hellion, Mercury, Anole, Elixir. Pixie is gonna be the one I put all my eggs into the basket to get tho. I'm so excited.

The surprising thing is that we get academy kids nobody cares about in the comics, the D listers. The way it goes, the next kid will be Martha.

If we talking all versions of young X-Men teams, Glob Herman is really the biggest need.

Cannonball would be cool but quite hard to do. He moves so fast and is invulnerable when he uses his powers.

”Nigh invulnerable,” son

We'll get em eventually. We're kind of post double class months now so it would be 1 member at a time at most and with 3 or 4 mutants a year it's just taking a while. I would love more new mutants amend especially gen x but theyre doing a mix of classic, modern and obscure mutants each time they add them

I don't know much more about New Mutants than what I saw in that movie, and while I don't think that movie was terribly good, it actually had some rather dope characters in it. I would love to see Wolfsbane, for example. The game needs more werewolves, goshdarnit!

That movie is iffy but most of the casting was spot on, except berto and cecilia. I highly recommend the first new mutants run its really easy to get into and so so good

Do you ever read back the rubbish you write before you post?

Please do not speak for us Australian's here in the forum, we do not need nor want you representing us, you are as much a clown on this stage as that stupid breakdancing clown was on the Olympic stage, unfortunately we are stuck with her.

We also almost had Pyro, it would be awesome to see him finally in the game alongside Fesi.

Terminatrix

I'd love to see Magma added! I remember her from an old X-Men console game. We don't have a total geothermal champ, so she would be a first and unique addition to the game.

And since she has seismic abilities, she can not only be our new Quake, but also immune to her abilities (if Quake ever becomes relevant again) since she can sense earthquakes before they happen.

I agree with the point that I keep reiterating on most characters suggestions/wishlist: not every characters, unfortunately, is visually interesting.

Or, better, it's not visually interesting to see in this format of videogame: the creative freedom you have in, say, a card game allows you to put pretty much every character you want; in a beat-em-up game like this one, not so much.

There's also the problem of characters that are visually interesting/unique, but whose animations may be particularly difficult to realize and possibly causing a visual mess and/or lag. For example, you mentioned Mercury, who is a character I'd love to have in the game, but I'm pretty sure that realizing the animations of a character made of liquid metal can be particularly complex and tasking to render both for the devs and for most players' devices (look at Dust: I like the character, I like her kit, but I've always had problems with the lag caused by her animations, until recently).
I'm sure we won't ever get a character like Mercury or Reptil for this very reason. Of course I hope I'm wrong: after all, in the past I would have never bet on characters like Dust, Nefaria and others being added to the game, and I was pleasantly surprised…

Yost&Kyle New X-Men run is mostly praised, and with good reason, I'd say. I think saying that "nobody cares about in the comics" is quite a stretch.

@Oakenshield @GilbertoJunior do you guys think we will see mystique in 2026? The way kabam introduced dark phoneix we might see a god level champ again in 2026

There is Sebastian shaw I liked in the mcu movie his power were good i want him in game

I'm not one of the tags, but just wanted to say that on one hand, Mystique might be too complex to create because of her shape-shifting abilities. She would have to visually change forms, or else she wouldn't be Mystique.

On the other hand, they could design her in her blue skin and go from there.

Mystique isn't a member of the New Mutants, which is why no one's talking about her.

As for Cannonball, he's hard to do in the game when his powers amount to 'fly really fast and is nigh invulnerable whilst doing so' - that's not conducive to a game based around hand to hand/melee combat.

Magma maybe 'a boring character', but she's more likely as someone who's powers would work in a combat system like Contest's.

Husk is unlikely, as much as Mystique, because her powers are based on her ripping her skin off and having a new form underneath that she can then use in combat. Essentially making her a kinda sorta shapeshifter, that would be system resource intensive.

Karma could conceivably work if they gave her guns and some kind of mechanic like Emma Frost's reverse controls to represent her possession powers.

Feral, Warpath, Shatterstar and Rictor would all work easily.
