Secret Nod to New Character?!

Hey Guys! You may know me as Champion NOVA from Youtube, but today I'm here in the Forums doing DETECTIVE WORK:

Earlier Today, The Official MARVEL Contest of Champions Facebook Page (Maybe Twitter and Instagram, too?) Posted a Picture of Wasp Sucker-Punching this Guy Square in the Jaw making him convert his life to Jesus, Teasing Wasp would finally be Joining the Game, Dubbing the Title "It's about Damn Time." Like, damn Kabam? It'd be better to keep it a Secret til the Champion Comes out! Like, We knew Champions released from Jan-July in December. Anyways, Anyways, Back to the point. In the Picture, the MCoC Team also Draws this guy with a Leather Jacket and a Gold Zipper. Nothing too big considering earlier in May they drew Tony Stark without a Suit. But, When I first saw it, I knew there's something up. Being a True Marvel Contest of Champions Fan, I've read both the 1982 and 2015 Contest of Champions Comics, what does that have to do with this? Just EVERYTHING.

Punisher Vol 2 #64 released in 1992 this Character first appears as Nigel Higgins, dubbing the name "OUTLAW". Now there's 2 Outlaw's in the Comicverse, One being Inez Temple. Created by Gail Simone for the series Deadpool and Agent X. She is a mutant with the ability of superhuman strength and an uncanny aptitude with firearms (Which IMO sounds like a cool Character for the game.) and one being Nigel Higgins. So obviously we're talking about Nigel, the so-called "British Punisher". As said, a Leather Jacket with a Gold Zipper. Outlaw's Character is a basic Reprint of Punisher with the exception of the Skull across his chest being Gold.

So... is this guy Outlaw? Is he just a Nobody? What do YOU think? We know for a Fact that Ghost and Wasp are coming, and other characters from the MARVEL Contest of Champions 2015 Comic (such as Guillotine and Maestro) have been added to the game, whether being Playable or not, and whether or not being an Original Character. I personally wouldn't care for another Punisher, considering we just got P2099 Last Year, and having OG Punisher available since the beginning, but this guy does sound cool. Share your thoughts and if possible Check out my YouTube Channel!

    I hope you're wrong, as this Outlaw fella seems to be another totally unknown super hero added to the game while there are a bunch of popular ones still waiting (F4!!!!) or gathering dust in our vaults (OG IM!!!). I'm tired of these nobodies. I didn't sign up for this!

    I like them adding very not well known characters to the game, I love learning about their stories and where they came from.
