    Santa IS a mutant in the 616 comics world... as was Jesus (so Exodus thinks)

    However... I think they were alluding to Onslaught. Since they gave us the classic Joe Mad! cover of "Who stopped Juggernaut" from Uncanny X-Men 322.





    Really hoping we get Onslaught AND another mutant that month - cause only having Dani Moonstar, plus a villain (that isn't Mystique since everyone under the sun wants her) in the month of 2023 will be so sad.

    Based on that would Onslaught not be that Villain then, which kind of mean, we only get 2 Mutants, and I would agree with you kind of sad not so many Mutants champs in recent year.

    Onslaught would be a villain but would also be classified as a Mutant because he's an amalgamation of Xavier and Magneto's darkest subconscious, impulses, and ego.

    So at the least, we get Dani and Onslaught.

    At most, from listening to the livestream, it sounds like it would only be 3 - Dani, Onslaught, and one more in December. It seems unlikely we'll get an x-related character for October along with Morbius but even if we get someone like Goblin Queen, Madelyne Pryor could either be labeled Mutant (since she's a clone of Jean Grey) or Science (since she's a Sinister creation in a lab).

    The first few sentences from what’s his face revealed Legion was at the very least someone who was being thought about. It was kind of sly but Jay Axe and I have had lots of talks about it. It’s very unlikely that at any point if Onslaught were to be released as a villain that Legion wouldn’t also join

    I mean one of them literally said "we are Legion" in the livestream, so while I agree that it would "make sense" thematically to have Legion and Onslaught together, I doubt they would say a phrase during the livestream that literally reveals the character by saying his name.

    It might be a hint for the next big thing going on in either the main story or the next chunk of the narrative roadmap

    I believe that for the December event, we will get a quest something along the lines of delivering presents to MCOC champions for Santa, and Onslaught(or the mystery champion) is trying to ruin Christmas or something. I don't believe Santa will be an actual champion in the game. Rather, he will be used as a plot device to drive the quest forward.

    Just had this thought. Do you guys think Santa would be a controversial addition to the game (using the Hulkling and Wiccan fiasco as a reference) since he is mainly associated with Christmas which is a religious holiday?

    In my opinion it's fine but there's always a vocal minority

    Santa would be stupid.
    Onslaught or Legion would be amazing.

    Have that comic - loved Joe Madiera's style. Onslaught should be fun - energy damage and non-contact hits along with reverse controls and magnetism lol.
