A couple of new character suggestions

New character suggestions, with sketchy ideas for a power or two. And yes, it's tongue-in-cheek.

4* Scarlet Witch

No more mutants
Removes all powers from mutant opposition, which mutants depends on number of covers. At 5 covers it depowers Magneto.

Resurrection
Perhaps at 1 cover limited to characters she resurrects in the comics, such as Hawkeye, but at 5 covers it can resurrect anyone that's down. Costs a lot of AP


5* Franklin Richards
Heroes Reborn
At 1 cover (and a lot of AP) sends anyone in the Heroes Reborn storyline "away", i.e. a one-shot kill in the game. At 5 covers sends everyone away, i.e. one-shot win

    If Scarlet Witch were to become a playable character in MPQ, I would expect it to look something like this;

    A purple ability with scaling, percentile based AP stealing, probably called "No More Mutants" (or perhaps "M-Day"?), and perhaps disabling Passives for /x/ turns. This ability would likely steal an additional color per cover, ala Aggressive Recon. Full covered I would peg it taking 100% of their AP, but would need to cost a fair bit of AP - something like 16-18 AP - since it is a game-changer/game-ender. This would mimic the classic "No More Mutants" Hex that removed practically all mutations from the world, but in the MPQ world, it would deny them AP, preventing them from using their powers.

    A blue ability, "Cauldron of Chthon", which is a passive, that would allow her to place Strike Tiles every time she makes a match when another teammate makes a match in the same "turn". This would mimic her ability to manipulate, lend, and create power through Hexes - and is a nifty throwback to the deity that gave her her powers, even though I can't remember if she ever uses said cauldron, said cauldron does exist.

    The last ability has me for a bit of a draw, but I want to say a red ability, "No More Phoenix", that would deal /x/ damage to /y/ enemies, /x/ being based on covers and level and /y/ being based on the amount of players alive on her team (aka, if it's just here it deals /x/ damage to one opponent, if it's her and one ally it would deal /x/ damage to two opponents, etc). This would represent the few times she combined her powers with other mutants to overcome obstacles - ala Hope Summers and the "No more Phoenix" hex.

    Or perhaps a general thing like "Hex Bolt", that would just be a nuke of some sort.
