I find it kinda stupid that BWDO is considered a variant in the game...

Maybe theres something I dont know, is the og Black widow not... this one? It's just that BWDO is her from the time period of the movie

The BW's are both same "person", but different characters here. Seems like one of them is from other universe
Guess they are doing this cuz we dont really have many variants in the game
Dosent that sound stupid?
Or that Ronin is a variant of Hawkeye from another universe
Well who knows maybe there are several versions of the same character in the battlerealm
/s
Black Widow from yesterday and Black Widow from Tomorrow both exist at the same time, and can even be in the same place, but are they the same person? Maybe. Maybe Not.
Well, YES they are. Unless it has been specified that indeed they are from different multi-verses.
A “timeline” is not the same as a “multiverse”
Yourself in present day (whatever that means when in the BattleRealm), and yourself from 20 years ago, are the SAME person. Even if the Collector has pulled both of you out from your own relative time within that timeline. You can both exist together in BR, and they are both you.
Doesn’t mean that Kabam/Marvel could not have made the decision that both the 2 different BW's are indeed from different Multiverses (so 20 years or whatever the time difference was, in future of BWDO could end up being quite different from OG BW). But don’t think that had ever been stipulated before ??
Think we just assumed that they were just different points in time from her same timeline (same multiverse).
Marvel isn't the only IP that does this. Are all the James Bond movies about the same person? Yes and no. They literally can't all be, and yet they are all canon. Just because. And then there's DC's version of this: Hypertime. Hypertime tries to address some of these issues in a different way than Marvel's current "variant" idea. Instead of multiple versions of the same character, there's only one version and instead of the character "splitting" into different versions, it is reality that splits into different versions, with the same "person" traversing different reality "currents." Or rather, that's the thirty second version.
The game is full of variations of characters from different realities, dimensions etc. The concept of alternate realities has been a big part of Marvel for decades.
He can be a copy, but he cannot really be the original. There has to be some other Iron Man that lived out his life in the -616 original timeline that we all read about in the comics and wasn't kidnapped to Battlerealm from the past.
The Bond movies prior to Casino Royale clearly operate on a similar sliding timescale to the Marvel comics 616 universe that assumes they take place 'now' but that 'now' is moving forward from the 1960s through to the early 2000s.
Above is part of the whole problem with time travel, or being plucked out of your multiverse at say an earlier time point by the Collector, etc.
Does that cause a split at that point, creating a parallel “verse”. Just like the proverbial going back in time and changing the past, is it really changed or is it just changed for the “verse” that was split off at that point and going forward in that one. Leaving the original “verse” unchanged without you having gone back in time.
Similar to how some would hypothesize that for every decision anyone makes, there is a split that occurs, and so there are basically infinitesimal growing number of “verses” out there. So the 616 verse is actually constantly spitting into multiple 616's all the time.
Or is there really just a single 616 “verse” that is indeed fluid, where changing the past does actually affect the future in that same verse (because it never gets split apart). So going back and fixing “Thanos's snap” really does change things instead of making another split into 2 different versions of 616.
And that the different multiverse #’s as Marvel uses were actually different parallel “verses” that have always co-existed (but never increasing exponentially in number).

(and, just because, I’ll throw in my interpretation of known “time travel”)
Starting with how traveling at higher speeds (say out into space and back, magnified as you get nearer and nearer to speed of light) slows your relative time down compared to those “statically” remaining on earth.
But since a constant speed between 2 parties is relative (which one is really moving ? after the astronaut has de-accelerating into a constant speed), I would contend it is actually the acceleration needed to achieve higher speeds (or to sustain an orbit) which is causing the effect, and not the speed itself.
And thus it would be because of different acceleration rates of a clock (ie, GPS satellite) in space compared to those on the ground that causes the measurable time difference between them (not the faster speed that the satellite is traveling at in orbit).
Now for those saying you’re not accelerating here on earth when you are just standing still, we all are accelerating around the earth's core (else we would all just fly off the earth in a straight line into space).
And the GPS satellite is thus accelerating at a different rate (further from the earth's core) than what we are here on the earth's surface.
If you could somehow just “drop off” a satellite at a fixed point in space (ignoring gravity) and 1 year later pick it back up again after we have circled the sun (but the satellite has not circled the sun) the opposite time effect would be seen.
Either way, that is how one can “move forward in time”, by not really moving forward in time but rather just having slowed their relative time down.
It is the going backward in time that is of course the problem.
That makes no sense at all - why has no one posted about this before... 😉
The logical thing would be to have skins or load outs for each character so when you pick wolverine you would choose which version to play but since its more lucrative to sell you the same character 5 times that is what we have. All of this mutiverse and time, space bs is just window dressing. As with everything in life the answer is simply money.
