The MCOC Wishlist is at capacity, and there are lots of characters waiting to be added next time a spot opens up.
First it was Coulson and Nat and Nick Fury recruiting Avengers. But in phase 4, it's Val showing up to recruit the misfits for some purpose. What's she got up her sleeve? In the comics, she's a long, strong character from S.H.I.E.L.D.-related spy stories. Who's she working for? She'd make a great choice for MCOC's Skill class. High priority for our Wishlist, certainly.
Art is actually fan art by Andrew Runion; actor is Julia Louis-Dreyfus as she appeared in The Falcon & The Winter Soldier season 1 (2021).
The Fantastic Four: Beginning to Beyond by Andrew Runion
This is my attempt at the real-time continuity Marvel should have been, where time passes and people age. If the Fantastic Four got their powers in 1961, they’d be together as a team for 10 to 15 years before members began to hang it up and be replaced. ~ Andrew Runion
Hallie Takahama, the Thunderbolts' Japanese-American moral sparkplug, got lukewarm #TournamentOfBattlerealmFuture support, and will wait to join the MCOC Wishlist.
