Attention, we are planning a 1v1 Hood tournament. If you would like to join, please sign up on the given form. Prizes and rewards are still being debated. Also, join the discord to join the conversation about the tournament.
We are 1 and a half days away from the season 10.5 reveal on Tuesday. What skin would you guys like to see? You can also comment with a skin in the same theme released alongside The Hood.
My prediction is at least a Halloween skin. My want is: The Hood Ghost Rider, a zombie-like skin resembling Zombie Strange, a red riding hood/huntsman/big bad wolf skin concepted by @sgrimp_, the red death similar to Reaper's masquerade skin, or an Oblivion skin, though that should be later, though I can also see it released alongside Eternity Storm.
What skin do you want and what skins do you want in 10.5?
These shots of genuine horror from Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance show why this version of not just The Hood but Ghost Rider too is so badass. I know we probably won't get this till Ghost Rider but this would be the perfect skin for Halloween. The first issue of this miniseries is literally called "The Hood's Infernal Halloween." This has the potential to be the best skin in the game and the most customized. Infernal bullets, you can give make his veil and mantle orange, red, and yellow for the hellfire effects, or just give the veil and mantle trails of hellfire coming off of them. His voidwalk ability should also leave a hellfire trail as he fades away, seeing that it doesn't actually turn you fully invisible. When he charges and activates leaded transformation, the cloak erupts in hellfire flames like it does in the comic when he powers up. His ult could also be the combined hellfire pistols on the cover of issue #2.
You can also make his outfit highly customizable by letting him remove the cloak, customize the shoulder pads, customizing his knee pads and belt buckle. You can maybe even make it where you can change the skull back to his regular face but keep the flaming eyes. You can also give it a couple recolors like blue and green for the different ghost riders.
This skin just has so much potential, and NetEase has shown it can make insanely high quality skins like Zombie Doctor Strange, Punkchild, Polarity Bond, etc. I know they can give this skin the justice it deserves, whether it comes out near Halloween or it comes out alongside Ghost Rider, possibly in his Final Vengeance outfit. Honestly, Ghost Rider should have come out alongside The Hood, and it was a missed opportunity to not do that, unless Ghost Rider was delayed for some reason.
The Hood has gained a new empire of darkness. A harrowing adversary that his enemies will never see coming, unless he wants them to. Infernal Vengeance Cloaked in Crimson. The Criminal Underworld's Final Vengeance.
I desperately need Black Knight in this game. I've played a lot of Marvel Mystic Mayhem and Matthew Mercer sounds genuinely awesome as Dane Whitman. It seems right up his alley with all his DND voice acting. I desperately need NetEase to just bring both of these two together into Rivals.Tell me what you think. I need my boy. If I get this, I have all 3 of my top 3 characters in the game, I need Ghost Rider for top 5. Winter Soldier, Black Knight, The Hood, Ghost Rider, Gambit.
Hi, I don't mean to intrude, but would y'all mind doing something for me. I am a college senior in a social research and I made a survey on workplace safety that I need 50 people to complete. If you wouldn't mind, can you please fill this out for me. It should take like ~20 minutes. It's pretty simple and non-intrusive. If you have any problems with it, you are free to back out.

If I can get a majority of the responses by Friday, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
They are trying to kill our boy in the main subreddit. Trying to gut him like Deadpool. We need to stop this quickly before he gets lost to obscurity like most of the tanks got they got over nerfed or power crept.
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.
Now that we are officially one week away from the trailer for The Hood, what are some things you'd like to see revealed? I personally would like to see a dual mode reveal with a human and demon mode, and hopefully that arm cannon mode is his ultimate or something. I'd also like to see an intro and MVP that shows off his powers. Also, hopefully we get the sitting emote quickly instead of having to wait for a season to get it. An emote with the cross arms pose holding his guns in diagonal angles opposite from each other would be a cool emote. I think the pose in his concept might be character select. I'd also just like to see some of the stuff I wished for months ago to maybe be on the character, rather that be moveset or interactions. Now it's your turn, what would you like to see added to the character?

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.
Hi Hoods, this is your patron speaking. I am setting up a megathread for all your juicy little lore speculations and talks about skins, accessories, MVP's, etc. This is so when they do get posted, they don't get lost in the pile of things you horde, including the divorce papers and child support, or is that your other version.
To do this: Posters will post their post and put a link and summary in the megathread so it is easily reachable and organized and doesn't get lost in the void, though some of y'all could visit sometime, it's lonely. Hopefully with this system, everybody's posts will be seen by new and current members of the community, and whatever hobo wanders in.
Also, please make sure to use post flairs, they really help me understand your intentions. Tiny human brains cannot speak coherently to celestial deities like myself. I don't know how the f*ck Khonshu does it.
Thank you, and continue to Hood or whatever you do.
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.
