I’m not going to waste precious characters on an intro, we’ve got 64 of these bad boys to get through. However, I will thank @SlayerOfGods for his system italics for quest names. Also, no quest dates because they’ll just take up space. If you want, ask and I’ll put them below. Anyway, Number 1:
The first ever event quest in MCOC, Ultron’s Assault. This introduced the titular Ultron as a tie-in to the second Avengers film. This was turned into the uber-hard and super annoying Variant 1.
The second event quest, also known as Variant 2, is Mystery in the Microrealms. This was also a movie tie-in, this time to Ant-Man. Introduced were Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, along with a special arena that gave pym canisters.
After that, we saw what is as of right now the easiest variant, Waning Moon. This gave the contest new exciting heroes like Symbiote Spider-Man, Moon Knight, and Deadpool X-Force.
The next month saw the release of the official Marvel Contest of Champions comic book, featuring multiple characters that aren’t in the game, including Outlaw, the British Punisher. One character who did appear in the comic was the MCOC original character Guillotine, who then was introduced into the game via Blood and Venom which also gave us Venom.
With the arrival of season 1 of Jessica Jones, we saw yet another tie-in event quest. Contamination gave us Daredevil Netflix, Luke Cage, and the still unplayable Jessica Jones.
Rocket and Groot’s Holiday Special was the following event, and it brought with it the best champion in the game, Groot. This was meant as a look back on the events that happened in MCOC that year, so the first chapter had six quests.
2016 kicked off with a bang as Miles Morales was introduced into the contest in Arachnid Action. Also introduced this month was the first boss of this event, Blue Cyclops!
2016’s first tie-in was to Deadpool, so what better way to celebrate than well, Deadpool? Deadpoolooza gave us Deadpool running the contest for a day and creating Venompool. It also gave us Old Man Logan.
The milestone tenth event quest in MCOC history was Kamala’s First Day which introduced both the titular Kamala and She Hulk, and started teasing Agent Venom.
The next month brought with Cosmic Civil War, a tie-in with the third Captain America film, as well as the first part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline. There was also a side event which was different based on pro or anti legislation, but the main focus was on the event quest and it’s new champs BPCW, Falcon, and Crossbones.
The second part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline, Cosmic Civil War: Endgame was the next quest to be released. With it came the introduction of Civil Warrior into the contest of champions.
With the release of X-Men Apocalypse came X-Men: Terrigenocide the first of three event quests in the Terrigenocide storyline. It gave us Beast, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, and a Weapon X boss, though he wasn’t playable till after Act 6 legends runs.
The third and final part to the Terrigenocide storyline, Terrigenocide: Terminus, gave the Contest an interesting batch of champions: the unplayable-as-of-now Dark Phoenix, Phoenix herself, and Quake, Destroyer Of Worlds!
November of 2016 saw the release of Doctor Strange, and with it, a tie-in event quest, this one being Sorcerer’s Conclave. It gave us Mordo (of course) and one of the top mystics, Doctor Voodoo.
The month after November is of course, December, which means holiday event quest! This time, it was Howard and Hyperion’s Holiday Hijinks. (Say that ten times fast) It brought to the contest Howard the Duck and Hyperion. (surprise surprise)
2017 started out by giving the contest Gwenpool and Cable in the event quest Gwenpool: Agent of C.A.B.L.E.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sWf3Q1E2xE February brought Dormammu and Hood into the fold with Dawn of Darkness. Fun fact, the chapter titles for this quest are spelt backwards.
Our next tie-in, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Zero, introduced Nebula and Yondu to the contest and was a nice tie-in to a nice film. It also had lots of song references, including Smooth Kree-minal and Blue Collar Man.
Inhumans season 1, for all it’s faults, gave us one of the best cosmics in the game (Medusa) along with Kingpin in the tie-in side quest Have You Seen This Dog? Speaking of which, when can we play as the dog? Asking for a friend.
While it finally let us play as M.O.D.O.K. and also introduced Taskmaster, Hotel M.O.D.O.K. has the unfortunate distinction of being the first December event quest to not have a holiday theme.
February saw the release of Black Panther, and with it, the tie-in event quest. Rise of the Black Panther saw the introductions of Killmonger and Gladiator Hulk to the contest.
Here we go, Part 1 of the Avengers Infinity War tie-ins. Infinity Chaos was the first of two Infinity War themed quests and arrived alongside Corvus Glaive and his wife Proxima Midnight.
