    Thanks for the link! Definitely an interesting read. Don't agree with each exact rank but that's totally subjective; the descriptions are pretty spot-on though.

    He ranks a few of them based on looks alone (Blade 4*, for example), and I'm not sure how that places them in the rankings... although I guess Cho's totally awesome hairdo is enough for a totally awesome placement.

    Pretty informed descriptions overall though, it was a fun read.

    For the 3*s and up I find his rankings sketchy, but I can see why he ranks some of them based on his roster screencaps. icon_e_smile.gif

    Since good ole Brad is part of the S.H.I.E.L.D family and in S.H.I.E.L.D specifically, we all tried to adjust the rankings. However, as stated character rankings are very subjective. I would move a few around but the writeups are great. All in all he did a fine job.

    Heh, didn't notice he was shield. But it's true that different characters play better or worse at various stages in roster development.

    His 4* rankings are a bit sketchy. Iceman is a clear #1, but to have Thor and Deadpool ahead of RHulk, Punisher and Cyclops? Guess it's personal taste.

    Don't be crazy. Peggy is the clear #1.

    Sorry, but no.
    Iceman has better damage/AP ratios, self acceleration and the most reliable stun ability in the game.
    Peggy's passive is nice, but it's not enough to dethrone the Creepsicle.

    I agree. I would quibble with the placement of several characters (e.g. elektra; i have a soft spot for her too, but her skillset is just too specific to have a ton of value in this game). But the write-ups are almost all on point and demonstrate an understanding of game and characters. A nice read.

    4 and 5* rankings are both a bit of a mess. Reads like he's in the ~4* level. Elektra, Wasp, Kate Bishop, Bolt, IM46 are notably out of whack, among others, IMO

    It's a tough choice but overall peggys passive is useful in all situations and she has a big stun on her blue just not the targeted enemy.

    I really want a character who has a passive to always be out in front and reduce enemy ability damage (like collosus but better) Would be good to see something a little different in support roles. Cage was a good start with his fortified tiles but you have to build that defense up.
