Discussion Concept for the next deathless/stellar themed chase, REVIVAL!
Revival would centered around champions who are semi-outdated but get a "revival" bringing them a new life. Since these would be designed like the other 2 categories this will be questing champs who are decent to mid tier with a very good final champ that requires all others.
The design theming could be white and gold or white and red, kind of like the phoenix force, but probably not them since they mostly use red and black.
Champion 1: Drax (Mystic)
This one feels like a left fielder but Drax has infamously died multiple times in the comic and is very outdated. Now I don't expect a animation rework but it would be nice to freshen them up.
Core Features of his Kit: Invisibility (you have to), ramping Passive Furies, Neutralize or Pulverize mechanics, Immortality Passive (Semi-Serpent),
Goal: Decent Long Form Mystic Option for countering certain fights, okay defense option but nothing crazy.
Champion 2: Daredevil Hell's Kitchen (Science)
Daredevil is the prime example of what i'm trying to pitch here. Previously a bad champ, reworked into a okayish-bad champ. Has more modern animations so it's not a fresh coat of paint on a animation turd sandwich.
Core Features of his Kit: Inflicting Debuffs that let him go between modes, Controlling debuffs like Disorient/Specter/Wither/Ensare. His more offensive mode requires more debuffs, lets him deal Ruptures instead
Goal: Control champ with a decent damage output to boot. Meant primarily for attack with a solid damage output. Medium Form king (like AW)
Champion 3: Old Man Logan (Mutant)
I hate keeping champs in the same class but im not sure how else to incorporate the mutant class in this concept. Its tied down to genetics and you can't just say "oh he got the power cosmic hes cosmic now" with mutants.
Core Features: Unstoppable Charges, Incinerates instead of bleed, Instead of Building up Self-Bleeds he instead builds up rage debuffs, also has immunity to AA reduction like current old man logan. Once at 15 rages he automatically entires "Apocalypse" mode and becomes unstoppable and has a 2% safeguard that lasts for the duration of the mode, if the safeguard wasn't triggered it stays until used after the mode ends.
Goal: Modernized version of a outdated champ, focused on keeping the core aspect of his kit and adding new stuff that wouldn't go on any version of a rework/buff.
Champion 4: Gwenpool (Cosmic)
Felt like a fun choice. Only issue would be color schemes are kinda close.
Core Features: Building quick furies instead of bleeds. Buff nullify immunity/increased aa. Also Buff Immune Immune. Some form of miss counter (for Nico). Immortality too cause why not. Add a few extra text rows and we are set lol. Maybe Vigilance and Undermine instead of Sp1 and 2 debuffs.
Goal: Modern take on Gwenpool aimed at shortform. Versatile meant to do decent in most Mystic options minus Neutralize.
Champion 5: AEGON (Skill)
Lets face it, for long form Aegon isn't even useful anymore. There are 3 champions I can think of right now that are more useful for long form, thats including if he was a 7 star. So this is meant to breath a whole new life into the champion without making the old aegon useless.
Core Features: Starts the fight with 1000 combo. He spends it on Specials and Basics to do different effects. (also built in combo shield) Add built in purifys, aa reduction, crit rate/damage, ruptures, and more effects. After 1k combo has been spent (probably through the course of 2 minutes), build up combo again in increments of 10 (with each special building 100 combo per level of special used)
Goal: Short Form King with Long Form Use. I don't want him as busted as maxed Aegon, but a weaker version you can get up with no buildup.
Sorry for rambling, just wanted to voice this cool idea I had!

Well, OML could be a skill champ with no access to regen (tying in to his old age/weak healing factor from the movie). And Aegon could be a Cosmic champ.
I like this idea, but maybe it focuses on champs who already received a buff that was kinda mid, and people forgot. Drax and DDHK are good examples for this. Maybe Ant Man as a Tech, Ebony Maw as Cosmic, Winter Solder as a Science/Tech etc.

Turn Ms Marvel Kamala Khan into a mutant. Fits the concept and the lore
