Valentine’s Day Special: Wedding Wishes for Mr. & Mrs. X
This week, love conquers all! Rogue and Gambit’s wedding returns in style, with Times Square hosting their romantic carriage parade and the store featuring their wedding costumes.
1. Times Square: Love On Parade
Relive Rogue and Gambit’s magical first date: Central Park, moonlight, and a horse-drawn carriage (as seen in X-Men (1991) #24). The evening breeze blew gently as the two shared a smile, chatting pleasantly all the way. After that, they naturally became a couple. After escaping the Coliseum of the Elders and returning to Krakoa to renew their wedding vows, they reminisced about those sweet memories. They’ve decided to don their wedding attire and take a leisurely carriage ride through Times Square, reliving the romance of their past.
After the update, jump aboard a carriage in the procession and celebrate the beginning of this beautiful love story together! Receive 100 Units the first time you join! (Note: Heroes with active Pym Particles can’t participate.)

Fixes and Optimizations
All Platforms
1. Spectator Camera Sorcery: Custom camera controls were under a spell and wouldn’t work in spectator mode. Doctor Strange waved his hand and fixed it. Now you can watch the action from every angle, mystic or otherwise!
2. Cloak & Dagger’s Keybinding Tango: Some of their keybinds were entangled like the Chronoverse. Now, the keys are coordinated, and the duo’s moves are as synchronized as their powers.
Heroes
1. Deadpool’s Dangerous Dash – Maximum Effort, Minimum Glitches: Wade’s Hazardous Hijinks/Healing Hijinks could have issues when being controlled during the dash. Now, Deadpool’s juggling act is as smooth as his witty banter. No more slip-ups, just pure Merc magic.
2. Daredevil’s Portal Parkour: Matt Murdock occasionally went off-script, teleporting to odd locations when using portals. We’ve fixed the radar sense; now Daredevil’s portal plays are as precise as his courtroom arguments.
3. Black Widow’s Red Room Rifle Reboot: Natasha’s Ultimate Ability had a bad habit of unexpectedly applying extra Vulnerability to some hero shields. We called in the Black Widow Program for a reboot; now her stings strictly inflict the correct amount of Vulnerability.
4. Scarlet Witch’s Spider-Tracking Chaos Magic: Wanda’s Mystic Projection unintentionally attracted Peni Parker’s Spider-Drones like a magical moth to a radioactive flame. We’ve rewritten reality; now her Phased state is Peni-proof. No more spider surprises!
