MMutant Quake
Mutant Kamala Khan or Mutant Magik.
There's lots of options. I think a Mutant Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) is a pretty good bet (no insider knowledge or anything, just makes sense).
Thats a crazy good guess about mutant scarlet witch I hope it happens
Definitely gonna be a mutant, my guess it between Kamala or Scarlet Witch
The Theme they’re going for, in my opinion, is Champions who used to “Rule” the Contest so anybody who fits into that category (I.E Quake) would be a safe guess
Yes, but also the Champion lore has to fit with the new class they get assigned to. Quake has never been associated with mutants afaik. She's Inhuman which in game logic would make her a cosmic champion. Deathless did have a class overlap and I imagine they'd want to avoid that here.
I dont think we have enough of a sample size to make any claims on exactly what the themes of the update are beyond the original characters having abilities/lore that fit into the class theyre being changed to. Im still not convinced that the whole "champions who used to be incredible and now arent" thing is actually what the theme is
Mutant - Scarlet Witch or Kamala Khan. Quicksilver is a possibility as well.
Science - Diablo or WS.
Tech - Xbones or Modok.
ScIence drax the invisible
Time to update the holy trinity.
Blade - check if they include star forged version in synergy.
Ghost rider - check ( in process)
Stark Spiderman- science champ or mutant as spider bite was a science experiment that mutated him
Do it for the people.
tech quake, science ghost, mutant scarlet witch/quicksilver
I’d love to see Quake make a comeback. But I bet it’s a Scarlet Witch
Didn't we get a hint on Cosmic Bucky?
She's half Mutant and have Inhuman
It really would be a miss opportunity to not have Quake, the only lock 5* champs, be part of this.
A new 7* Quake with new kit without all the drama of nerf/change situation
This is one suggestion that I haven't seen thrown around much yet, but just hear me out: Science Ghost. She's still six star locked (like Doom and formerly Star Lord), and basically dominated MCOC for the longest time. I could easily see them reworking her Phase mechanic and Cruelties into something similar to Cassie Lang's heavy attack, and she could apply either Power Stings or some other debuff when hit during her Phasing.
I don't think they would make a whole new kit and leave the old one colleting dust as a 5*, also what other class she would be? Maybe Cosmic for the Inhuman side?
I believe Cosmic is already going to be covered by Doom. Science, Tech and Mutant are the only three classes unaccounted for. I'm also assuming they don't want to stretch too much to justify the class choice. Science could be covered by Doctor Octopus, Diablo, Man-Thing, Beast, Sauron or Mister Sinister. Tech could be MODOK, Yellowjacket, Ant-Man, Wasp, Scorpion or maybe BPCW. Mutant could be Magik, Kamala, or Phoenix. Or Juggernaut if they want to lean into his recent turn as a member of the X-Men.
From what we've seen the theme that they're going for with the Stellar Forged champs has been those who were formerly some of the best in the game. Out of your options, I can see only Scorp and Magik possibly being options, everyone else wasn't really relevant at launch
From his bio
About ÆgonBorn to a pacifist race forced into slavery by the Master of the first Contest of Champions, Ægon always defied the strict code of nonviolence amongst his kin. He secretly trained as a gladiator, inspired by love and duty to win the Contest and free his people. Against all odds, he fought his way to the final battle against the Master. Ægon was victorious, but the battle cost him his arm, and the life of his beloved. His tragedy was complete when his own people cast him out as a pariah and left him behind in The Battlerealm. As Champion of The Contest, Ægon’s prize was the Iso-Belt, a powerful artifact that grants him the ability to manifest a phantom limb, and other willpower constructs, to replace his missing arm. However, the full extent of the belt’s powers are still unknown.

He's otherworldly so could be cosmic. He's got that mysterious fancy belt so could be tech or they could give him WS arm. He's also 6* locked. Also, was a game-changer when he came out.