Part 2 of the Infinity War stuff, Infinity Nightmare, brought with it Captain America (Infinity War) and Iron Man (Infinity War). And a Thanos boss fight that looks like terrible fun
To celebrate the first ten years of Marvel Stud10s (see what I did there), Enter the Cabal arrived three new Marvel Studios characters: Korg, Heimdall, and Red Skull.
October gave us the Venom movie and it’s tie-in of sorts, Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer. Arriving with this quest were Venom the Duck and Symbiote Supreme, along with limited time fan favorite Summoned Symbioid.
The first tie-in of 2019 was for Captain Marvel, and it was Battlerealm: Under Siege. The update also brought along Captain Marvel Movie and Nick Fury.
Phantasmagoria, (another fun word) released alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home, introduced Mysterio and Stealth Suit Spider-Man to the contest. What else happened this month? Yours truly started playing the game.
The New Mutants was going to be released in August of last year, and the film was also supposed to have Warlock. Neither of those happened, but at least we got Sunspot and Warlock in the tie-in event X-Machina.
September of 2019 marked the 80 year anniversary of Marvel. To celebrate, Kabam went waaayyyy back and introduced Vision Aarkus and Claire Voyant in Amazing Fantasy.
The tie-in to the should’ve-been-released-by-now Black Widow, Black Widow: Red by Dawn came along with Black Widow (Deadly Origin) and Red Guardian. Really makes one wish for a MCU film, doesn’t it.
The penultimate event quest of this list, Missing Links, was a celebration of Canada, with narration by Deadpool himself. The new champs were also Canadian, those two being the Alpha Flight heroes of Guardian and Sasquatch.
And just like that, it’s over. This was a lot of work, so i really hope you enjoyed and liked this insight into MCOC. Gotta go drink some unbranded grape juice and sob over the fact Agents of SHIELD is ending.
Much love, SpideyFunko

The 65th event quest, Rise of X, saw this month saw the introduction of Charles Xavier and Apocalypse into the mutant ranks of the contest, along with a new Cavalier Difficulty. Fun fact, the side event this month also included a bug that allowed players to farm unfarmable resources, and resulted in many players being banned.
Cosmic Ghost Rider and Red Goblin entered the contest in event quest 66, Recursion. Every chapter was also titled Recursion, and you fought Norman Osborne 3 times.
The Immortal Hulk was event quest 67, and with it came Immortal Hulk and Abomination. Also featured as an eq boss in certain difficulties was the one and only Maestro.
With the end of 2020 came Spider-Ham and event quest 68, Spider-Ham: Framed by Fame This month also featured the return of champion challenges and the side event offered Cav crystals.

The Sins of the Father were revealed in event quest 71, along with the All-Father Odin and Mangog.
Knull made his arrival along with Anti-Venom in Destroyer of Light, event quest 78. Also returning this month? Lil’ Stevie himself, the Summoned Symbiote.
Event quest 79 was the first movie tie-in in a while, Di Immortalis welcomed the Eternals Ikaris and Sersi into the game, with their appearances based off of the Marvel Studios film Eternals, which released that same month.
2021 closed out with the long awaited Spider-Man villain we’d kraved, Kraven the Hunter, being added into the game in event quest 80, Kings of the Jungle.
I can't believe I haven't noticed this incredible thread until tonight! You did an amazing job summarizing the history of the game!! I'm always trying to dig up old screen shots and videos of the game as it was when I first joined:
The log in screen tripped me out. Angela (who I only knew from 90's Spawn comics) fighting what I assumed was the evil overlord of Groot's race.
I think I dipped into the EQ once, was overwhelmed, and backed right out. Looked way more complicated than act 1 and 2, which was the only content I played that month.
I became more engaged with the EQ and the game in general the following month with the GOTG2 event and Rocket's Scrapyard SQ. I've done every EQ since. It's blowing my mind that I've been playing MCOC for nearly 5 years now! Half a decade already?
Also crazy to see how much the game has evolved. So many incremental changes over time, many going unnoticed, but it feels like such a different game today. Or maybe I've just been playing too long and my perception has changed. Looking back, I think I had the most enjoyment in 2018-2019.
I’m not going to waste precious characters on an intro, we’ve got 64 of these bad boys to get through. However, I will thank @SlayerOfGods for his system italics for quest names. Also, no quest dates because they’ll just take up space. If you want, ask and I’ll put them below. Anyway, Number 1:
The first ever event quest in MCOC, Ultron’s Assault. This introduced the titular Ultron as a tie-in to the second Avengers film. This was turned into the uber-hard and super annoying Variant 1.

