I'm not seeing much excitement around Dracula, that's fair a lot of folks expected December's hero to be Doctor Doom but lets be patient and let his movie cook first. What might be better is Doom coming in January 2027 a year after Deadpool. He could maybe be our 2nd multi-role hero and this fits the character who adapts scientifically or magically to any threat.. OR maybe after Secret Wars, cause WE KNOW that Doom is not a one-movie threat. Now let's talk Dracula's confirmation which is HUGE for the future of hero (villain*) release diversity. This means we are likely getting BIG BADS like those from PvE modes as playable characters in the future. Knull, Kingpin, Apocalypse, Thanos and more are back on the table! This also leads to something I hope will be implemented one day as the Team-up system makes sense for heroes but not so much for villains. What if two foes are destined to scrap. I want that system be augmented to include the concept of "Rivalries" where banes or boons take effect if they are facing eachother. Spider-Man vs. Venom Thor vs. Gorr Kingpin vs. Daredevil Jean Grey vs. Emma Frost Squirrel Girl vs Thanos Scarlet Witch vs. Doctor Strange Mr Fantastic vs. Namor Black Widow vs. Winter Soldier Magneto vs. Professor X Daredevil vs. Invisible Woman Iron Man vs. Ultron Moon Knight & Blade vs. Dracula Rogue & Gambit vs. Apocalypse Elsa Bloodstone vs. Deadpool The Fantastic Four vs. Doctor Doom The list goes on and on, not every hero needs a rivalry, just like not every hero gets to use their enhanced team ups. It opens up layers to counter-picking more than just by nature of hero design as hitscan, dive, anti-dive, brawler, shred, etc BUT also influenced by lore-associated reasons that lend to the hero fantasy being preserved while also maintaining a competitive edge. Could be fun tbh, cause ain't NO WAY is Dracula getting team-ups from blade or moon knight would make sense, just because they fit the theme, bro they HUNT HIM. #MarvelRivals
