My Adepticon Predictions

 

Welcome back to SGP. Today I give you my predictions to which new characters will be shown off at the AMG Panel at Adepticon and my reasoning for it. 

I'll of course cover the event in detail after the fact but this is a fun little project to warm us up and see just how far from the truth I was. 

Let's start: 

Full stat card reveals: 

Phoenix and Phoenix Unleashed. 

Here we get the confirmation (again) that she is a transformation character and will see the reserve keyword appear on a stat card for the first time as Phoenix Unleashed will spawn Grunts after the transforms. 

We'll get at least three more reveals of the front side of the stat cards for the June releases. I'm guessing it's going to be Exodus, Avalanche and Ronin but it could be any of the six. Highly unlikely to see all of them though. Probably a TTC from each pack will be revealed alongside them. 

We're also going to see them fully painted for the first time. 


New Characters 

Spider-Verse pack. 

We already know that Spider-Man 2099 is going to be in the pack and that there will be more inside. I'm predicting: Spider-Ham, Spider-Punk and Silk. All of them showed up on TTCs already. 


New Mutants pack 

It will contain Wolfsbane, Cannonball, Danny Moonstone and Magma. And make the New Mutants an actual affiliation. 


Sebastian Shaw 

With the changes to Hellfire Club having an actual affiliation list it is only a matter of time for the Black King to show up and bring some affiliated TTCs with him. 


Nimrod 

We know he's in the pipeline and Sentinels are in desperate need of help. 


Scorpion

Being the main villain in Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man only means he's gotten more famous lately but it's already very obvious that he's in the pipeline for the game appearing on multiple TTCs and the box art for Just the Parker Luck. 


The Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom 

Yeah you can all finally stop asking after this panel. They might not come out until Q1 or 2 2026 but the FF and Doom will have finally been greenlit by Marvel with the movie coming out shortly (and yes that is the reason they aren't already. Marvel has to greenlight every character AMG wants to use first. There's a reason the FF also don't show up on any TTCs for example when many characters not yet in the game do). 


Shard and Forge

Two new members for the X-Force and Forge will be confirmed to be the second leader. 


Bastion 

He's only going to show up as an art piece at the very end of the panel (or the MCP Part at least) and he's going to be the model in the 2026 X-Men 97 focused crisis card pack. 



Single Person starter sets 

We learned at the trade show GAMA that there will be single person starter sets containing some reprinted characters as well as dice and range/ movement tools. Shown off, without spoiling their full contents were X-Men and Spider-Foes. I think it's a pretty safe bet to expect Brotherhood of Mutants and Web Warriors to be in the mix for this kind of deal box at the very least. Maybe even more. 


What I don't expect: 

Updates to existing characters. Ben Ransom said those would happen "at an event you'd expect something like that to happen" which to me sounds more like Ministravaganza as that always brought the big changes. 


That's it for today.

    Where do you think FF and Doom will land in affiliation? Are you predicting they will be in Avengers and Cabal respectively, or do you think there will be FF and FF Villain affiliations (maybe some sort of Cosmic Conquerers affiliation for FF villains, which would be thematically appropriate for Blastar or Annihilus?)

    Also cheers from the US my friend.

      I think FF would be their own Affiliation. She-Hulk, Medusa and maybe one or more of the Peter Parkers could be affiliated with them. Doom is more difficult. He's sure to have the peerless keyword. Cabal is definitely possible but maybe also a new Affiliation.

      Keeping my fingers crossed for a FF villains affiliation box with Mole Man

      Once they are in the game (which is a question of when not if) there's a high chance for that.

Affiliation Overview: Web Warriors

  Why should you play the affiliation  Peter Parker is the single most popular character in the world. Miles and Gwen share between them the focus of the two best superhero movies of all time and are extremely popular characters in their own rights.  On the table Web Warriors are a supreme objective play team building off of their core of incredible 3 threats. They are big enough nowadays to offer different approaches too though.  How to start the affiliation  Untypically I don't think getting the affiliation pack is always the best way to start here. While Miles and Gwen are absolute core models to the affiliation, 4 threat Peter Parker will very rarely (if ever) see the table and Venom is decent but really up to personal taste. And seeing how the only real benefit of the affiliation pack is getting the additional Peter for free you can really decide if that's worth it for you. If you own core set 1 you already have the character and if you own core set 2 you h...

Affiliation Overview: Defenders (updated)

  Why should you play the affiliation  Defenders are a giant affiliation containing both the more mystic focused Defenders of Doctor Strange and also the Marvel Knights which made up the Netflix show Defenders.  On the board Defenders have a super deep roster with a tonne of great characters and some variety in play style.  How to start the affiliation Update: In Q2 2025 AMG releases the Defenders affiliation pack which uniquely comes with five models in Doctor Strange, Wong, Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. You have to pick this pack up first and absolutely should.  After that I would first pick up Shang-Chi and Silver Sable followed by Hulk and then Namor and Black Panther, Chosen of Bast. You have your core very much there.The affiliation is very deep and has a lot of good characters but with those mentioned you have your probably most used models in hand already. Also all of the affiliated TTCs. Just note that Pentagrams of Falafel (let me have fun with t...

Affiliation Overview: Midnight Sons (updated rewrite)

Why should you play the affiliation? These are Marvels best Earth based characters. This is a definite objective fact and not just my personal feeling.  They also offer a wide variety of play styles and affiliated models.  How to start the affiliation Update:  Blade, Moon Knight, Doctor Voodoo and Ghost Rider will be combined into a MS affiliation pack, with their current stat cards in all four langues and new art. It releases in April.  Your first purchase here is probably still Blade (leader) and Moon Knight but you could also now start with Elsa Bloodstone (leader) and Man-Thing. Both are good value boxes as both come with a leader and a good affiliated 3 threat. So in the end it's probably best to just get both. Next up you'll want to look at getting a high threat model for which you have 3 options that all have their unique strengths and reasons to be picked. The biggest threat investment but also by far and large his best home comes in the Immortal Hulk. Ghost ...
