Expansion 3: Shattered Timelines Theories, Speculation, Facts as revealed

From the Cover

1) We see Omnitron hovering over a man sized robot with his nemesis symbol on his chest.

2) We see a current and future version of legacy

3) We see visionary and a girl who may well be an alternate her.

 

Guesses:

Heroes:

Man Robot  (yet to be named) pictured on the cover and will be Omnitron's nemesis.

Chronoranger sure seems like this would make a great place for him to appear as Hero #2 despite his lack of cover time.

Villains:

An evil Legacy from the future?

An evil Visionary split from her personality?

Whatever villian Alex made and won the contest with which he has yet to reveal anything about

?

 

Kickstarter thread is here, for reference.  I had started a thread for this, but yours has better information for debate.

My thoughts is that I really hope that Legacy is evil... I was one of the guys who submitted an "evil heroes" deck for the villain contest so while I did not win, I still want some evil heroes bad.

Beyond that, I'm thrilled and hopefully the stretch rewards will provide us with a few alternate versions of heroes from other timelines.

The thing that's really getting me juiced up is the $40k level reward.  SIX promo hero cards.  Gotta be the Freedom Six from the future, yeah?  So great.

 

That would be very cool.  And could explain the other single promo as Visionary since they've stated she has never been part of the Freedom any number at all. So $30k Visionary, $40k Freedom Six? That would rock!

It would also potentially cover Tachyon, Bunker, and Absolute Zero as we've no indication yet they are NOT still part of the Freedom initiative in the future, though it looks like Legacy is out.  If Unity goes from intern to full fledged member that could be 4 of 6.  Who else I wonder?

 

Haka and Tempest could be the last two members of the Freedom Six along with Tac, Bunker, AZ and Unity.  That would cover everyone from the origianl expansion with a promo. 

 

As for the villains, we're still missing nemesis for Bunker and Absolute Zero.  It seems like the two heros cover the un-nemesis'ed villains, so my assumption would be that the villains would cover the unused heroes.  So Bunker, Zero, Visionary and Unity. 

 

I agree that Haka and Tempest would finish off promos for the core came characters…but they are now part of the Prime Wardens team (as of Infernal Relics).  Though in comics that doesn't mean anything in particular I suppose.  How many teams has Wolverine been in?

 

Not including alternate realities: 632.

What appears to be Chrono-Ranger is depicted on the Flash ad on boardgamegeek.

Saw the add for the kickstarter on BGG. Looks like a mad legacy on one side and I'm pretty sure its Chrono Ranger on the right...so I'm feeling Robot Man and Chrono Ranger for sure as our heroes...both of which should match our previous villains with no nemesis.  So that means 4 villains with no in expansion nemesis if thats the case. (Sans multi villain nemesis which thus far has only appeared via environment with Ra - Anubis - Ennead)

Sometimes, I think Marvel should just rename itself to "Spider-Man and Woverine & Friends."  I stopped reading six years ago, and those guys were everywhere.

It's funny, since I think the Avengers movie cycle beats the Spider-Man and X-Men trilogies by far.  But then, I haven't seen The Amazing Spider-Man, and I felt X-Men First Class was a great reboot to the franchise.

Funded at 4.5 hours in.

Alright, huge success. I'm so happy we've done this. Now, in 24 hours, how high can we go?

It never even occurred to me that the six promo cards would be the Freedom Six themselves. That totally slipped my mind. So would that mean future Legacy is one of them, or does he leave the team and become a rouge? What about the Prime Wardens? Do they fit into this future at all?

I just can't wait to see more of Visionary's story arc. I knew she'd have to be the main character of this expansion.

What about the Triceratops on the right side? and the masked person on the side of the box? Do they get no love?

I know what the Triceratops is for.

Obviously the Triceratops is Chronoranger's steed.

 

Because who wouldn't want to ride dinosaurs dressed as a cowboy?

 

The answer is no one.

It's Bunker's Nemesis, isn't it?

 

Obviously it's Chrono-Ranger.  He's a Time Travelling Cowboy Bounty Hunter with the ability to Transform into Dinosaurs.

I'll just say that it seems rather random.  Well, about as random as a typhoon preventing shipments of boxes from China, causing extreme publishing delays.

I think a typhoon should have also been depicted on the box art.
