What are the scariest 4* defensive teams?

Skrofa

Not really scary but people might tend to avoid it.
Medusa, Carnage and mr f.
I fought and defeated this team once but I swore to myself that I would never do that again!
Carnage spams special tiles, medusa can spam special tiles.
Mr f heals the team when a friendly tile gets matched. Medusa heals the team when a friendly tile gets matched.
Medusa produces AP when enemy tiles gets matched.

It's just... so... ANNOYING!

I think the other thread already stated this already but...

Medusa, Carnage, and either Peggy or 4* Captain Marvel are hard to deal with.  I can't even overpower them with a 375 Thanos sometimes.

Generally if Medusa' countdown gets matched early, she puts down enough of the powerful attack tiles that it's hard to recover from.

Exactly!  I also recently played against this team and it is really annoying.  Mr. Fantastic appears super lame, until he heals everyone or stuns you.  I tried fighting fire with fire and used my Medusa, Carnage, Hawkguy team thinking I would have an advantage.  Well, the match took forever, and during 1 unlucky cascade, Mr Fantastic healed everyone 50% of their max health.  My last several turns of progress were erased.  I eventually won, but vowed not to do that again.

Since the PVP meta has changed a lot in the past 7 months, here's my 2 cents:

Shield Simulator:
Carnage, Medusa, Mr. Fantastic - it's scary because of the auto-damage and long battles.
Carnage, Medusa, Carol - probably just as bad as the above team
Carnage, Medusa, 4*Rocket - this will kill you or use lots of health packs, stay away
Star Lord, Medusa, 4*Rocket - this may not kill you, but it will definitely require health packs
Peggy, Carol, Medusa - simply annoying passives to deal with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peggy is still really good, but all she does is slow things down, so not as scary as before
Medusa has significant auto-damage, so I try to avoid her
Carnage without Medusa is not too scary
Carol is similar to Peggy, not terribly dangerous, but slows you down.
4*Rocket is not seen yet, but when he does, watch out!
Wasp has good cheap powers, but she's not as bad as the above
Powerman is just annoying, not too dangerous
Star Lord isn't too dangerous, unless you ignore him
Prof X isn't too dangerous, unless you ignore him
Rhulk is not as bad as the top 5 above
Iceman's blue power is my only concern
Jean can be dealt with just like Carol
Nova has cheap powers, but there's lots of ways to deal with strike tiles
Punisher is not a concern
Blade is useless when you just match red tiles away
Thing is not dangerous, just don't ignore him

I would agree peggy, carol, medusa is the best defense right now in 4 star land.  Peggy is a giant stall that can hurt you badly if she get red.  Carol slows you down and can hurt you with black if she pops an easy yellow on it.  Medusa will hurt you, it is almost impossible to avoid.  Just mitigate.

With two stall characters that have the potential to hurt you, and one that will keep hurting you over time.  The cost in a health pack or more is the best defense you can get.  Plus they have a decent rainbow of colors.
