Which character's ability can you never seem to stop?

There's plenty of nasty and not-so-nasty abilities in MPQ, and I'm sure each of us has one that we never seem to have much luck stopping. What's your personal gremlin?

For me, it's Inferno from either Johnny's two star or three star incarnation. I often have great luck stopping surgical strikes from X-Force, but I can't remember the last time I managed to stop an Inferno from hitting the board. I ate THREE infernos in a match I just played, and that was against his two star (buffed) variant, and me actively prioritizing black (Luckily, nearly back-to-back Infernos don't do much)!

    Honestly? I'm not sure if this answer fits the spirit of what you're asking, but goons & ninjas.

    I realize that neither are "characters" per se, but both give me major fits...

    For me it is Ares onslaught. Its like he always get it no matter how much ap I steal and he is guaranteed to get it or sunder off before he dies.

    I find Ares very rarely does just one move. He always seems to get enough for green and either his red or yellow move simultaniously. Ares always spams moves for me.

    Even without goons feeding her Moonstone ALWAYS gets her red off at least once every match

    Daken Blue

    Lucky enough Daken doesn't appear in PvE much!

    No one can stop the juggernaut, and his, what, 10k damage for only 2 red matches?

    I usually find that if there is a ** on the AI team, and their colors overlap with someone else, the ** powers are given priority until you get them out of the picture. On a team with both Ares and Juggs, I find that Ares hits with greenflag.png and Juggs with redflag.png .

    Heck, even in matches he is not in, i seem to eat an team up onslaught, hate ares, despise fighting him, in some lucky battles i get out rather unscathed, but almost always i eat an onslaught and a sunder (sometimes he will kill himself to sunder me).

    The one that bugs me the most is Cage blackflag.png , he always gets it off and happens to stun the one person who is about to use an ability to finish him off... grr

    Also MNMags he always get a good cascade to get polarity shift then activate his red and blue at the same time. So you get 2000+ and a new board with a guaranteed 5 match. Luke Cage always hit me with righteous uppercut and CMags always hit me with his whole power set usually fueled by Hoods blue

    Two or three Ares fights ago, the AI got not one, not two, but three consecutive match-5's on its opening move, fuelling both Ares green & yellow for turn two.

    I hate fighting Ares.

    Add icon_doctordoom.pngpurpleflag.png to the list, especially if he's got a goon feeding him. Ticking time bomb that I frequently fail to defuse.

    I've also noticed this of late. I don't know if something changed, but I've been getting conspicuous Ares chains recently.

    Yes its like he gets a sunder automatically right before he dies. And it is always out of nowhere

    Anything costing 6AP and under should be disqualified. Possibly 9AP too, but since two of mine are <=9, I'll allow them. For me, there're 3.

    1. Berzerker Rage. Green falls from the heavens if it has to. I always end up in shootouts with Patch.
    2. Unibeam. I basically ignore IM40 when he's around, so I get smacked more than I should because I forget to deny red.
    3. Nightstalker. Not as bad as the first two, except during weeks like this.

    Forgot the name right now, but its all about Ares yellow, i can't avoid it and sometimes i can't stop the tile from goign off and recovering health for him

    Chemical Reaction. No matter how much you deny blue, at some point he gets a blue 4-match in a column or row where there is another blue tile and that's 5. EVERY time.

    Blade greenflag.png . For some reason every time i fight against blade the board is always filled with red tiles spaced apart. And when I use him the red tiles never seem to fall for me

    And this problem applies even for my own guys, that tinykitty Deadpool blackflag.png . Every time I'm trying to sacrifice someone else he always chooses to jump out to kill himself when he himself is almost dying. Stop being such a **** hero
