I have most of the ones you mentioned champed and have played with them all. So here's who I'd champ and in order: 1) Red Hulk - finish him pronto. He's an absolute beast and I think he's the best 4* period. 2) Quake - not really a PvP character, but she's a PvE queen. Her blue is surprisingly good board control too. 3) Punisher - finally got to play with him a while back when he was boosted and I was impressed. His green is great and his boost to strikes is very good as well. 4) Thoress - I don't think she gets enough love on the forum. Her blue into red is amazing and all of the charged tiles keep on powering her. Combined with IM40, she can punch way above her weight class and when boosted is an absolute terror. 5) Nova - has cheap, good attacks that pairs pretty well with PunMax. 6) Moon Knight? - I don't have him champed, but he's probably a better option than what's left. So not hugely different from your own list, but tweaked slightly. Champing a villain just for Nefarious Foes isn't a great idea, especially since it's just an offseason event anyway. Once you get all of this done (ha!) then worry about who's next.

When boosted his cheap black can be very painful, and even unboosted deals pretty decent damage. The last time he was boosted I went with Switch and IF together with Kingpin and he was basically destroying everyone. Switch either feeding IF purple to feed KP black, or directly providing the CD tile for him to poke. If you've played the Dr Strange PVE you should know how painful that gets eventually.

I've been using her at 5/3/5; her yellow is great for tanking, and 3 blue with 5 green gives you optimum board control since you know which force bubbles you'll be bursting. Green also does a heckuva damage, and has better utility than, say, Thing's green, since you can choose where to place your bubbles (for blue). Albeit you have to amass 7 blue AP along with 12 green AP. Maybe that's why people don't like her, because of the forced prerequisite. She's nowhere near top tier, but I'd gladly use her over someone like Elektra, Wasp or Devilsaur anyday.

On my way to champ him since I didn't get Kate fully covered yet. But I also have 4* Blade near fully covered, and I must say his strike tiles are impressive, and nearly 2.500 damage each turn at level 150. I expect him to be devastating when champed. Any more recommendations? How about Star-Lord? Can he be used in place of IM40?
Etheus wrote: I love the new Star Lord. I consider him a top tier 4* just based on his passive. His ability to accelerate all powers except black is huge. I have champion SS/OML and I will often use SL 5/5/3 as my third in SIM. I can often take out Rulks for only 10 red ap. I'm not sure how SL plays in the 4* only tier, but he's definitely a player in the 5* transition.

MK is FUN!! but not conistent, kateeye packs a punch, but is very setup heavy, quake is lowtier in my opinion and antman is fun to look at, but weak
