    The one he used to start with had to do with when Gentle came in which was:

    me at supercoil

    Working this one out I figured precious metal could be it considering he mentioned this in connection with Gentle.

    I mean he directly explained that it was precious metal
    I've mentioned my speculation in the thread focused on the Lore Corner stuff but...

    June:
    Thane and Nico Minoru (or Clea)

    July:
    The Maker and Doom 2099

    August:
    Cassandra Nova and Iron Lad
    I don't know what that has to do with the comment you're replying to here?

    Besides which, I really think a lot of this is pretty wild guess work without much evidence
    Let's be honest, this roadmap was too abbreviated. Any of the assumptions are almost impossible to prove. For example, who would be purple in June?
    - Oh, I think it's Nico and Karolina Dean.
    - Why do you think so?
    - Well, because one of them is in purple robes and a mystic, and the other one is cosmic and They both fit into Pride month...
    And the other one will say that it's Agatha Harkness and Death. I mean, there's too little material in this roadmap (last time they gave little hints about the story itself, which was definitely a good addition to the material) on which to base it. Every month it's just a guess from the category "what if it's him or her because they has a khaki suit".
    My point is that even though it's abbreviated people are just throwing in characters they want even if they don't fit the theme of the eq title and acting like it's a solid pick
    Well, actually, there are some difficulties in choosing. The same July, this color definitely reminds me of Maker, who tried to make a perfect world (but nobody's perfect) and very good option in terms of achieving perfects (because he was striving to create an ideal life according to his standards) - the high evolutionary (this combo would work if Maker really was a science). BUT can we really get a month without a new champion, timed to F4 first steps? I think it's unlikely, he should be. But there are no tech left who will be in the film, maybe only Herbie. In science, only the Red Ghost and Franklin Richards is possible

    To be honest, I was right that both Maker and High Evolutionary are both suitable for July, but unfortunately I gave up on Evolutionary
    Exciting to see High Evolutionary be making his way in. How fitting he would go with The Maker.
    Anyone noticed the 7 star shards doesn't look like same as in game
    Are these new type of 7 star shards of am I just thinking too much?

    I mean, did you ever say high evolutionary was coming in July? Specifically July?
    So I responded above to my comment where I said that ONLY Maker and High Evolutionary are PERFECT for this month (due to the tittle and some other hints)
    So since July is science and tech, I'm guessing HE will be science and Maker would be tech, or the other way around

    We don't have many characters left to guess, most of them are already known.

    January Gentle/Okoye
    February Joaquin Torres/Arnim Zola
    March Jean Grey/Bastion
    April Lumatrix/Spider-Woman
    May Yelena Belova/Cyclops
    June Nico Minoru/Carolina Dean
    July Supreme Evolutionist/
    August Solvarch/
    September Mr. Knight/
    October
    November
    December Aidol cosmic


    I think that in July we will get the Blue Miracle, based on their picture with the silhouette of the champion in a raincoat, and we will not get anyone for the film about F4. In August, we know that the second champion must be a mutant, and we know that this character must have a beige or ivory element somewhere, some kind of item or item of clothing. Here, I'm choosing between two characters, Mystic and Marrow, who have matching bone elements.
    The second champion in September is likely to be science, and it should be someone diametrically opposed to Mr. Knight. let's say, for example, RSH.

    October is traditionally the Halloween champions, but since I think neither the Lizard nor the Hobgoblin and the next symbiote will be released this year, maybe it could be someone unexpected. I'm still going to leave out the Nightmare from last time and add someone from the Marvel zombie line to it. And I'm not taking on the character's class yet, maybe it's someone from outer space.

    I noticed on the Mr F chase graphic that there’s a future foundation event in August. Maybe Franklin or Valeria are in play. Tons of characters associated with the foundation.

    Bring me Leech. The power control champ we desperately need.

    Niko has a mystery synergy with the Pride champion. Just give me hope it's Mystique🥲

    At different points in Marvel lore, Franklin has been a mutant.

    Mystique has no khaki in her design though? We also don't know that Mr Knight is coming with a science, what are you basing that on?

    I have previously given an example that the color of her sculls is sometimes also depicted as similar to khaki (not golden)

    Huh, could have sworn they were white but I stand corrected
  • Ant_WarriorAnt_Warrior Member Posts: 301

    They really decided two add two obscure characters from one of the worst Marvel shows to ever exist when they still had Mystique Shatterstar and a bunch of others just sitting there gathering dust lol I'd never heard about these two until I watched that show and it was so bad 💀

    You realise these are comic characters originally right, who cares about a show if it was bad?

    Those are both Runaways, they'd be a seperate synergy altogether

    Yeah her skulls are barely *ever* khaki, it's just how comic artists draw a gold colour cause no matter what, those are metallic skulls over being Khaki

    If I understand correctly, this is some kind of reference to the moment when Karoline Dean was trying to be bitten by a vampire, but her solar energy saved her. So, could it be Dracula, or maybe Morlun? Tyler previously wrote that this year they keep it Halloween level so...

    Entirely possible, dracula seems like a solid possibility

    This is the comic book moment that the synergy is referencing. Logically, it should be a vampire who is afraid of sunlight, so Dracula looks better than Morlun.

    Well, I don't know, I would say that such second-rate characters are practically unrealistic in the game

    Wait ,what? Second rate unrealistic? Mate, weve got characters like shathra and kindred etc who many would consider second rate because they don't show up in comics hardly ever or in other media. Yet they are amazing in game. Bloodstorm could be amazing. That's terrible way of thinking. Try again.

    Horrible take. Not only have we had waaaaay more obscure characters in the game like Claire voyant and aarkus, but bloodstorm is literally just an alternative universe version of storm. She's no different than spidey supreme or symbiote supreme.

    Also let's not act like Dracula in marvel is anything but a second rate character lmao

    Deacon frost is also a possibility for that synergy, somehow slipped my mind

    There was literally a whole event in Marvel revolving around vampires called blood hunt. Marvel Rivals even ties into the event by having Doom promise to remove the vampires weakness to sunlight (which is exactly what he does in the comics). Dracula has also been featured in the Avengers animated shows of the past decade and he has plenty of history with Dr Strange, SW, Blade, and Captain America. Not to mention the marketing reasons behind why it might be a good look to incorporate more VAMPIRES into modern cinema and less red demonic looking entities that just steal Dracula’s wardrobe and pretend to be the “Devil” just so that they can never be added into movies or international merchandizing 🫩

    I would say that these are different cases. Now you are talking about a VERSION OF A CHARACTER, and they Kindred and Shathra (Moreover, her mention is not entirely appropriate, since Kabam simply added her to the others in the vote, the players themselves chose her) are completely independent villains. Don't get me wrong, maybe you are just fans of Bloodstorm, but if I had to choose between a version and a full-fledged character, then for me the second one will cause the most hype. As in the case of October, it will be hype
