    Contest of Champions is set in the current Marvel Comics Universe - it is in continuity with the comics in a strange but canon way. So it can have mutants and the Fantastic Four, because they're in the comics. Future Fight is more aligned with the Marvel Cinematic Universe - it has costumes from the movie and characters from the TV shows, right? In the Cinematic Universe, there are no mutants or Fantastic Four.

    I think yes and no. Contest of Champions came out before the deal with Sony to use Spider-man in the MCU. My theory, which I think holds up pretty well, is that Marvel just used all their characters in games when they didn't have rights to Spider-man in movies. But once they had their tent pole character, they were willing to stop doing marketing via new games, shows, and merch for characters outside the MCU. Since Future Fight was the first game that came out after that deal went through, it reflects that new reality.

    If you look at the comics now, mutants and the FF are still there, but the bigger focus is on characters available to the MCU and turning Inhumans into the substitute for mutants. If we see new games released that have all the Marvel stable, we'll know I'm wrong. But if any new games from here on out ignore Fox characters, I nailed it! Actually, I think that DeNa game that came out around the same time as FF (maybe right before in wide launch) also does not have mutants or FF characters.

    Yep, that's what it means. Jerutix's theory seems to be accurate. That's why, of all the Avengers: Age of Ultron characters, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch weren't included. CM Nightnurse (one of the reps on the Mobirum forums) mentioned once that they were "controversially held back" from release, which supports the theory that Netmarble is only allowed to use characters that Marvel has full rights over (as well as the Spider characters, who are in a unique situation due to Marvel Studios' deal with Sony).

    On the bright side, the Marvel Universe is so vast that they can keep pumping out new characters and uniforms for a good long while! Obviously having Black Knight or Karnak isn't as big a draw as having Wolverine or Doctor Doom, but at least it makes for a diverse roster.

    Very true about the vast landscape of heroes/villians to draw on but I do miss my xmen and a small part of me hopes Fox would make a blantantly obvious clone of future fight full of their mutant and fantastic four libraries heh So I could enjoy the same game with all the other characters.

    Its unfortunate that the fans suffer most from the legal issues present between these mega companies (disney/fox).

    I'm almost positive they legally cannot. Fox has the movie rights (plus Fox can sign off on Marvel doing a live action tv show, or vice versa, which will be the case with upcoming Hellfire Club and Legion shows), but Marvel/Disney retains animation, video game, comic book, and merchandising rights for all their characters. That's why its hard to find anything with X-Men on it at any store (except Deadpool, which Disney knows sells like hot cakes).

    But yet it has Spidey and Venom which is owned by Sony.

    My guess is that Sony didnt restrict access to the characters like Fox did.

    elite missions were removed last major update and merged with normal missions. previously normal missions gave exp, currency and lesser components. elite gave more exp, more currency, major components and bio metrics.

    under merged system missions give exp, currency, lesser and major components and up-to-three biometrics a day each.

    Thanks.. that makes sense.

    So at level 39 you guys just grind grind grind at 1% EXP auto play scenario?

    It needs so many biometrics just to get 4 star... and 1% at each auto play seems to take forever to level??

    Gosh i cant imagine level 45.... must be like 10 games for 1%???

    Getting 4* actually isn't that bad, even 5* isn't. The test of patience comes at 6* when you need 320 bios.

    Most of the time when you do maps that are slightly higher than you, you can get 2-3% per run, and you could always buy an exp booster.

    Thor Groot, yey or ney guys? Like his moves, especially the lightning but what's a good team to put him in.

    Lastly I bought some of those promotion gems and I have not received the other item which they said we should be receiving around 12/02.

    At this rate, this is one of the most generous games you will ever find on the appstore I believe. But each to their own.

    The bios you can get per day changes depending on the character, for some it's 3 per day but there are lots of characters you can get 12 per day, 9 per day etc.

    Yeach black panther is a different story, I think he is only farmable via dimension rift. I don't even try him.

    Dimension rift and the first mission in chapter 8.
    Mostly people rely on bio selectors for characters like him. I'm farming Black Bolt and malketh right now, and I'm treating them the same way. But for some reason universal characters are hard to pull in the boxes, so getting bio selectors for him is taking a while. This is where the most obvious option comes in, IAP, I've been playing for 3 months and I'm VIP4, I managed to make my first and secondary team at decent star levels, but I kept shifting focus on my teams.

    Yup... Get Thor Groot... He's currently top-tier, mostly because of Battleworld. He is generally mediocre, except for his tankiness which involves his heal skill.

    He shines in a Ronan team (all universal), usually with either Thor, Loki, Univision, Ultron or even Destroyer.

    Dumb question, I just started playing a week or so ago. Every day there was a splash sale for 39.99. I waited until payday and now that I put money on my account it never shows up. Was that for Black Friday weekend only or something?

    It pops up once a day. That sounds like the vip4 package, though. I dunno, was it as soon as you logged in, or after?