We all got in our feelings with Super Skrull and the epilepsy-inducing Psycho-Man in event quest 70, Mixed Emotions. Also included was Persona references in each chapter title. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gvgMUDN3Usk
The Sins of the Father were revealed in event quest 71, along with the All-Father Odin and Mangog.
Knull made his arrival along with Anti-Venom in Destroyer of Light, event quest 78. Also returning this month? Lil’ Stevie himself, the Summoned Symbiote.
Event quest 79 was the first movie tie-in in a while, Di Immortalis welcomed the Eternals Ikaris and Sersi into the game, with their appearances based off of the Marvel Studios film Eternals, which released that same month.
2021 closed out with the long awaited Spider-Man villain we’d kraved, Kraven the Hunter, being added into the game in event quest 80, Kings of the Jungle.
Event quest 85 was strange indeed, as the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, portaled into the contest alongside the minotaur Rintrah in Strange Fates, the tie-in to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness.
The mystic class gained a Spider-hero in Spider-Man (Supreme), as he came alongside the villain Spot in event quest 90, Arachnophobia. This month also featured a return to the motion comics, as opposed to the champion reveal trailers that started in February.
I’m not going to waste precious characters on an intro, we’ve got 64 of these bad boys to get through. However, I will thank @SlayerOfGods for his system italics for quest names. Also, no quest dates because they’ll just take up space. If you want, ask and I’ll put them below. Anyway, Number 1:
The first ever event quest in MCOC, Ultron’s Assault. This introduced the titular Ultron as a tie-in to the second Avengers film. This was turned into the uber-hard and super annoying Variant 1.
The second event quest, also known as Variant 2, is Mystery in the Microrealms. This was also a movie tie-in, this time to Ant-Man. Introduced were Ant-Man and Yellowjacket, along with a special arena that gave pym canisters.
After that, we saw what is as of right now the easiest variant, Waning Moon. This gave the contest new exciting heroes like Symbiote Spider-Man, Moon Knight, and Deadpool X-Force.
The next month saw the release of the official Marvel Contest of Champions comic book, featuring multiple characters that aren’t in the game, including Outlaw, the British Punisher. One character who did appear in the comic was the MCOC original character Guillotine, who then was introduced into the game via Blood and Venom which also gave us Venom.
With the arrival of season 1 of Jessica Jones, we saw yet another tie-in event quest. Contamination gave us Daredevil Netflix, Luke Cage, and the still unplayable Jessica Jones.
Rocket and Groot’s Holiday Special was the following event, and it brought with it the best champion in the game, Groot. This was meant as a look back on the events that happened in MCOC that year, so the first chapter had six quests.
2016 kicked off with a bang as Miles Morales was introduced into the contest in Arachnid Action. Also introduced this month was the first boss of this event, Blue Cyclops!
2016’s first tie-in was to Deadpool, so what better way to celebrate than well, Deadpool? Deadpoolooza gave us Deadpool running the contest for a day and creating Venompool. It also gave us Old Man Logan.
The milestone tenth event quest in MCOC history was Kamala’s First Day which introduced both the titular Kamala and She Hulk, and started teasing Agent Venom.
The next month brought with Cosmic Civil War, a tie-in with the third Captain America film, as well as the first part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline. There was also a side event which was different based on pro or anti legislation, but the main focus was on the event quest and it’s new champs BPCW, Falcon, and Crossbones.
The second part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline, Cosmic Civil War: Endgame was the next quest to be released. With it came the introduction of Civil Warrior into the contest of champions.
With the release of X-Men Apocalypse came X-Men: Terrigenocide the first of three event quests in the Terrigenocide storyline. It gave us Beast, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, and a Weapon X boss, though he wasn’t playable till after Act 6 legends runs.
The third and final part to the Terrigenocide storyline, Terrigenocide: Terminus, gave the Contest an interesting batch of champions: the unplayable-as-of-now Dark Phoenix, Phoenix herself, and Quake, Destroyer Of Worlds!
November of 2016 saw the release of Doctor Strange, and with it, a tie-in event quest, this one being Sorcerer’s Conclave. It gave us Mordo (of course) and one of the top mystics, Doctor Voodoo.
The month after November is of course, December, which means holiday event quest! This time, it was Howard and Hyperion’s Holiday Hijinks. (Say that ten times fast) It brought to the contest Howard the Duck and Hyperion. (surprise surprise)
2017 started out by giving the contest Gwenpool and Cable in the event quest Gwenpool: Agent of C.A.B.L.E.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sWf3Q1E2xE February brought Dormammu and Hood into the fold with Dawn of Darkness. Fun fact, the chapter titles for this quest are spelt backwards.
