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...

Battlefield roles for every MCP character (A-C)

  First Up thanks to fellow MCP Redditor and Painting Guides Blogger SourImplant for the idea! Take a look at their great guides here .  We will look at every character in the game (starting with A-C today) and give them a rating of 1(bad) to 5 (great) at these categories:  Speed :  How fast does the character move, including any superpowers that support it. Durability :  How well can the character survive enemy attacks. This includes healthpool, defensive stats but also superpowers like Damage reduction or Healing Factor or the turning off of enemy crits.  Damage output :  This contains both attacks but also superpower throws, especially bigger terrain throws. It also takes attack types and stuff like Rapid Fire and Beams into account.  Range :  At what Range can the character operate at? This will not always take the characters longest range attack but might find the middle on those and try to show where they want to operate at realisticall...

Adepticon 2025 Reveals evaluated

  The big AMG Adepticon Panel has come and gone and I've had some time to digest everything and will give my opinions and of course I'll compare the reveals with my predictions.  (As always click on the images to enlarge them) Gambit has gotten a much needed update:  His Gainer lost a dice but changed to Energy.  His Spender has the trigger changed to a wild Stun.  He can now walk in any direction with his reactive superpower instead of just away from the character that attacked him.  He lost the superpower to add dice to his attacks.  He has gained an incredible innate superpower that lets him always count wilds double while attacking, defending and dodging. Very thematically fitting and cool.  Is that enough? Yeah I think so. He's kind of a 3 threat slot machine now where his wilds mean so much, that rerolls (offensively and defensively) are fantastic with him. His TTC Dark Past remains the strongest argument to play him still though which is wh...
