Who is it, that you squeeze into a group knowing they're not ideal or just along for fun?

For me, I rope along Bullseye (with Thor and Black Panther) on the final node of DDQ. He isn't great. But he is awfully fun.

    Spidey - that 5 blue stun works wonders when things look bleak.

    Psylocke. She was the first 3* I ever maxed, and I like to bring her along here and there. I love having her boosted in the Hulk event right now.

    Cruel! The poll asks for characters, but only lets us select one option. icon_e_smile.gif I would have voted Psylocke and Spider-Man, but I went with Spider-Man. I haven't used him much recently, but prior to Luke Cage (and after Spider-Man's stun nerf) he was my go-to guy for climbing in PvP due to those protect tiles and surprisingly helpful stun. Psylocke is pretty useful when buffed (tragically, she feels *just right* when buffed, and if her buffed status was her base 166 performance she would likely be more popular. Adjust her blue to let you target a basic tile and steal AP of that color when it resolves, and voila! She's a contender.)

    Not on this list but one of my guilty pleasures now is She-Hulk, especially against teams with goons and characters. Her green ability just completely stops them from being able to pull off any powers. Her red isn't that bad either for a board shake-up, and everyone now and then I'll gladly steal a tile or two from the enemy.

    Try the Guilty Pleasure triple team of Bullseye, Doc Ock, Colossus.
    Put Bullseye in mid, so that he tanks purple, black, green and tu. Matching enemy specials, including countdowns, generates friendly attack tiles, which bullseye can break with his purple. Let Bullseye/Colossus use AP; throw Doc Ock and hope his green fires for free.

    Doc Ock can be very fun. When deployed against characters that rely on special tiles he is quite strong. In the Storm pvp, his blue was worth 6k+ consistently for me, plus the black attack tiles. He's terrible against basically everybody else but he smashes Blade, Daken, Storm, goons...

    2* Bullseye (with 2* Daken and 2* Torch).

    I voted for Vision by accident. I use Ragnarok way more often than any of the others; Hulk/Rags/GSBW, Rags/Kamala/Hood = awesome for PvE, LRs.

    That's probably because She-Hulk is top tier! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    As a newer player with a scrappy roster of 2* characters I must say that BWO (boosted of course) and Ares have worked wonders for me. I have 2 BWO maxed out on my roster because I use her so much.

    Try Bullseye in the final node with Blade. See if you still think he isn't great icon_e_wink.gif

    I like Psylocke. She's fast and fun to use, but my real guilty pleasure is Daredevil. Something about both Ambush and Billy Club just tickles me in the right way. I really find him to be a hoot to play on a team.

    Doc Oc Colossus Professor X is a decent team, especially against Daken Bullseye.

    I use Psylocke and Vision a lot (not in an ironic way), even leave Vision up on my d team in shield sim sometimes. Speed is sometimes really important.

    QS and Rag get playtime but they are admittedly bad and used to save the health of better characters. On a hard node clear they either end up dead or below 50% life after a single clear

    Whenever Balance of Power comes around, I play at least one game with Bag-Man.

    Bag-Man, like most exotic pleasures, is not a character for everyday use. He is to be saved for special occasions, and then savored.

    Got to be the Squirrel, her attacks are hilarious, and can actually be quite dangerous! Nuts From Above!

    So I was unsure about a couple of characters:

    Beast. Frankly, I really enjoy him.

    She-Hulk.

    Doc Ock. Forgot about him, tbh. I despise his green.

    Regarding Devil Dino. He still has 20k HP. I don't rate him *that* bad, especially when his purple can net rampant team heals when paired with Kamala.


    About Bullseye. I think wave fights are where he really excels.