Our next tie-in, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Zero, introduced Nebula and Yondu to the contest and was a nice tie-in to a nice film. It also had lots of song references, including Smooth Kree-minal and Blue Collar Man.
Inhumans season 1, for all it’s faults, gave us one of the best cosmics in the game (Medusa) along with Kingpin in the tie-in side quest Have You Seen This Dog? Speaking of which, when can we play as the dog? Asking for a friend.
While it finally let us play as M.O.D.O.K. and also introduced Taskmaster, Hotel M.O.D.O.K. has the unfortunate distinction of being the first December event quest to not have a holiday theme.
February saw the release of Black Panther, and with it, the tie-in event quest. Rise of the Black Panther saw the introductions of Killmonger and Gladiator Hulk to the contest.
Here we go, Part 1 of the Avengers Infinity War tie-ins. Infinity Chaos was the first of two Infinity War themed quests and arrived alongside Corvus Glaive and his wife Proxima Midnight.
Part 2 of the Infinity War stuff, Infinity Nightmare, brought with it Captain America (Infinity War) and Iron Man (Infinity War). And a Thanos boss fight that looks like terrible fun
To celebrate the first ten years of Marvel Stud10s (see what I did there), Enter the Cabal arrived three new Marvel Studios characters: Korg, Heimdall, and Red Skull.
October gave us the Venom movie and it’s tie-in of sorts, Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer. Arriving with this quest were Venom the Duck and Symbiote Supreme, along with limited time fan favorite Summoned Symbioid.
The first tie-in of 2019 was for Captain Marvel, and it was Battlerealm: Under Siege. The update also brought along Captain Marvel Movie and Nick Fury.
Phantasmagoria, (another fun word) released alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home, introduced Mysterio and Stealth Suit Spider-Man to the contest. What else happened this month? Yours truly started playing the game.
The New Mutants was going to be released in August of last year, and the film was also supposed to have Warlock. Neither of those happened, but at least we got Sunspot and Warlock in the tie-in event X-Machina.
September of 2019 marked the 80 year anniversary of Marvel. To celebrate, Kabam went waaayyyy back and introduced Vision Aarkus and Claire Voyant in Amazing Fantasy.
The tie-in to the should’ve-been-released-by-now Black Widow, Black Widow: Red by Dawn came along with Black Widow (Deadly Origin) and Red Guardian. Really makes one wish for a MCU film, doesn’t it.
The penultimate event quest of this list, Missing Links, was a celebration of Canada, with narration by Deadpool himself. The new champs were also Canadian, those two being the Alpha Flight heroes of Guardian and Sasquatch.
And just like that, it’s over. This was a lot of work, so i really hope you enjoyed and liked this insight into MCOC. Gotta go drink some unbranded grape juice and sob over the fact Agents of SHIELD is ending.
Much love, SpideyFunko
Mystery Link of the Day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk-II27GApo
The 65th event quest, Rise of X, saw this month saw the introduction of Charles Xavier and Apocalypse into the mutant ranks of the contest, along with a new Cavalier Difficulty. Fun fact, the side event this month also included a bug that allowed players to farm unfarmable resources, and resulted in many players being banned.
Cosmic Ghost Rider and Red Goblin entered the contest in event quest 66, Recursion. Every chapter was also titled Recursion, and you fought Norman Osborne 3 times.
The Immortal Hulk was event quest 67, and with it came Immortal Hulk and Abomination. Also featured as an eq boss in certain difficulties was the one and only Maestro.
With the end of 2020 came Spider-Ham and event quest 68, Spider-Ham: Framed by Fame This month also featured the return of champion challenges and the side event offered Cav crystals.

Event Quest 91, Sea of Troubles, was a tie in with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and featured Wakanda under siege from Galactus while also introducing Shuri and Attuma to the contest with their MCU inspired designs
Slight confusion, was there no event quest for the release of Elektra and Fixit? I could've sworn I had played through an EQ with Fixit as the final boss, but I'm searching around and can't find anything. They both came between the Moon Knight and Guillotine/Venom EQs.

Fixit was the final boss in Contamination, which is the closest thing i can think of

Rocket and Groot’s Holiday Special was the following event, and it brought with it the best champion in the game, Groot. This was meant as a look back on the events that happened in MCOC that year, so the first chapter had six quests.
