The problem with a game as complicated as this is many characters that would be balanced individually become unbalanced when teamed up with certain teammates. Only time will tell how balanced he is. I really don't have a problem with him since his best synergy requires two other guys, so he can only be abused in PvE or shield.

Considering that the first event ends in just over 24hrs, and that piece was published 5 days ago .... who at Demiurge is getting on the "more info" being "on our D3 forums in the coming days"?

Professor X is ALWAYS going to be one of the guys with best synergy with a tile creator. Throw in Cyclops too. You get yellow converting to red and blue converting to red, you get red from Prof X Master Plan, its just so much red you will destroy PvE no matter what once you get enough AP to use Cyclops yelllow and HB blue on same turn.
Phantron wrote: There's no ability that IMHB has that would create an unreasonable number of match 5s. Only one of his ability can even create a match 5 and at 9 blue AP that doesn't exactly have 'degenerate' written on it. Likewise Cyclops can't exactly pump out match 5s like they're out of style with an 8 AP cost. After all, all their color conversion abilities are still quite inferior compared to Iron Fist who seems to have a permanent alliance with Professor X. Now, if you want to pump a lot of red AP so you can do Repulsor Punch over and over again, that's perfectly fine, but it's only 650 damage/AP. Fireball is pretty close to 600 damage/AP and creates a minor cascade. Star Spangled Avenger is in theory around 4000 damage/AP, but let's say you're possessed by the AI and always throw your red straight into another match 3, then it's still about 500 damage/AP (4000 damage for 8 AP because throwing into a red match 3 gets you 3 AP back). A Ballet of Death that lasted 4 turns is 624 damage/AP. While there is value in being able to deliver a lot of damage at once, there is also a drawback in that you can't finetune the damage. For example if you picked up 15 red AP in a single big cascade, you can only dump it into a single ~10K hit, and say your opponent is The Hood + ??? + ???, you wasted a lot of AP overkilling The Hood's meager 5000 HP but if you don't hit him first, that might come back to haunt you later. In this particular scenario you're only getting 333 damage/AP on The Hood.

I'll stop believing that when something, anything related to the characters in the FF film license gets licensed in any way shape or form in North America again. I'm pretty sure it's because Silver Surfer was already immortalized in video games, and any further attempt at his inclusion will only remind it's players that they are not playing THAT game. I'm not sure whether to upvote you for the sentiment or downvote you for reminding me that I paid money for that game.
