                Good to see a 2* that has an heal ability, assuming it scales decently with level, she looks like she can see use over 1* Widow if you already have a stunner on your team like C.Storm

                Seems like it's more cost effective than Iron Man as an AP-pump. Glad to see she's not super OP right off the bat!

                That purple is amazing. I wonder what her health is like?

                I hope Espionage is more like a 'leech' ability. Something for the people without The Hood.

                Lol someone's obviously a MASSIVE Widow fan in the dev team! There's over 5000 characters in the Marvel Universe and we already have 2 of her!! We should have a Black Widow day where we use all 3 in a team then whoever the fan is can get their fix and we can move onto someone else! icon_lol.gif

                Given one ability already steals AP I sincerely doubt they will get a second on the same character.

                Unfortunately you can only have one of any character on a team, even if they are 'different'

                At L6 she has 350 hp and tile strengths of 3 R/G/Y, 5 Blue/blk, 6 P

                I didn't check the blue power before adding the 2nd card, but a L2 blue at L6 heals 108 to all.

                She suffers from the same problem as many other characters. Her purple skill is most useful at level 1, and to get her to max level you're forced to upgrade it to at least level 3. She probably won't be in my A-team, for the same reason Iron Man 40 sat out. Increasing skill level is not always best, and that is an issue that needs to be resolved.

                It's net cost is only 2 higher at level 5... 5 vs 11 (-4). It'll take longer to do the first but any after will be barely longer.

                So, my comic knowledge is weak. Since her cover is from "X-Men First Class", does that mean this Widow is affected by both the X-Men and Mutant damage boosts?

                I was going to say that 5 lets you get it off immediately with boosts... But yeah that would be silly

                She shouldn't be, since she's neither an X-Man or a Mutant. She's on the cover of that particular issue because she teams up with Scarlet Witch or something (X-Men First Class featured stories that took place in that early era of Marvel, which is why she & Jean Grey are dressed in their original costumes).

                But you're right, it would be nice if the game displayed characters' affiliations somewhere, so we know which Boosts affect them. Obviously those of us who are familiar with the characters know what teams they're on, but not everyone knows this stuff, and it's still not all that clear even if you do. Is Original Black Widow considered an Avenger, even though she wasn't a member when she wore that costume? Also, I assume that Yelena Belova is affected by the anti-Dark Avengers boost because of the in-game Prologue campaign, but she technically wasn't in the comics Dark Avengers.

                Does her heal power scale with level? I've raised mine from 6 to 8 and it's still 100 points. I can't raise her any higher without digging into HP.
