    Hell, as long as I'm on offense, I'd much rather have a level 40 0/5/0 Hood than a capped 5/0/5 Hood.
    That's better for defense too! a 5/0/5 hood is like a big "Attack me" sign

    I'd like to propose another that isn't on this list:
    Hulk's anger.
    Without the damage, that ability is completely garbage.
    If you have a hulk with less than 5 in anger, you're wasting your time playing him. He offers no threat at all.

    What? The damage is a nice bonus (especially if you drop strike tiles), but it only really becomes silly against one character. In every other matchup, the main issue isn't the paltry 200 AOE, it's dropping 5 (or 10, or 15, or 20, or 25, or...) green tiles on the board. Don't get me wrong, that 5th cover is awesome, but it's still solid at 4 and playable at 3.
  • Not sure why Hulk black, Patch yellow are not on the list.

    Nor can I tell why Hood yellow isn't (level 5 doesn't end turn). With that and 4ors super tiles, it'll be a great skill

    POLL: Powers where L5 is overly mandatory
    For which character powers is the L4 to L5 jump too much?

    Your poll is really two separate questions. There are powers, like Sniper Rifle, that need the 5th cover to make it worthwhile. Then there are powers that are solid and playable at 4, but still get a huge boost at 5, like lightning storm and peacemaker. Much better at 5, but still solid powers if not at level 5.
  • Some of the characters in the poll are already top tier, I wouldn't mind them not getting any kind of buffs for a while.
