Lady Hellbender Art in Connection with GotG the Game

Context: Alice X Zhang tribute art—Lady Hellbender as Bonnie Tyler on Holding Out For A Hero album cover

New to @GOTGTheGame last week, Lady Hellbender has been on the wishlist for a while. Despite 115+ Summoners’ approval, her rank has cooled to #399

Is she important enough for @MarvelChampions now?

VOTE ranks 376-400 ranks 401-425

Xialing is not on the MCOC Wishlist and I don't think she'll be in tournament 3, which the @MCOCwishlist editors are running

But she is on the third panel of the #GabeGrid (my personal MCOC wishlist) I bet she'll land on the radar for the actual MCOC Wishlist before long

RECENT RANK: ORRGO

Context: Kalantak tweets first look at Orrgo WIP

Orrgo is an old Kirby monster, an alien who in recent years begrudgingly joined SHIELD's monster team. Shoul he be ranked higher than 349 on the MCOC Wishlist? To vote for him, click the link and type Orrgo into the search bar. https://bit.ly/3CvfKBO

That Dazzler Poster!

Star-Lord bought this Nova Corps outfit dirt cheap for a protection gig, but it didn't pan out. He kept it anyway for… reasons. Original design for #GOTGgame #CosmicOutfits

The GabeGrid: Panel 3

The third of three panels explained here.

The #GabeGrid: Panel 1

After Jim “ImagineJim” Cassidy released his initial six-by-six grid of the Marvel characters he wished for in Marvel Contest of Champions, I began my own similar grid. 

I did publish a shortened version of this list a few times, limited by the Twitter character limit. But because I was so focused on serving the community of Summoners and reporting on their wishes and conversations, I never finished my own personal wishlist grid.

Eventually Jim published a three-panel, 108-character version that became demi-famous when game creative director Gabe Frizzera remarked that Jim’s grid had around 15 characters then in the works behind the scenes at Kabam. Because Jim’s grid became newly important to our future-champs discussion, I nicknamed it the #JimGrid.

Having now myself retired from video games and no longer consistently making MCOC-related content,¹ I now have had time to occasionally poke at my own grid. On September 17, 2021 I published my own 108-character “GabeGrid,” which represents the collection of Marvel characters I think would make interesting MCOC “champs.” 

This image is my first 36-character panel, and represents, roughly, the top of my own personal wishlist for MCOC.

_______ Notes 1. The MCOC Wishlist and some of its publications are still being carried by a new team of editors. The author, Other Gabe, has retired but is still loosely overseeing the transition to the young, hungry crew who are taking over.
