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:

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' ; )

The Wrecking Crew deserves some recognition. The synergies with all four of them together will be complete insanity. The wrecking crew should be a mix class of Mystic and Skill.

I came up with many ideas for Emma Frost before it was announced that she would be added to the game (https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/49998/new-damage-type-mind-damage#latest). I was glad to see some of them were used (I guess it could have been coincidence, but I am pretty sure it wasn't *all* coincidence; and I am not asking for any credit in any form). After waiting for Kitty Pryde to be added, I have come up with some ideas.

Admittedly, Kitty's ability is pretty hard to make work in this game, not least of all since in the comics she has an enormous advantage over what in the game would be Tech Champs. But since she is without doubt a Mutant, there have to be some limitations. With that said, here are my ideas:

Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat (Mutant)

SYNERGIES

Romance: Spider-Man (Classic), Cyclops(?), Wolverine?

Enemies: Deadpool(?)

PASSIVE ABILITIES: Kitty Pryde can fly, and so she is Immune to Quake’s earthquake abilities while airborne

PHASE: When Kitty’s Dash attack is intercepted or her Block is penetrated, she has a flat 8% chance to phase, letting the attack pass through her harmlessly.

NOTE: For multi-hit Heavy attacks, only a single hit passes through per activation, and Kitty will not be “stunned” if there is another strike coming, allowing her to block or evade it.

SIGNATURE ABILITY: SHORT CIRCUIT

When Kitty is attacked in a certain manner (see below), she has a chance to phase, shorting out all circuits and removing related buffs on the opponent. This is calculated seperately from the 8% chance when intercepted or Block-broken. The 8% is decreased to 4% against Tech Champs.

NOTE: Short Circuit is only triggered by objects with circuitry, obviously. However, this makes it a bit tricky. For example, although not a Tech Champ, Winter Soldier can trigger Short Circuit with his cybernetic arm. This will cancel the effects of his Signature Ability, Cybernetic Arm Enhancement.

NOTE: Projectiles and beams will not trigger Short circuit, though Green Goblin’s pumpkins and Rocket’s grenades can, and will pass through Kitty without detonating.

Special Attack 3: Kitty Pryde summons her pet dragon Lockheed to attack and distract the opponent, while Kitty phases through them to strike from behind. This attack has a 100% chance to short out all circuitry and remove related buffs on the opponent.

I have an idea so cruel for Mystique I wouldn't be surprised if Kabam used it: In Alliance Wars, Mystique shows up as a different Champion unless you have that Utility Mastery with the binoculars. Only once you start the fight do you realize it's her.

Captain Universe

Those who read the comics will know that "Captain Universe" is not actually a person, but a force or entity called the Unipower that bestows itself upon certain individuals (sort of like the Phoenix Force).

idea:
once you acquire Captain Universe, he isn't technically a playable champ, but rather one character in your roster is chosen at random to become Captain Universe. His skin will subsequently change to reflect this transformation (Here's Cosmic Spidey for an example:)

and Juggernaut:

This character will remain as Captain Universe for a certain amount of time (a day perhaps?) then the next day, another random champ becomes Capt. Universe. Stats will be significantly boosted and maybe ability accuracy improved. Since the Unipower seems to attach itself only to benevolent beings, maybe it only has a small chance to bestow its power upon villains.

I would like to see Tyrone Cash and Blue Marvel in the contest. There are many powerful characters of color in the contest but not truly OP like Domino or OG Thor.

Many powerful characters of color, but none OP? Three words: Blade Nick Fury

How about starved venom??

How about superior carnage?

Ares

idea:
whenever the enemy is Unstoppable, he too becomes Unstoppable.
when Ares is hit by an Unblockable attack, he gains a permanent Fury passive that stacks.
+90% armor and Physical resistance vs Unblockable attacks.
(rationale: the God of War ought to have utility against Aspect of War)
