So keep in mind that when you see an ETA it's only an estimate and nothing is final till it's actually on the live server. This is the process used from start to finish for those wondering: 1. Implementation. 2. Testing, 3. Q&A. 4. Whitelist testing, 5. TC testing, 6. Public Release. https://forums.marvelheroes.com/disc...nt-and-devs/p1

☆☆ 2016 PLAYABLES ☆☆
☯ BLACKBOLT ☯
He will be the next playable after Beast.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: When Collins got around to talking about Black Bolt, he mentioned the scale of how powerful he is in the game. “Black Bolt is obviously going to be a fun one to do, what with his power set. Although I will say if you’ve read any of the recent Uncanny Inhumans stuff they actually portray his powers has having visual beams and such.” Collins mentioned he’ll have some really powerful AoEs that will allow players to destroy thugs really quickly, but he doesn’t have a lot of trademark abilities that focus on one person. “He’ll still be good at that, but we try to keep these characters in the same band of powers.”
☯ NICK FURY ☯
For a long time, even before Nick Fury was announced to be a playable in the AP4, Mr. Brevik and other devs hinted him being playable and a summoner. They referred to Nick Fury as "Nickromancer". On the 01/20/17 MH live stream they hinted that once again. They also mentioned that you would be able to control the minions. This type of mechanic was mentioned to be coming with Team Ups when they were announced, it's unclear at this time if that's still the plan for Team Ups though.
There was a thread asking if playable Nick Fury will be black or white. The white Fury has been Senior and black has been Junior(Google it). Ryolnir said on 03/28/16 "He's not Nick Fury Jr. in our universe, since it's a slight amalgamation of 616/Ultimate/various others, FWIW."
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: “With Nick Fury you’re going to see some S.H.I.E.L.D. summoning, some L.M.D. action, some of his crazy gadgets like jetpacks, the needle gun, all the goodness from the classic Steranko days, as well as some newer tech and weaponry. Probably some movie-inspired stuff as well because how could we not?”
He will still be voiced by Keith David.
☆☆☆☆☆ TEAM UPS ☆☆☆☆☆
☯ PUNISHER, MARVEL'S DAREDEVIL ☯
There were some issues with this team up and he is still being worked on.
☯ MEDUSA ☯
She will be coming with Black Bolt
☆☆☆☆ OTHER CHARACTERS MENTIONED ☆☆☆☆
NOTE: This section is not limited to only playables.
☯ (ARCH)ANGEL ☯
This character has been hinted at for the longest time to be coming soon as a playable character and has been stated to be pushed back from the AP2. Angel has been heavily hinted at that he would be apart of the AP3 by several devs. In 2015 it was mentioned that he was on the short list for the AP3. It was stated that X-Men were picked for the AP3 already and hence the reason they would be excluded from the AP3 poll which Angela won.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: When talking about Wasp(see Wasp section), Ryolnir said "With this year, we’re finishing up the original X-Men line-up" I want to point out that Angel/Archangel is an original X-Men and after Beast becoming playable Angel would be the only original X-Man left. Seeing how Ryolnir knows him comics very well, this could be a hint at something. I also want to mention that when the poll went up that Angela won, it was mentioned that Gaz had already picked out the Xmen(there was more than one) they were going to have in the AP3. For now this is only speculation.
☯ GAMORA ☯
This character was part of a poll for the a chance to be in the 2016 playables, but she didn't win.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: Ryolnir mentioned he would love to make her playable and that she is one of his top 3 picks.
☯ AGENT VENOM ☯
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: “I would love to do Agent Venom. We just did him as a team up and had such a great fan reaction. He brings just a lot of great visuals to the table, so I would love to do him." He also mentioned that this was one of his top 3 picks for playable.
☯ WASP ☯
She was apart of the Poll for the last spot for the AP3 but she didn't win.
On 03/23/16 a Newsarama article was posted featuring Ryolnir: I would love to do Wasp, I think she would be awesome. With this year, we’re finishing up the original X-Men line-up so I think sometime it would be great if we could finish up the original Avengers line-up." Ryolnir also said this was one of his top 3 picks as playable.
☯ CLOAK AND DAGGER ☯
Several devs have mentioned that Cloak and Dagger were their number 1 pick for playable. A couple devs have mentioned that if made playable they would be a single character and that they most likely would bring a new gameplay mechanic to Marvel Heroes.
☯ MODOK ☯
Ryolnir stated on 03/02/16 that he really wants to add MODOK.
Fun fact: At one point he was on Gaz's short list for the Ap3.
☯ BLIZZARD ☯
Voice Actor - Michael Benyaer
☯ SIRYN ☯
Someone made a comment about adding Siryn as a team up or playable on twitter on 03/18/16 and the MH twitter account responded with "maybe next year". I wasn't going to add this to the thread as I don't really think much of the reply. But if something more comes of this I will update it.
☆☆ BOSSES AND MOBS SECTION ☆☆
Mob Improvements - On the 06/03/16 stream when a player asked about if there will be any changes to mobs to make them more interesting and have diversity, ChufMoney stated that "there's work being done to better differentiate the "mob soup."
☯ GRIM REAPER ☯
On the 01/20/17 Live stream they showed off Gazillion created concept art for one of the current bosses in Marvel Heroes, Grim Reaper. @Lord talked about how they were going to try and do more of this for the game in the future.
☯ DR. OCTOPUS ☯
Asros posted on 09/07/16 "Doc Ock is getting a VU, not sure what the status of it is. I'll check today." A short time later he posted "Checked on Doc Ock, its moving along, needs some new animations and rigging. The model looks great, so excited!"
☯ GREEN GOBLIN ☯
Ryolnir said on 02/01/16 "Green Goblin may get a visual update due to the new model (like Black Cat) but I would expect anything in the first Chapter to get looked at first."
Talk of BOOSTS!!
Bonus Item Find aka BIF will be coming to Marvel Heroes either this week or next as stated on the official stream last week. BIF is a new option to speed up the item grind for your heroes. These boosts will be available in the store and they will also be given out as daily login as well as possibly a login reward from time to time. You will get BIF experience bar at the bottom of your screen and as you play and get exp you will level the bar, when it finally fills up you will get a box of loot filled with different things. The BIF box only contains things that you can currently get in game already. With the launch of BIF there will be an NPC Vendor up for a limited amount of time that will allow you to sell back your old boosts for various amounts of "BIF Bucks" that you can spend on the 4 new boosts.

Black Bolt leaps into Marvel Heroes
February 23, 2017 Justin Olivetti 8 comments
Maybe you missed it, but Marvel is no longer going to be making an Inhumans movie. Instead, it's decided to adapt the comic series
into a TV show for this fall on ABC that will also have a two-hour IMAX premiere. With that in mind, it seems understandable why
Marvel Heroes would want to get Black Bolt into the game.
With today's update, the leader of the Inhumans joins the roster
as the 61st playable hero. "Having experienced terrigenesis before he was born, Blackagar Boltagon was granted frighteningly destructive powers," said the introduction.
"Though he justly serves the people of Attilan through the wise words his council, he chooses his own words to protect Attilan from those who would put the Inhumans in danger."
In addition to Black Bolt,
Marvel Heroes has made some improvements to hero animations and power speed, upgraded three of the game's story chapters, and pushed through the major summoning changes that have been in the works for a while now. You'll also now only need to go to your hero roster to unlock new heroes and team-ups with eternity splinters, as Adam Warlock has been retired from this duty.
