    Just Gonna Drop these here to see what @Jay_Axe thinks






    Are the characters on each 'Class Hive' meant to be connected to each other in some way or are they just random blanks?

    Confirmed today Dust (Mutant) and Ironheart (Tech). we kind of new classes because of AW so expected Ironheart or Bastion did not see Dust coming!

    seems like the mystery spots are at least connected to one or more surrounding champs though
    Onslaught was the only questionable one, but found a comic where X-force protects X-Man from Onslaught has domino on the team so I guess it works and also Chee'ilth connecting to Ægon both being original champs only connection.

    Mystery Synergy graphic update in light of narrative roadmap tommorow.

    Vox teasing Beta Ray Bill.

    Gladiator teasing an Annihilator.

    Gladiator teasing a future champ with a mohawk.

    Deathless Guillotine teasing more Deathless champs.

    Dust has no connection to any of those characters that all the blanks are surrounded by. Cyclopse, Emma, Dani (less so), X-23 would've been the connectors.

    It seems pretty random. Which is why I hate these over the old 'web' style maps.

    Probably because they were tired of Jay Axe predicting 90% of the champs correctly. Haha!

    She was on young x-men with sunspot and her m-day variant was best friends with Jubilee

    After watching the livestream I think the folks might have made it obvious that Arcade is coming to the contest in June with it being an X-Men month and the story revolving around a deadly contest of champions.

    They also mentioned that the mutant being added in the same month would be part of Alpha Flight so I think they might be talking about Northstar.

    It's definitely Northstar.

    100% Northstar and Arcade.

    I'm glad they gave us an easy one, and I'm stoked to see how they make Northstar different from Quicksilver, but it'll be really nice to have a Mutant speedster after Marvel took that away from us 5 years ago.

    I hope he's a faster Quicksilver for short fights lol different abilities of course but I do want to see a lot of whiplash debuffs too.

    I was thinking Spiral for June and that the theme is fun and games (as in the "games" at the Mojoverse)

    my predictions. there are some easy alternate options like lizard & wizard or hobgoblin & spider-punk (hobbie) for April, negasonic or ladyD & gorilla man or maverick for may, northstar & arcade for june. March and July I think are locked in would prefer comic enchantress but doors open for sylvie.

    Updating my Narrative Roadmap predictions.

    I heavily cross referenced the roster map with the narrative teases which they don't correlate this year so
    Kabam Miike said listen again to Tyler.

    Let me know what you think! I am sure the ones I changed are planned

    I don't think Gorilla Man is skill, he would be Mystic, and for Heist, I don't think he would fit. If not Negasonic, Mystique but I don't know if we finally hit the stage where Kabam is able to put her in the game, or Fantomex and Silver Sable might be a good guess.

    The only thing that doesn't work IMO is that Tyler said the champs in April have similar names. Almost has to be Lizard and Wizard. I'm not crazy about Negasonic and Gorilla Man, but I think you nailed it.

    I may be reaching here also, but one of the episodes of Echo featured a Train Heist..... Could be Echo for May.

    Also, 100% Arcade as he is the only villain action figure from the super villains series NOT in the game already.

    I thought about it and went researching. Apparently Spider Punk and Prowler are both named Hobie Brown

    I saw that as well. Certainly possible. But also his F4 hat... Wizard is F4 villain.

    yeah they were my first thought too but have no correlation besides name so went with the spider pattern of 2022-2023 spidey events

    his abilities in the comics are more skill based than mystic and was a merc for money. shatterstar is also a good shout for the mutant spot more deadpool 2 related than merc for money. I think I predicted mystique and silver sable too early probably next year.

    I started reading this and was like "wait I don't remember saying this and I'm sober now... what's happening to me" before I realized it was you lol.

    You and I are *I think* the only REGULAR forum commentors using Wiccan and this is NOT the first time I've thought I said something when it wasn't me.

    Absolute left-field guess for the skill merc character: Solo.
