What Cassandra Nova's new synergy hints at


As is clear from the meaning, we are dealing with "dark doubles". What are your options? The first ones that came to my mind were Daken (although he can be viewed in different ways), Madeline Pryor (vs. Jean Grey) and maybe Iron Monger (vs Iron Man)... But for some reason I want to believe more that it is Madeline Pryor. In fact, there are quite a few such champions, but I think we can come to the right answer.

But I would do anything to get her.
Also, these 'coming soon' synergies are one of my favorite pieces of upcoming hero speculation.
We should consider that Void and Sentry are (in short and without writing an essay about Sentry vol.1 and 2) the two opposite sides of the same person: Bob Reynolds.
Maestro, similarly, is an evil counterpart/personality of Bruce Banner from a possible future.
Cassandra Nova, despite having her own identity, is the twin of Charles Xavier, and they are genetically identical.
So, in my opinion, we should look for a character which is an alternative/future and evil version of a character already in the game: not a legacy character or a different character.
This pretty much rule out Daken (he was a "Dark" counterpart of his father for a while, but that's pretty much it) and Iron Monger (Obadiah Stane isn't exactly an evil version of Stark).
On the other hand, your theory about Madelyn Pryor could probably be a good guess, being her a clone of Jean Grey (a character already in the game) who eventually turns evil.
If I had to name other possibilities, I'd say Dark Beast from the Age of Apocalypse timeline or the "Malice" personality of Susan Storm.
If they weren't already in the game, The Maker and Superior Iron Man could be eligible for this synergy as well.
A Dark Beast would be dope.
Though If I'm going real long shot thinking and assuming a lot of things that probably aren't true, let's assume that Dracula is coming in October and this champion is coming with them. They wouldn't do 2 mystics which rules out a lot of characters, and knowing that we're getting a vampire and/ or a dark version of an existing hero (whether they're the same character or not) i think this does give more room for bloodstorm being a possible option. She'd be a mutant to go along with Draculas mystic, is a dark version of a character we have in game, fits the vibe of October etc etc.
I do think it's a longshot and assumes a lot of unconfirmed things, but I'm throwing it out there on the off chance that is true lmao.
Dark Beast
Chasm
Kaine Parker
Stevil Rogers/Flag Smasher
Bloodstorm
Malice
Allene Green (Squirrel Girl's clone)
I'm sure there's others.
2 of my most wanted characters, so I’d be happy either way. With all they did with Phoenix this year, bringing in Madelyne would make a ton of sense. I want goblins in her sp3! lol
Could be a Kabam original as well they seem to love making them this year and one that isn’t linked to the eidols would be interesting. Maybe even on one of their own Kabam Originals like Aegon or Guilly.
So it could be for sure
