I’m convinced Luna snow haters are actually her biggest fan y’all talk about her more than her fans even when she’s not even mentioned in a post y’all will always turn it back to Luna like at this point I’m convinced y’all are bigger Luna fans than the actual Luna fans

So, I have a few questions that I hope will get answered in a few weeks in a gallery card in an event pass.

First is, How did Parker meet Oblivion? When did Parker meet Oblivion? It's obvious Parker already knew Oblivion before he was put in prison. He says he recognizes the cloak when he first finds it, and when he escapes Oblivion or an aspect of him because he's wearing the cloak is waiting there for him. The question is when. We followed relatively close to Parker's story in the Infinity Comics, but leaving that out felt odd to leave out, unless they would reveal it later. Finding Oblivion's cloak was probably Parker's first mission and how he became his patron.

Second is, How did Parker know Kingpin had the cloak? How did Kingpin acquire Oblivion's cloak? Parker has been watching Kingpin closely, setting a plan to ambush him, and subsequently get himself thrown in The Vault. The question is how did he know Kingpin had the cloak and knew it was in The Vault? A Murder Foretold mentioned a prophecy about a red-hooded figure by the Akkaban. Maybe the Akkaban cult found out and told him where to find it? When Parker's "ambush" goes awry, he tells his crew that he was wrong about which car Fisk was in. It's basically implied later that was Parker's plan. He wanted to be captured by Fisk, because he knew exactly where Oblivion's cloak was, The Vault. He just didn't know where. He literally fell and stumbled into where it was, which is very Parker. The second question is how did Fisk acquire the cloak? Did he take it from Oblivion's original host? Did he buy it at an auction? How did he know what Oblivion's cloak was?

Third is, What does this mean for the lore and the future? Is Parker currently working with Clan Akkaba? Does Clan Akkaba worship Oblivion? Is Parker going to become Clan Akkaba's leader and lead the cult? Will Parker bring together other villains for his goal in a gang or join Doom in the Cabal?

Parker is smart and crafty, so he definitely had a plan the whole time, I'm just wondering how it came about. This probably doesn't mean anything in reality, it would just be cool if did. Rivals has some pretty good lore they are building up, and Oblivion through Parker would be a cool background villain who is always lurking around, quietly amassing powers and creating alliances and an empire. Then when Mephisto is introduced, he squares off with Ghost Rider, and it's a multiversal battle between Mephisto and Oblivion through Ghost Rider and The Hood, continuing their war in Final Vengeance.

They removed Oblivion's cloak from it's case in the Lower Manhattan defense final spawn. I wish it was shattered like he broke it and stole it, but I guess I'm asking for too much for a small map detail. I called this when the map was first revealed, that it would be missing when The Hood is released.

I hate NetEase now, they gave me hope that someone was actually going to add his wife/ex-wife and daughter to his lore, unlike a certain iteration, I'm looking at you MCU. My life is ruined, the character is trash. It's all over. Literally unplayable now. This is the worst decision in the history of decisions. A complete TRAVESTY!!!

Seriously, why? Why give fans hope that Sara and Bri would be added to lore just to rip it away? Was this some sort of joke to you? What would you do if I took an important thing away from your favorite character, huh? I'm going to find you devs, and I will bring darkness and oblivion with me.

The Hood's shop skin release partner has to be Moon Knight, it's the most obvious set up of the season. I personally would want Ghost Ripper or Hunter's Moon for this season. Ghost Ripper is the outfit that is literally just armored Khonshu and makes sense for a Khonshu themed half season. Hunter's Moon is Khonshu's second avatar and it would be cool if Moon Knight got a legendary skin for Hunter's Moon with new voicelines and stuff, cutting out the Marc/Steven/Jake lines and subbing in some for Dr. Badr. Now, if we are going off lore, I think the best choice is Moon Knight's pure white outfit from Age of Khonshu. For The Hood's we could get his usual casual outfit or the outfit from Ironheart if we get a Moon Knight vs The Hood battle.

In our new reveal of his design, Parker has a prominent silver ring on his left ring finger. The finger you usually wear your wedding band on. This suggests he might be married to Sara in Rivals' lore. We'll learn more about this when his interactions are revealed, but this a plus in my book if it's true. One of the things you could not take away from Parker's whole character, was his family. Sara and Brianna were always his motivation. Even when he went off the deep end, he still wanted them happy, even if that meant never seeing him again. Now, I'm hoping that Brianne or Sara are his accessory.

What are the chances that "No One Beats The Hood!" will be his ult voiceline? It seems too front and center to not be his ult voice line. Cyclops' Ult line was his scream from the S8 trailer so it's safe to assume that The Hood's is from the Season 9 trailer. Honestly, I'm down. I had the "I want you dead!" line from the comics as my ult line wish, but this is pretty good. I could also see it being a lien from the Infinity Comics, maybe for his second one. "I'll Take What's Mine!" or something like that. I'd also like to hear your opinions on it and what you would want his ult lines and maybe some other voicelines to be.

I had an epiphany and I hope this isn't the case. The problem with The Hood basically being an OC in Rivals is that he's completely disconnected from the lore and connections of the comics. I hope that isn't the case, but I'm not too hopeful. They kept some things like his connection to Kingpin and his cousin John King, though those already seem to not be a part of the story anymore. They also changed his origin and his early motivations, though I think I do like the new version. The problem is that he loses connections to people and places. He loses his connection to Doctor Strange, though I hope this isn't the case. He loses lore about certain maps and places in the game, like when he tried to rob Asgard in Illuminati. These aren't important parts, but they just add little lore bits to the character and references that his fans would get. I hope they don't take away those little lore bits by trying to make something new. They should try to be accurate as possible with lesser known characters and add every bit of lore and world building from the comics that they can so people learn more about the characters and can go learn more in the comics and not be confused when it's completely different. I don't, that's just my rant. I would like to hear your honest opinions on the matter, from those who know the character and are not new. I also don't want any sarcasm and rudeness.

How do we feel about a ship between The Hood and Magik. They have some things in common. They both turn into demons that make them lose their sense of humanity. They both have the attitude that would bite your head off if you messed with them. They have a soft side, but through years of hardship and being slaves to a higher, darker power they don't really show it well, or have lost the things that gave them solace.

They have a teamup in Rivals but we haven't seen Parker's demon transformation or heard their interactions. I think, behind Parker's lust for power, they could get a long and give each other a shared haven for both of their demons.

The Hood is featured on the Season 9 title screen opposite of Moon Knight, representing the good and bad side of the gods.

The Hood is featured on the Thebes cinematic stealing the tablet of death.

Season 9's lore describes The Hood's creation, his motivations. and his reasons for being in Thebes.

We would like to ask you what user flairs you would like for the server? We will take the most popular ones and add them to the flair list. We will also add skin flairs when they come out.

Parker and Cloak have a teamup. I concepted and requested this. I'm dissatisfied he doesn't have anything with Strange.

Parker and Jubilee are getting a teamup.

As we all know, the season reveal is tomorrow. They are mixing some things up and doing it as a stream instead. What are you looking forward to in the season reveal trailer?
