CALLED IT: PSYCHO-MAN/MANGOG

In early February 2021 the community found a mystery “Pure Hatred” synergy in Psycho-Man’s kit, which sent some of us spinning through the Marvel archives trying to think of every possible hate-related character who could come to Marvel Contest of Champions soon.

I on a themed “Hate-urday” tweet series, I suggested it might be Mangog. 

When Mangog was announced for March 2021, I predicted he would be the synergy partner, which proved true.

MAILBAG: MORPH 

Kevin Sidney has appeared in a couple different recognizable personas, perhaps most mainstreamed in X-Men the Animated Series. 

He’s rank 284, so if you’re a fan, go vote through this part of the Wishlist.

Odin’s Champion Spotlight

Some history of community hype on Odin

The MCOC Wishlist Poll

Odinsleep vs my Groot idea (with @imaginejim): 

My Groot, not in-fight, would take damage to prevent a teammate K.O.

MCOC Odin gains Odinsleep abilities when his teammates win. 

I’ve been pushing for dormant “between fights” abilities for a while.

It’s a GREAT idea! @MarvelChampions

Feige: “Legions”

Remember how Kevin Feige said there are “legions” of fans of previous Marvel TV shows? 

FX’s canceled Legion is one of those shows, albeit not in the MCU, yet.

David Haller, aka LEGION, is the #45 most wanted champ last I looked.

GOTTA LOVE A GOOD COVER 
Machine-Man Vol. 2 #1 (October 1984)

The covers in this series are artistically ambitious and unique. #1 is intricate and mechanical without losing a certain 1980s flair.

Machine-Man is the 145th most wanted Marvel character for Marvel Contest of Champions.

FEMME FRIDAY: NAKIA
Black History Month

Though NAKIA has little exposure since the Black Panther movie, her low rank seems odd given her combat readiness, cool Wakandan tech, and her rather strong supporting role in that film.

FEMME FRIDAY: MONICA
Black History Month

The first comics female Captain Marvel is [SPOILERS] now one of the newly blossoming supers in the landscape of the newborn MCU Phase 4. This woman belongs in the top 100, if not the top 50 most wanted-champs.

CLAIRE TEMPLE is the doctor (MCU nurse) who helps supers. Imagine bringing her along on a quest so your non-KO'ed champs gradually heal between fights! Would be a desirable utility in @MarvelChampions

We can see why 100+ Summoners upvoted this badass, carpet-bombing upgrade. See my build idea below. Looking closely, maybe the armor accommodates his leg braces?

WARMACHINEDSDAY: GOTTA LOVE A GOOD COVER
Iron Man vol. 1 #282 (July 1992)

Hmmm. Marco is right. This classic War Machine armor wouldn’t look BAD on my roster. Gotta love that early ‘90s neon flair, too. Gorgeous.
