Character Wishlist Thread 3.0

New forums, new Character Wishlist thread

Just as a reminder, our rules:

Character requests are still a very frequent topic of conversation within our community, and with good reason - there are a ton of amazing Marvel characters in their universe.

The old Character wish list thread was ballooning a bit, and several characters requested in that thread have since been added to The Contest. We're starting up a new thread to house these discussions so that they can continue, but in a more up to date manner.

A few FAQ's:

1) Why haven't you added (X character) yet?!

A: there are so many characters we want to add, but simply haven't gotten to yet. A character's lack of presence in the Contest currently does not necessarily mean that we've overlooked them or that we don't already have them on our radar. Our teams have a finite amount of time in order to produce content, and we'd love to bang characters out quicker - but still need to maintain realistic developer cadences.

2) We need more female characters and more diversity.

A: Our own team is quite diverse itself, and we agree that representation is an important concern!

3) Why do you bother adding (X re-skinned character) when you've not even had a chance to add (x character not in The Contest)?

A: While some people are not a fan of character re-skins, MANY of our players are. The Marvel universe is one with a lengthy lore, and almost every beloved character has gone through some sort of costume change or shift at some point in their super-powered careers. These differences offer a good opportunity to re-introduce players to content they may not have managed to obtain the first time around, and allowing new players to pick up a certain champion while still keeping things a bit fresh. Our goal is to have a healthy balance between release types.

4) Can you confirm if a requested character is going to be released?

A: The short answer is no. We have specific timelines regarding when we can announce content, and that means that we can't pop in to say 'hey, that person is coming!'. For those wanting to keep on top of our latest announcements or teases, following our Twitter and Facebook accounts are your best shot. We also have an Instagram account that you should follow. Here are our social channels for easy access:

Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/marvelcontestofchampions
Twitter - https://twitter.com/MarvelChampions

So go forth, and suggest! We're not going to individually reply to the comments and suggestions that we see, but we are reading everything.

This should go without saying, but please discuss the characters you'd like to see without insulting each other or trying to discredit someone's opinion. Friendly debate is welcome, but the emphasis here is 'friendly' ; )

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Survey ending June 9, 2024:
J'son / Mister Knife: future Champ? or NPC at best?

Survey ending June 10, 2024:
Coulson: future Champ? or NPC at best?

Survey ending June 11, 2024:
Adversary: important future Champ? or minor character?

Too statistically minor for the MCOC Wishlist, he made a big splash in X-Men '97. Does it land him among much more established Marvel characters for MCOC rosters?

Survey ending June 12, 2024:
Ajak: delist cold media? or keep on the MCOC Wishlist?

Also too statistically minor for the MCOC Wishlist, barring her former movie hype. The healer seemed unlikely to return even has Eternals 2 not been canceled. Make room for more prominent Marvel characters?

Survey ending June 14, 2024:
Chitauri: future Champ? or NPC at best?

Is it weird there's no Chitauri representative on MCOC rosters? They have appeared in many other games.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Survey ending June 12, 2024:
Ajak: delist cold media? or keep on the MCOC Wishlist?

She's a non-combatant killed off in a movie franchise that has been since canceled. Measured by comics alone, Ajak isn't a sufficiently statistically deep character for the MCOC Wishlist. But if you think she should stay, she stays.

Survey ending June 12, 2024:
Conan the Barbarian: delist unlicensed media? or keep on the MCOC Wishlist?

Conan is a major Marvel canon character, but Marvel gave up the rights to Conan comics last year again, and does not have the rights to Conan video games.

Survey ending June 14, 2024:
Chitauri: future Champ? or NPC at best?

If added to the MCOC Wishlist, the entry would be “Chitauri (any).” Depicted above is Warbringer. Another possible champ, besides a Chitauri minion, might be The Other.

Survey ending June 18, 2024:
Agent May: future Champ? or NPC at best?

Her show ended years ago. She is not a major Marvel character in comics. She has no superpowers. (Neither does Black Widow or Hawkeye.) She has appeared in four (4) other Marvel video games, but has a poor Wishlist ranking.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? TIME-SENSITIVE POLLS!

Tied and ending in ~90 minutes!: Should a Chitauri be on MCOC rosters?

Ending June 18: retire Agent May?
In terms of hype, she's old, cold, and ranked low. Can she be removed from MCOC Wishlist to make room for other characters?

Ending June 20: Miss Minutes: future Champ? or NPC at best?

Ending June 20: A'Lars aka Mentor the Titanian: future Champ? or NPC at best?

Ending June 21: Speed (Tommy Shepherd): important future Champ? or mere Quicksilver skin?

ABOUT THE MCOC WISHLIST

The MCOC Wishlist is not a Kabam-moderated list. It's a free, volunteer-maintained, community-serving tool to tell Kabam which (of the 600-ish most important) future Champs we all want most.

The contents of the 616-character list are determined by importance (like the opposite of obscurity). We consider a character's number of appearances ever, in all media, adjusted for time, more heavily weighting MCU and video game appearances. Especially for the newest characters, we priorize by apparent popularity and (our guess as to the) durability of that popularity.

Our approach is far more sophisticated than it was when we started in 2018. We'd like to be more statistically accurate, well-curated, and well-edited. If you would like to be part of our team and volunteer to improve the MCOC Wishlist, please reach out to us on X / Twitter.

BONUS: One way to navigate the MCOC Wishlist is this directory (posted on Tumblr).

Definitely like Gwenom and Zadkiel and the ghost riders, there are some more ghost riders like the ghost riders of tomorrow, and I'd love to see weapon H, a Mashup of the grey hulk and wolverine, he'd be 1 tanky boy!
