This design should never become a skin. (Spoilers for Defenders of Light and Dark 2)

This is the first time EVER in comic history where Tyrone doesn’t have a body. They just straight up got rid of him. Out of all the designs for power ups you couldn’t think of one that allowed the black man to keep his body???

We deserve a Chadwick Boseman skin for the path to doomsday event

There's no way we don't get a skin for Infinity War

It's gonna be legendary it's going to honor Chadwick name

It might be free who knows bc it might be immoral to make money off a dead guy but it has to happen now

Is it too early to want another Storm skin ??

Storm is so dope in X-men 97 we got to see Auntie Roro in full effect wit her being a teacher too (I would buy that skin as well) but I think we should get X-men 97 skins for all the mutants in rivals there’s a few they can choose from (X-corp/New X men) But I do think we should get this skin here at some point with her controlling the solar flare like she did in the show as a MVP would be cool what yall think I kinda yapped a bit

How would you feel about having an earth 63 version of a character be added

I just learned about this reality where mutants come from African descent and I would think it would be interesting to have a character like angel or beast be from this earth especially because in rivals not all characters are from the same universe. Captain America being from 2099 and psylocke not being Betsy etc.

Midnight Angel (Okoye) Moveset concept

Role: Vanguard
Health: 550

Primary: Spear Combo
Okoye does 3 hits with her spear and then for the fourth one she charges forward like Angela’s primary, but it also marks enemies and gives them an electrocuting effect for a short time.

Secondary: Vibranium Drop Kick
Okoye slams the spear onto the ground and then grabs it and does a spin kick while holding it that knocks enemies away.

Move 1: Vibranium Absorption
Okoye enters a state where she gains reduced damage taken and a mark in the center of her screen charges. Once it reaches max she exits the state and releases a massive vibranium blast knocking enemies away

Move 2: Wakandan Combo
Okoye throws her spear forward and then disappears with a techy kinda glitchy purple effect. She then re-manifests/teleports to where the spear was thrown. If the spear hit an enemy then after re-.manifesting she pulls the spear out the enemy and then kicks them back while also giving herself slight shielding.

Move 3: Deflecting Shield
Okoye slams her spear onto the ground it creates a forcefield like shield with 300 health that absorbs ranged attacks and fuels it to lower Okoye and anyone else in the shield’s cooldowns.

ULTIMATE: LOYALTY TO THE THRONE
Okoye does a loud call and then summons a wakandan armored elephant that lets out a loud trumpet that gives all allies nearby overshield and slightly fuels their Ult charge.

After canceling Blade, Armor Wars, and Wonder Man, Marvel uses their biggest IP to cast a black man kidnapping and torturing 2 white women.

A Weird Pattern With People Downplaying The Storm Drama

I would just like to point out something strange I've been noticing.

I've been seeing so many people using pick rates to wave off Storm, Blade, and to a lesser extent BP not getting nearly as much skin attention as others.

The weird thing is that each of these characters, again BP to a lesser extent, only have low pick rates because they are underpowered as hell.

So the dominoes fall as such.

- Black characters are neglected in balancing and power fantasy fulfillment.

- Underpowered black characters then get picked less because people want to win.

- The underuse of these black characters is then used as justification to further neglect then for skins.

I'm not saying this is something intentional the company is doing, as it's definitely possible that it is due to unchecked subconcious biases.

But what I will say is that it very closely resembles many forms of systemic racism seen throughout the world, especially in America, where black schools are underfunded, causing black students to get worse education outcomes, causing them to be trapped in poverty, then causing their children's schools to be funded less.

It is a cycle of either intentional OR unintentional neglect causing further neglect down the road to become "justified".

Please consider this before disregarding peoples' complaints by just saying "no skins because low pick rates."

Being a Moon Girl fan sucks

Constantly reminded that she can’t be added despite various suggested work arounds, but even if she couldn’t why couldn’t she get the same treatment as Peni in terms of skins and MVPs

Apparently we should be grateful she has voicelines and an emote that will practically never be seen. Simultaneously some people think she’s represented enough whilst most people are more than content with pretending she doesn’t exist, some don’t even have to pretend, I’ve seen people not even realise Moon Girl was in the game since all we see is the dinosaur.

When they released the trailer for the shark Dino skin it pissed me off they had the audacity to say “moon girl approved”. They gave devil a matching skin with Jeff before doing ANYTHING with Moon Girl

This is one of the only other Blade skins, and they wanna jump to “black characters don’t sell”

Like are you kidding me?