2016 kicked off with a bang as Miles Morales was introduced into the contest in Arachnid Action. Also introduced this month was the first boss of this event, Blue Cyclops!
2016’s first tie-in was to Deadpool, so what better way to celebrate than well, Deadpool? Deadpoolooza gave us Deadpool running the contest for a day and creating Venompool. It also gave us Old Man Logan.
The milestone tenth event quest in MCOC history was Kamala’s First Day which introduced both the titular Kamala and She Hulk, and started teasing Agent Venom.
The next month brought with Cosmic Civil War, a tie-in with the third Captain America film, as well as the first part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline. There was also a side event which was different based on pro or anti legislation, but the main focus was on the event quest and it’s new champs BPCW, Falcon, and Crossbones.
The second part of the Cosmic Civil War storyline, Cosmic Civil War: Endgame was the next quest to be released. With it came the introduction of Civil Warrior into the contest of champions.
With the release of X-Men Apocalypse came X-Men: Terrigenocide the first of three event quests in the Terrigenocide storyline. It gave us Beast, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, and a Weapon X boss, though he wasn’t playable till after Act 6 legends runs.
The third and final part to the Terrigenocide storyline, Terrigenocide: Terminus, gave the Contest an interesting batch of champions: the unplayable-as-of-now Dark Phoenix, Phoenix herself, and Quake, Destroyer Of Worlds!
November of 2016 saw the release of Doctor Strange, and with it, a tie-in event quest, this one being Sorcerer’s Conclave. It gave us Mordo (of course) and one of the top mystics, Doctor Voodoo.
The month after November is of course, December, which means holiday event quest! This time, it was Howard and Hyperion’s Holiday Hijinks. (Say that ten times fast) It brought to the contest Howard the Duck and Hyperion. (surprise surprise)
2017 started out by giving the contest Gwenpool and Cable in the event quest Gwenpool: Agent of C.A.B.L.E.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sWf3Q1E2xE February brought Dormammu and Hood into the fold with Dawn of Darkness. Fun fact, the chapter titles for this quest are spelt backwards.
Our next tie-in, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Zero, introduced Nebula and Yondu to the contest and was a nice tie-in to a nice film. It also had lots of song references, including Smooth Kree-minal and Blue Collar Man.
Inhumans season 1, for all it’s faults, gave us one of the best cosmics in the game (Medusa) along with Kingpin in the tie-in side quest Have You Seen This Dog? Speaking of which, when can we play as the dog? Asking for a friend.
While it finally let us play as M.O.D.O.K. and also introduced Taskmaster, Hotel M.O.D.O.K. has the unfortunate distinction of being the first December event quest to not have a holiday theme.
February saw the release of Black Panther, and with it, the tie-in event quest. Rise of the Black Panther saw the introductions of Killmonger and Gladiator Hulk to the contest.
Here we go, Part 1 of the Avengers Infinity War tie-ins. Infinity Chaos was the first of two Infinity War themed quests and arrived alongside Corvus Glaive and his wife Proxima Midnight.
Part 2 of the Infinity War stuff, Infinity Nightmare, brought with it Captain America (Infinity War) and Iron Man (Infinity War). And a Thanos boss fight that looks like terrible fun
To celebrate the first ten years of Marvel Stud10s (see what I did there), Enter the Cabal arrived three new Marvel Studios characters: Korg, Heimdall, and Red Skull.
October gave us the Venom movie and it’s tie-in of sorts, Blood and Venom: Symbiomancer. Arriving with this quest were Venom the Duck and Symbiote Supreme, along with limited time fan favorite Summoned Symbioid.
The first tie-in of 2019 was for Captain Marvel, and it was Battlerealm: Under Siege. The update also brought along Captain Marvel Movie and Nick Fury.
Phantasmagoria, (another fun word) released alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home, introduced Mysterio and Stealth Suit Spider-Man to the contest. What else happened this month? Yours truly started playing the game.
The New Mutants was going to be released in August of last year, and the film was also supposed to have Warlock. Neither of those happened, but at least we got Sunspot and Warlock in the tie-in event X-Machina.
September of 2019 marked the 80 year anniversary of Marvel. To celebrate, Kabam went waaayyyy back and introduced Vision Aarkus and Claire Voyant in Amazing Fantasy.
The tie-in to the should’ve-been-released-by-now Black Widow, Black Widow: Red by Dawn came along with Black Widow (Deadly Origin) and Red Guardian. Really makes one wish for a MCU film, doesn’t it.
