I thought I would start a topic of heroes or villains I would love to see in the game.
Either from a hero pack perspective or an ally. On the villains side who deserves their own scenario, or even as a minion, nemesis or modular set based around them.
I am going to keep it at one character per post, and just chat about why they would be fun in the game.
I come from a perspective of a big marvel fan and reader from childhood in the late 70s and 80s.
In the UK marvel back then had their own British versions of us titles where they combined three or four comics into one, but cut down the length of each one in an issue to fit it in and it was then published in black and white.
So my childhood experience was quite broad. I have recently started reading again due to the game and catching up with this huge universe and its been great fun, but I am in no way an expert on the modern lore.
The first character I want to talk about is Hank McCoy the Beast. Now from my late 70s perspective he was obviously an original X-Man, but I primarily fell in love with the character as an Avenger. He was my favourite Avenger back in the day, as he was the joker, the hero giving some much needed light relief in the Avengers book at the time from the seriousness of Cap, Thor, Hank Pym and Iron Man (who was nothing like the wise cracking Downey version at that time).
I'm really hoping he is both X-Man and Avengers traited and Mutant if they make that a thing, although for the inevitable Sentinels scenario I can't see how they can't.
The Beast would be a great hero pack, with cards showing off his strength, speed and of course a few highlighting his amazing agility and acrobatics.
He also has the whole intelligence and genius side of his character with all his biochemistry scientific aspect. A good split of mental and physical cards would suit him.
His wisecracking personality would have to be worth a card as he taunts his enemies into mistakes (I was surprised Spidey never got a card for this, but was probably they couldn't fir it all in).
Beast would be a high thwarting hero I feel maybe a 2 2 2 across the board or 2 1 2 with his defence 2 representing his high agility and reactions.
Not sure who his ally would be, but surely his nemesis would have to be Dark Beast.
I know he has no chance of coming for quite some time, but he would be a great choice, I just hope they realise his importance in Avengers history as well as his mutant background.
