    I actually use SG and Psylocke quite a bit, they have their uses and are i would not consider them guilty pleasures....

    I voted QS, i have him covered at 5/5/3, and will use him randomly in goon nodes, just to explode his blue or make a match 5 for my tiny 2/4/2 PX to do his HUGE forehead dance for tiny damage since i need more covers.
  • He isn't a bad character by any means, but I will jam Cyclops into every team I can.

    He is just so freaking fun to play. His animations are incredible.

    I'll put him on a team with Captain America and Black Panther.

    I don't even care.

    I just want to use that black. I feel the power every time I use that ability.

    I'm starting to have a great appreciation for Loki during The Hulk event as a response to Bullseye and those darn protect tiles. I just patiently wait for him to get five protect tiles before taking them all! Bullseye can slow a match to a crawl, but not anymore. I also enjoy doing this to Daken, rendering his attack almost useless, but it gives me a guilty pleasure doing it to Bullseye.

    Is Moonstone now considered too good for a poll question like this or is Bagman the only allowable 2*?

    I like icon_psylocke.png. I think she's only a guilty please when she's the only one with an active blueflag.png power on my team.

    I would have voted for icon_squirrelgirl.png also if there were multiple options.

    GSBW is another that I like to use when I need a purpleflag.pnggreenflag.png user.

    Beast. Frankly, I really enjoy him.

    There are at least two of us!

    His Green (with a special blue out there) is never going to be Embiggened Bash or Call the Storm.....but it's just cheap enough to hurt enough....and if you're rolling with KK you get all those heals...throw in Beast's yellow and you can keep yourself from dying in fights where you have no right to be alive.

    Since only 3* characters are listed I want to give honorary mention to 1* Venom and 2* Bullseye.

    I love bringing these guys on the oft-chance that I'll see an opportunity to trigger their one-shot conditional blackflag.png powers.

    I voted for Squirrel Girl because she was listed. The more I play with her the more I like her. Her purple is good, and her yellow is surprisingly helpful.

    But my true guilty pleasure is Doc Ock. Something about his black I really like.

    Hawkeye 2*.

    Getting that speedshot off just feels so **** good.

    Doc Oc is great in TBE, especially those spammed purple 20 cd tiles, match them constantly and fill the board!

    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.

    She-Hulk is fantastic on defense.
    I'm liking the current Hood PvP because I can put her with Luke Cage and just tank away. No-one uses green except her, so the moment she gets 6 green, she's emptying 2 AP pools.

    I thought she was so disappointing when she first came out since I quite like the character and had been looking forward to her making it into the game. Once they announced the tweaks and I got to use her, I liked her a lot more and actually spent some time getting her to 166. Just need one more red cover.

    Before Blade Psylock was my go to in PVE with Patch and Daken. Now she just sits there because blade is so much better.
    Squirrel Girl is awesome and every time she is buffed for the week she is a staple in PVE and PVP. She is just too much fun to play.
    I will also say Gamora is really fun to play with IF when she is the main tank. Her strike tiles and low AP red and IF attack tile are awesome. Some times I add Groot to th mix for way too many strike tiles.

    Re: Gamora. It figures a loser like IM40 can really set off her black. And since im40 just fed her a heap of red ap, she can really deal substantial damage.

    My misfit group will be Gamora, Bullseye, and IM40. I'm stuns himself. Gamora uses her black. She whittles with her red then Bulseye finishes off. Strike tiles for EVERYONE!!

    Gamora/IF/1*Hawkeye are my Ultron dream team and now I can't see myself using anyone else. Otherwise, Vision/Gamora/IF were also fun in Balance of Power.

    That's probably because She-Hulk is top tier! icon_e_biggrin.gif
    Shhhh! Don't say that out loud! They might nerf her!

    I would almost say that Squirrel Girl doesn't even deserve to be on this list. Purple does decent damage even when you can't get much of the conditional damage. Green is like Hawkeye's Speed Shot except it gives you some free AP back and you can control when it goes off.

    I thought the point of this thread is "which characters do you like to play, but everyone else thinks are ****?" To see characters like Cyclops mentioned just does not compute. "Oh hey, I totally enjoy playing one of the top 10 characters in the game." You don't say.

    Aww, after I voted for Ragnarok properly like I intended, I'm still the only one to have picked him. Special snowflake powah!
