I hate how this game treats black characters and the community that defends it

The new swimsuit skins got fully revealed and aside from more gachas the thing I hate most is that storm, one of the most popular mutants in marvel and a leader of the x-men, is an epic skin

Every other female swimsuit skin (except squirrel girl but that's part of the krakoa line of skins) is legendary because OFCOURSE a jewel thief gets a better skin than royalty

I've tried airing my thoughts but it's always "oh so the skin is cheaper" and "legendaries aren't any different from epics" like that doesn't change that every other skin is legendary and Storm is mysteriously epic

And the fact a whole egyptian season goes by and the guy who worships an egyptian cat god gets nothing, I don't even play bp but this pisses me off and his last shop skin being released a year ago with his last legendary being even longer

oh Blade, my sweet baby boy, I wish you were treated better, his post launch skins are: a moon knight skin, a meme skin that's not even available now and a cowboy one

But now let's look to the future, there's been some rumors of blue marvel and crescent coming to the game and whenever I hear that I want to laugh and cry. Blue marvel would be the sickest character ever released but I know he'll be treated worse than shit if he drops and crescent is a 10 year old girl who controls an astral bear thing, this would just be the final nail because what do you mean she can be here but moon girl who's 50% of devil dino can't? Oh and speaking of her, she recently got removed from the alchemax map and while she is getting an emote you likely can't have her on all the time like the things helmet emote

I then look at marvel tokon where Storm is the lead of the unbreakable x-men team, blade is the coldest character in any fighting game and shuri is panther again and a member of the avengers, I hope rivals can just be better but I'm not too hopeful of that anymore

Anyways I think I'm going to play some tokon now to take my mind off things.

Want to read blade, where to start?

Recently picked up rivals again and started playing Blade. Really want a good starting point, self contained story, or team-up with daredevil or moon knight since I love them . I've seen some comics of his from the 90s in my local store but not sure if they're very beginner friendly.

So when ant-man gets in game should it be Hank, Scott or Eric

I'm hoping for Hank because I'm an EMH fan and the ultron interactions plus he has the most ties with characters but I see Eric also having some fun interactions with heroes

Character kit: Muse as a strategist

For context Muse in the comics is an inhuman who has sensory deprivation powers (making him a good villain for DD) so I thought a DPS/strat hybrid would be a good fit like ultron or Adam

His primary would be similar to scarlets maybe with slightly less dps

His secondary would be a 'paint' bomb that he throws, it would deal a burst of damage, the 'paint' heals himself and anyone else standing on it and gives a speed boost

His movement will be him running, spreading 'paint' on the floor, like a splatoon character, this will also heal allies and provide speed boost

He could maybe have an ability to go invis, good for a dps Muse playstyle

His ult would be similar to rogues where he deals continuous damage to enemies and heals to allies but the healing would be proportional to damage so if he dealt 100 damage his allies would heal by 200 or something

I also thought his passive could be that he's unable to be tracked by DD, blade or lower manhattan drones but might be too op for a strat, especially if he's played as a dive dps

Team-ups with blade or jubilee and daredevil, blade/jubilee will reduce CD and increase effectiveness with 'paint' and DD could give him sonic pursuit (DDs dash ability) again if you want to play him as a dive dps
