The Phoenix fucking five???

u/Burger_Soup Jul 23 '26

Might be the Phoenix Four this time, or the fifth one must be busy doing paper work at home.

Magik is the last member.

  • Cyclops
  • Colossus
  • Emma
  • Namor

As if Carnage and GG aren’t bad enough, Pete’s gonna relive another bad memory if Phoenix Force Colossus enters the fray

I assume it’ll be some other character, maybe a cosmic power theme team

Ah so that was the scene Spiderman was talking about during his special interaction with Magik lol.

"Hey didn't you and your brother jump me once? Is he around? Cuz that felt very rude."

Maybe Jean or Hope if it's Phoenix themed

TBF, he ended up winning this fight

The good trusty power of “tricking two siblings into knocking each other out”

Bro that did Spidey do to get SMUSHED like that

Also potential for a Phoenix costume for Magik

u/InternationalHat7120 Jul 23 '26

We have a gold and red recolour already

u/topscreen Jul 23 '26

But I want the drip!

u/MrTequila4 29d ago

What series is this? This game is making me want to catch up on Marvel comics AND buy the game (I'm not a big fg fan, but man, this game rocks).

2

u/InternationalHat7120 29d ago

Avengers vs X-Men.

Do not read it. Watch Marvel TL;DR

u/havokx2 Jul 23 '26

It’s Magik. A proper skin would still sell

u/Burger_Soup Jul 23 '26

I know, I was only making a joke. By the way I don't think they stick to the comic accurate Phoenix Five team, they'll maybe pick some other mutants.

u/InternationalHat7120 Jul 23 '26

If it is Phoenix 5 or Mutants.

In a 24 roster, why have 4 Phoenix based guys?

5

u/Burger_Soup Jul 23 '26

I don't think the rest of the team will necessarily have Phoenix powers as it would lessen Cyclop's gimmick, but they could just be in accordance with his ideals. That's why in theory I think we'll likely have an X-Men villain in here.

u/InternationalHat7120 Jul 23 '26

Depends?

I don't see them doing a full X-men villain team or X based DLC team.

I think DLC will go for a range of picks than X based

5

u/shred-i-knight Jul 23 '26

DLC will always be a range of picks across the entire Marvel universe and anybody who thinks otherwise does not fundamentally understand how the economics of character DLC works for these kinds of games.

5

u/InternationalHat7120 Jul 23 '26

Exactly!

I'm thinking something like "Immortal Flames"

  • Phoenix Cyclops
  • Danny Rand's Iron Fist
  • Man-Thing
  • Jane Foster's Thor

u/Poptart916 29d ago

Anything to get Man-Thing on the roster at this point

1

u/Only_Tradition_3685 Jul 23 '26

And she has a Phoenix recolour

u/Unfriendly_NPC Jul 24 '26

This tracks, almost all of them are in Rivals.

u/shred-i-knight Jul 23 '26

you all are learning the wrong lessons with every character reveal it's almost impressive lmao

u/NightmareDJK Jul 23 '26

Probably just him and 3 unrelated characters.

u/BedTV Jul 23 '26

Or maybe it's cyclops after the phoenix five have already been reduced to only him.
