GABE FRIZZERA MENTIONS WILD CHILD 

Wild Child is a #TournamentOfBattlerealmFuture Alumnus often relegated to the role of "Skinny Sabretooth" by those who don't know him well, with added Zoopathy and Mind Control Immunity. Does this pack-leading, mate-seeking, lean, mean, killing machine deserve another shot at a berth on the MCOC Wishlist?

Given the recent name-drop by Marvel Contest of Champions creative director Gabe Frizzera, it seems likely the villain alterego of mutant Kyle Gibney does belong on the MCOC Wishlist.

In answer to a question about which Alpha Flight members and rogues are most desirable for the game, Gabe listed Wild Child among a couple others.

XN INTERVIEWS GABE FRIZZERA: KUSHALA

On @InterviewsXn recently @MarvelChampions creative director @xgabo told @JayAxe_ and @xnmfjx13 that the Native American he has on the mind the most lately is the DEMON RIDER: KUSHALA. She is a Ghost Rider who is also a Sorcerer Supreme and she has some AMAZING art. 

Here’s Jay Axe’s commentary from this part of their interview

Here’s the full interview (I will add a specific timestamp for the Kushala portion of the conversation later when I have a moment)

ANTI-VENOM is closely tied to Mister Negative, who is rumored for release next month. If Mr. Negative really is coming to @MarvelChampions, maybe [Marvel Contest of Champions creative director] Gabe Frizzera's recent Anti-Venom drawing was a hint. But when will we see Anti-Venom himself?

Rasputin IV

Occasionally a character will arrive and, before fading, inspire artists & fans. Rasputin was that character in 2019

Obscure or not, she might be worthy of @MCOCwishlist

Appendix A: Wishlist Editorial Reaction

She was originally slated to be in tourney 3 until SOMEONE encouraged inclusion of other champs with more history.

Appendix B: Kabam Reaction

I love that character's visual. She was in our short list for a while, but got taken out for reasons.

“In Feb, I posted the first #JimGrid (named by @elgaberino_MCOC). @xgabo said there were roughly 15 (#mcocJim15) characters in the works so now: 8 down, 7 more to go. Who could they be? But I wonder if more have been added to the roadmap... ”

“2 down, 106 to go!” - imaginejim

“About 15 of those are in our plans in one way or another for the next couple years.” - Gabe Frizzera, creative director for MCOC
