    Have Iron Fist go talk to him, they're besties.

    I really really don't think there's much chance Hulkbuster won't be fighting a level 270 Hulk.

    The first two opponents were L270 3* characters, though. Judging from the rest of DDQ, I'm not sure they'll break that pattern (although if they do, Iceman is definitely the character to put up against HB). A 4* character being a hard counter for another 4* in the meta also doesn't mean they'll be pit against each other in DDQ, though. Having Jean as an opponent for Prof X would be downright unfair.

    Hulk is actually a pretty interesting opponent for HB, though. You can't go nuts with Overdrive and 9 AP Repulsor Punches, because then every hit will trigger anger and yu'll soon be heading towards a green cascady death. You'll basically have to save red and black AP for a one turn kill while trying to keep Hulk from killing you in the meantime. That's very feasible with a L200+ version of HB, but anything below that will have a tough time for sure, just like with the Fury node.
    IceIX did say they have plans for two-stars and four-stars in the fourstar DDQ too eventually.

    To be honest, I think a L270 Iceman would actually be pretty manageable with HB. You need to deny purple and blue, with blue taking top priority. The upside of that is that blue is actually useful to HB as well, since you both feed your own power with it and take away green for Iceman to use. Barring an unlucky board, this should be a very winnable fight.

    So far the pattern has been that the opponent shares 2 colors with the 4*.. to make it harder to gain/deny AP, and forcing you to make matches that do not help you. Hulk fits with Black and Red against HB.

    Great a 270 Ares That will kill you with 6 green AP. That will be fun

    Alternately, it means you can deny enemy AP without making only matches that don't help you. Especially with HB, since he doesn't need to match green to deny green.

    Simulator
    Thick As Thieves
    Iso-8 Brotherhood
    Anniversary PVE

    so guessing all 3/4 day events

    sim sept 24 to 28
    thick sept 28 to oct 1
    iso oct 1 to oct 5



    is this the first time a PVP and PVE will end same time?

    I"m assuming the Anniversary PvE is the new galaxy one, which starts Oct 8th. So one of those PvE's is probably 7 days (which I believe is iso 8 brotherhood)

    In answer to your question, they all appear to be the same length to me.
