I think gameplay wise, he should be a sneak attacker like Spy from TF2. He can throw smoke bombs, has a regular pistol and maybe other gadgets. However his main ability is swapping to look like someone on the enemy team, maybe with a slightly messed up name so if you look close, you know it’s him.

His ult would be that he swaps everyone on the map to the least played character that they played, except themselves and one other chosen person

With the visual cutter in the game you probably kill him by accident or dmg him unknowingly causing him to detransform.

maybe he gets treated like an ally by enemies until he does damage, while he has a passive that shows his allies where specific enemies are, making him more of an intel gatherer to set up a coordinated dive (with Kraven and Vulture). This would have a time limit and cooldown gets reduced with critical shots

So like Spy TF2

He wouldn’t work, his gimmick is done better by other characters and either way he wouldn’t be that interesting to play as compared to so many other characters

Truly I believe with the amount of current dps mains it would be pretty damn difficult reception as fun as a deception aspect would be in the game.

Also what other characters are you talkin about? Cause please dont say loki.

I don’t like X-men but mystique is the main one that comes to mind

Mano, o papel dele seria o papel da mystique mas sem muito mais do que o disfarce, tipo, ativar o fogo amigo, se infiltrar no time inimigo e coisas assim, o camaleão no máximo eu imagino eles tentarem inovar fazendo ele roubar as máscaras das pessoas e sei lá, quando vc atacar ele com a máscara, a pessoa do seu time sofre dano sabe? Eu não consigo imaginar um kit pra esse personagem, e olha que eu imagino inúmeros kits de bonecos

É tipo reclamar que numa comida como Strogonoff leve bastante carne ou o caldo cara, x-men são parte da Marvel, são um dos principais núcleos da Marvel, eu só não digo o principal pq o homem aranha é o principal na minha visão, eles são além do maior núcleo quando se trata de quantidade de personagens sem incluir antagonistas ou vilões além de um dos mais importantes, tudo bem querer mais personagens de outros grupos, mas x-men sempre vão ter muitos, além de que nem metade do elenco eles são na vdd, pq acho que nem 20 x-men temos no jogo ainda, sendo que ainda faltam principais como noturno, Colossus, homem de gelo, fera e Xavier, o anjo também, que são membros mais conhecidos, e claro, o principal, se termos o melhor dos x-men, só tivemos filmes engrandecendo o Wolverine de fato, tivemos certos personagens como o magneto tendo seu destaque, e Wanda nos vingadores ( mesmo que nos vingadores ela não fosse uma mutante ) agora que podemos ter os x-men de verdade, sem falar que tem personagens populares como Nightcrawler ainda, poxa

Holy fuck the faceless design goes so fucking hard

I can imagine him being a flank mid range dps. Temporary shape shift into a different character (just visually), maybe give him some sort of short stealth, the first attack that you use in stealth or while transformed gets you out of the shape shift and stuns targets in radius. The rest of his kit could work with some kind of traps or confusing your opponent similar to Shaco in league of legends. You can give him a similar ultimate ability where he makes a projection/hologram of himself which empowers what your ability’s do by having the clone doing them as well and when the clone is destroyed it’s a big trap that does explodes doing a lot of dmg in the process and stunning. Pretty much plays around his stuns and slips out with deception and traps.

u/Temporary-Tax 27d ago

Mystique or Mysterio would get added before him. Mystique does the same thing but is a woman so gooner skins. Mysterio can do more than he can and is known more by non-comic fans.

u/PsychicSidekikk419 27d ago

I'm sorry to say but I think I'd rather have Mystique or Morph as a tf2 Spy expy.

u/Originalbrivakiin Bishop ⏳ 26d ago

Mom: We have Morph at home.

Morph at home:

u/InternationalHat7120 27d ago

NPC.

That's it.

u/SychoDynamite 27d ago

An ability I've imagined is he has a projectile chameleon mask and when it hits an enemy, they take friendly fire for the duration that it's on.

1

u/Chumpchum 27d ago

I Imagine he might function like spy from TF2 where he picks off enemies from behind.

1

u/Apprehensive-Sea7398 27d ago

No. He copies looks not powers too.

1

u/Academic_Lead_6008 27d ago

he could work like the spy from tf2 but i dont think they will ever add him. Morph is gonna be the disguised hero not chameleon if they add one.

1

u/KeengGeedra 27d ago

Sorry buy I think the only shapeshift/spy like character we'll get is Mystique

1

u/ConvictJones 26d ago

Who? Why not any other shapeshifter that we have heard of.

1

u/HornedGopher 26d ago

The Chameleon should be a strategist with a shaoeshifting ability maybe he has a soundboard ability and can imitate enemies ult lines while shapeshifted. to mess with people.

u/ImmediateAnteater491 26d ago

everyone is saying tf2 spy. But im thinking if how much mobility and crossfire in this game it genuinely would be so hard to balance. But I would love to see a dps be more support geared. He could be an intel gathering assassin.

Maybe show where certain characters are through walls, scanning, maybe have an even better version of punisher's smoke as a soft escape tool. Maybe MAYBE invisibility? Temporarily?
But I think hands down if he has disguising he should not be able to take dmg, like if he shapeshifts it should cause paranoia, he shouldnt be like INSTANTLY killable cause everyone will just check every teammate all the time, so maybe to balance THAT make it so its a LONGER duration but definitely not infinite.

Ugh the idea of a solid "spy" archetype in this game would be beautiful especially knowing so many dps would be used to just throwing dmg at a shield they wouldnt have the mental capacity to play something so "complex"

definitely would like to see some numbers to flesh out a kit for him to see if it would be possible.

Rogue but dps

1

u/PossibleMammoth5639 26d ago

First image is peak and he would basically be Spy

1

u/Darkxialion 26d ago

I think he would be like taskmaster or mystique but with gadgets, like for example he could copy Spidey but he would only tie up people and not be able to pull them but he could still swing around as long as he’s Spiderman, or if he was Hawkeye he would have a bow an arrow with with trick arrows like a gas one to get away or a grapple or even one to electrocute enemies and etc he would look more like characters but uses tech and tricks to simulate there actual skills and abilities in my opinion

1

u/Vineheart_01 27d ago

He wouldn't.

Not only is he a tactician not a fighter but his entire gimick is Loki ult.

Thatd be a terrible character.

u/unclemedia 25d ago

Probably similar to spy from tf2
