The 8/29 Patch Notes, In-Universe Style

Thought I'd compose a little something for those of you who miss this in the update notes, like me. Here goes!
Agents' personal computers are constantly being tweaked and improved to aid the Agent as much as possible out in the field.
S.H.I.E.L.D. analysts have determined the warning signs when Captain Marvel is absorbing energy to power up an attack, and have modified the combat overlay to relay this information to the Agent.
Heroes are becoming more resistant to Daken's harmful pheromones after repeated exposure, and no longer suffer the effects as severely. Additionally, Daken has become more dependent upon Heat, and the results are noticeable on the battlefield.
Hawkeye has been training relentlessly to keep up in this new ISO-8-powered world, and the fruits of his efforts are finally showing. He has greatly improved his marksmanship, and is also experimenting with new techniques and gadgets. He's remodeled his electric arrow to disorient and confuse the enemy. He's made his explosive arrow faster to fire, at the cost of direct explosive power. And Hawkeye has spent a lot of time learning about and experimenting with ISO-8, which has bolstered his confidence against his super-opponents. He is no longer inclined to hang back during battle, and instead takes advantage of devastating blows dealt by his team, quickly firing arrows to keep the pressure on the enemy.
Magneto is working with S.H.I.E.L.D., at least for now. The PR guys have asked Magneto to scale it back a little- heroes aren't all for wanton destruction and violence, unlike villains! Magneto reluctantly complies, but he tries to find ways to cause as much chaos as possible. He's a team player now (or at least he's supposed to be), so he's extended his magnetic shield to cover more of the battlefield, at the expense of some control over the ability. Magneto relishes watching his enemies flee, so he's directed some effort towards attacks intended to cause panic. And rather than transplanting massive chunks of land in his attacks, he uses smaller segments for a more controlled offense.
(If and when Magneto leaves the good guys): His time spent with the heroes has convinced Magneto that some of their tactics are sound, and he decides to keep using his powers this way.
Wolverine has spent a long time attempting to balance the multiple positions he holds, and he finally has the strategy for his role in X-Force nailed down. He has realized that strategically setting up for victory in a prolonged battle is fine, but sometimes you need to strike hard and fast. He spends less time dancing around his enemy and assisting his team, and more time tearing straight into battle- destroying anything in his path. He has combined the two tactics and devised a way to effectively set up the battlefield to hinder his enemies, but still retain the raw power that gets the results. Exposure to ISO-8 seems to have drastically increased the effectiveness and speed of Wolverine's regenerative abilities, and he is no longer defenseless during his periods of recovery- he can strike back! Agents can be sure that Wolverine will be a far more formidable ally!
Best of luck to Agents on their missions!
Well, I tried my best. I hope it gave some of you an entertaining read!
