Retcons
Additionally, Retcon Devices have been converted to Ancient Forgotten Devices and stack up to 9999. You can exchange them at Clea for various different items, including a special pet, Reliquaries of Rarity, and Mysterious Crimson Boxes.

I'm surprised that the big 10 event was better than what they've got planned for anniversary.

I was hoping for cosmic event + omega event to cosmic prestige SW. Damnit.

Oh god I wonder what the exchange rate is, because I've got almost 300 retcons.

100 devices per crimson box, so I had enough for 2, got a hydes formula and a zolas.

Cable buff is legit as fuck though. Definitely enough to hold him over until his 52 review.

Free hero boxes from Gamespot...only 2,222 so hurry:

Marvel Heroes 2015 Hero Box Giveaway - GameSpot

Nice, got one.

Is there a subscription or RSS feed somewhere that lets you know when and where these things happen?

Not that I know of...I just happened to be in-game when someone announced it in chat. Other people were having trouble finding it on their site, but my Google-fu is stronger than theirs apparently.

silver surfer non dupe, wtf are the odds

I have to wait til I get home to see who I got. I have all the heroes currently so I'm hoping for a token for someone I want to play. SW would be perfect.

Moon Knight for me. Non-dupe, but not sure when I'll play him. Got a few others ahead of him right now.
As far as choosing my own next week...Iron Man and Rogue are the only 600 ES heroes I own, but I think Spider-man is the only other character I care for there and I hear he sucks. Wait...is Iceman 600? Maybe I'll grab him then. Otherwise I might just go for someone cheaper I want to try like Wolverine or Juggernaut.

Iceman is 400. Spiderman got decently buffed in this patch, not sure how much of a buff it was yet.

With the 25% pet damage bonus Iceman is pretty crazy now. Just sit back and let your melee ice golems do the work.

They only problem with that is you are still playing Iceman.

The voice acting is so horrid on that character I couldn't handle it after a few days and ditched him.

What did everyone get in their Birthday Cake? SUpposedly it drops atleast 1 unique for the hero you are using, and also 1 boss-only unique.

I opened it on my SW. got both of her unique gloves w/challenge bonuses on them, not any better than the set I was using. Also got a Sacred White Gorilla Spear, and then something else I forget - 4 uniques total. And a few other random goodies. Glad to get the spear, I think it's useful for a few characters.

I got the Kiss of the Viper unique, my 4th one. I have yet to get a 'Coat of the Skull' after several hundred runs and blue boxes.
