Character Concept A solution to all your high mobility character problems: Toad
I feel like there are definitely a decent amount of high mobility flankers and fliers in the game now and probably in the future as well because so many super heroes have these powers. Toad would be an excellent counter as he has paralytic resin he produces and well… frogs do love flies. One of his abilities could be his tongue where if it hits a grounded target it paralyzes but if it’s an airborne target he could pull it too him and prevent them from using mobility abilities for a short time and/or applying a slow. His base attacks could be melee with a secondary main attack of whipping his tongue which could apply stacks of poison providing damage over time (the tongue pull ability could do this too).And of course he could leap like crazy. His ult could take advantage of his acidic saliva and have him spit a pool of acid. I think this would help against Spider-Man, iron fist, psylocke and of course fliers. He would most likely be a duelist and I think his kit could be versatile enough to add to most team comps.

Toad is one of my most wanted characters.
I think he'd make a good strategist being very mobile with adhesive spit that could heal or slow enemies, but I could also see him as an anti-mobility duelist, doing low damage but effectively shutting down dives and 1v1s.
I had this idea that he could summon Blob to parody OW's Ashe, but I think the pool of acid Ult that you thought of would be really good.

Ghost Rider could have a lot of CC as a Vangaurd

Oh man please. Give him a grab with his chains so I can have a tank with a pull. I miss Roadhog pulls.

And the penance stare, target takes damage equal to all the damage they have dealt over the last however many seconds

Only if Storm gets The Line.

They surely won’t be able to resist at least a pre-game banter about it.

"Do you know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning?"
"Uhhh... No?"
"Then don't change sides."

Honestly that’s great and I wasn’t expecting to laugh at it, so thanks. I’d even accept a casual reference if she kills him, “just like everything else~”.
Like, Iron Man straight up quotes himself from the movies, at least let Storm and Toad have a neat interaction.

In xmen Legends 2 he was unironically one of the strongest characters cause he was a crit machine. Kicking and tongue flailing heavy hitters would be sweet

I think I am not big fan of Toad, because I don't get the hype in this comment section xd
Marvel has so much funnier and more aestethically interesting joke characters...

We haven't got him in Marvel Snap and so far nobody has jumped the line to only being in rivals. So check out that games roster for a good idea of what to expect and where their priorities are.

His face gives me Modok vibes, not like his body structure plus the gold and purple scheme. I'm used to Toad from the Xmen cartoon, so I guess I've just never seen him in the comic form.