The penultimate event quest of this list, Missing Links, was a celebration of Canada, with narration by Deadpool himself. The new champs were also Canadian, those two being the Alpha Flight heroes of Guardian and Sasquatch.
And just like that, it’s over. This was a lot of work, so i really hope you enjoyed and liked this insight into MCOC. Gotta go drink some unbranded grape juice and sob over the fact Agents of SHIELD is ending.
Much love, SpideyFunko
Mystery Link of the Day: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk-II27GApo
The 65th event quest, Rise of X, saw this month saw the introduction of Charles Xavier and Apocalypse into the mutant ranks of the contest, along with a new Cavalier Difficulty. Fun fact, the side event this month also included a bug that allowed players to farm unfarmable resources, and resulted in many players being banned.
Cosmic Ghost Rider and Red Goblin entered the contest in event quest 66, Recursion. Every chapter was also titled Recursion, and you fought Norman Osborne 3 times.
The Immortal Hulk was event quest 67, and with it came Immortal Hulk and Abomination. Also featured as an eq boss in certain difficulties was the one and only Maestro.
With the end of 2020 came Spider-Ham and event quest 68, Spider-Ham: Framed by Fame This month also featured the return of champion challenges and the side event offered Cav crystals.

Event quest 79 was the first movie tie-in in a while, Di Immortalis welcomed the Eternals Ikaris and Sersi into the game, with their appearances based off of the Marvel Studios film Eternals, which released that same month.
2021 closed out with the long awaited Spider-Man villain we’d kraved, Kraven the Hunter, being added into the game in event quest 80, Kings of the Jungle.
Event quest 85 was strange indeed, as the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, portaled into the contest alongside the minotaur Rintrah in Strange Fates, the tie-in to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness.
The mystic class gained a Spider-hero in Spider-Man (Supreme), as he came alongside the villain Spot in event quest 90, Arachnophobia. This month also featured a return to the motion comics, as opposed to the champion reveal trailers that started in February.
Event Quest 91, Sea of Troubles, was a tie in with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and featured Wakanda under siege from Galactus while also introducing Shuri and Attuma to the contest with their MCU inspired designs
Two long awaited fan favorites arrived in April of 2023, as Sandman and Shocker made their sinister presences known in event quest 96: Just to Get a Rep.
Event quest 97 was Guardians of the Battlerealm, the game’s tie-in to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. With it came the movie version of Adam Warlock and comics character Moondragon.
The next 100 kicked off in September with event quest 101, Echoes in Eternity. The two champs this month were the Summoner’s Choice Champion Gladiator, and for the first time the second champion of the month was replaced with a larger champion overhaul- this one being OG Iron Man. Also released this month was the Paragon Gauntlet.
Event quest 102 was October’s Blood Moon, which leaned into spooky season by adding the furry and ferocious Werewolf By Night, and the star of 2022’s greatest superhero movie, Morbius.
2024 kicked off with pizzazz, as event quest 105, Make It There, with it’s Frank Sinatra themed chapter titles, brought the much anticipated White Tiger and Bullseye to the Contest.
Family feud! Odin’s brother, The Serpent, entered the Contest alongside The Destroyer in the aptly titled The Serpent and The Destroyer, event quest 107.
Hobie Brown and Hobie Brown came into the contest with Change the Record, event quest 108. They came in the form of the now-heroic Prowler and the anti-capitalist, inconsistent, and totally cool Spider-Punk.

I'm always trying to dig up old screen shots and videos of the game as it was when I first joined:
The log in screen tripped me out. Angela (who I only knew from 90's Spawn comics) fighting what I assumed was the evil overlord of Groot's race.
I think I dipped into the EQ once, was overwhelmed, and backed right out. Looked way more complicated than act 1 and 2, which was the only content I played that month.
I became more engaged with the EQ and the game in general the following month with the GOTG2 event and Rocket's Scrapyard SQ. I've done every EQ since. It's blowing my mind that I've been playing MCOC for nearly 5 years now! Half a decade already?
Also crazy to see how much the game has evolved. So many incremental changes over time, many going unnoticed, but it feels like such a different game today. Or maybe I've just been playing too long and my perception has changed. Looking back, I think I had the most enjoyment in 2018-2019.
The madlad actually did it.

Kabam should gift him a 6* nexus or something to show their appreciation.
If they wanted to give me a nexus i wouldn’t say no, but I would also be happy with simple mod acknowledgment
