Most Character-accurate skill

One aspect that I enjoy in this game is when the skill set accurately reflects the character. Rather than the usual straight out damage dealing moves, which signature move stands out as most representative of the character's personality or power? For me, the most accurate skill is Mystique's Shapeshift. In her first PVP, it took me by surprise when I see someone else in the AI roster, only to later realise it was shapeshifted Mystique, which I thought was very apt.

edit: included Fastball special, Symbiote Scythes, Raging Tempest, and replaced Dormammu's Aid with Inferno

    I think that Carnage powers reflect very well the comic book character's psychopathic & chaotic nature.

    redflag.png Damages everyone but himself (psychopathic)
    greenflag.png Has a randomized effect that has the potential to be brutal (chaotic)

    I think that overall the powers all combined together (including the alien aspect of blackflag.png) give a good representation of the character as a whole. The only thing missing that I would've included instead of the blackflag.png would be some type of regeneration which is a big part of the character in the comics.

    I voted Anger and Immovable Object. Colossus' power definitely embodies Piotr's selfless and protective nature among the X-Men, and the way he jumps in front to take damage for his allies is a great representation. Anger kinda speaks for itself, although I think it ought to feed red instead of green. Cuz you know, Hulk smash.

    I voted Anger and Trickery. Trickery, because it's so archetypically Loki for him to turn to a perceived advantage to overwhelming disadvantage via some convoluted plot. Anger, because we've all messed up before, and seen a board turn totally green, and go "Oh ****" while an angry Hulk smashes your team into itty bitty bits.

    Classic Storm's Raging Tempest.

    Much like Colossus's Immovable Object, this moves shows the true heart of Ororo. She's dedicated her entire life to Xavier's dream, which encompasses her team, her family, her school, and humanity in general. She would willingly (and has) sacrifice(d) herself for any loving spirit of any universe. She'd hurt you as she goes down, but down she'll gladly go.

    BUT..........IF YOU LAY A FINGER ON ONE OF HER LOVED ONES AND ESPECIALLY ON ONE OF HER STUDENTS..........well, let's just say that she'll wreck you and everyone that you know.

    hulks anger needs to regenerate health( or add health, total health beyond max with added health added to current) and make strike tiles to be accurate

    I think Pheromone Rage from Daken, Call the Storm from Thor, All Tied Up from Spider-Man, these are all pretty representative of their comic counterparts.

    Oh, and Whales. So much on Whales being Deadpool...

    I don't see it in your poll, but off the top of my head Colossus' Fastball Special seems to me to be the most accurate skill - it's like his signature move. He was always chucking Wolverine at someone or something in the comics.

    I think that the new 3* Bullseye is very accurate of his personality and skill set. On both of his active powers you get to choose exactly which tiles are effected representing his targeting skills and his passive black rewards him for taking down targets which represents his psychopathic mercenary personality.

    Also not on the poll, Carnage.. abilities with no regard to who gets hurt or to those around him are dead accurate for his personality.

    Human Torch - Inferno. Sets the battlefield on fire irresponsibly, messing up his teammates.

    I may be wrong, but I believe Carnage does have increased regeneration. His health seems to really tick back quickly, I half joked because he enjoys killing my own roster -so- much.

    The problem with Fastball Special is that he would NEVER throw anyone other than Logan at an enemy, since he doesn't really need to worry about being harmed. He's thrown Kitty a few times and maybe Rogue once, but they ALL fall under that same umbrella. And that's it (IIRC).

    He'd never in a million years throw Ororo or Kurt, who he considers his siblings. OMG, and NEVER Charles!!!!! lmao

    He's never thrown Cap or Squirrel Girl or Doom or Hulkbuster any of the other characters in the game. And he probably WOULD no. So................no, that's not really the most accurate move in the game, unless the third teammate dies and it's only he and Wolverine alive.
