    I gotta second Magneto's blue. I remember when I first got to the point of playing against 3 star characters in PVP with my 2 star roster. Magneto flies up into the air, a few tiles move around and I'm thinking "sweet, no matches....wait where did all my health go?"

    Honorary mention to Thor's redflag.png . Here, I am bringing down the full power of Mjolnir!!! For 1k damage and 3 yellow tiles. Yay!

    KP's Wilson's Gambit. Just one finger. If he actually punches, he probably can one shot anyone.
    KP's The Fisk Defense. I still don't know what he is trying to do. Grunting ? Cursing ? Anyway, my AP is gone and a bunch of Maggia goons show up.

    Vision's blue ability. What an innocent-looking animation but never leave him for last in pvp. Especially his pvp when he's boosted. A cascade could bring a world of hurt.

    The one power that has always underwhelmed me as a visual is Thor's greenflag.png

    Bam. You're all dead.

    (The sound effect is cool though.)

    Loki purple- I remember the first time I saw Loki and I said "how useless is that purple". If you don't kill Loki first, he'll bite you in the **** no matter what tier you are on.

    I completely hate Loki. He makes matches last forever and screws you out of being able to make more than match 3s. If ever a character's power perfectly reflected their comic book persona it would be Loki.

    Every time I see someone comment on the sound effects, I think "This game has sound? Oh, right, that thing I turned off the first week of playing"

    I turn off my sound mainly because if my Wife calls in the middle of a PVP match, I put her on speaker phone so I can keep playing. The first time I picked up her call and she heard the music in the background, I had to pretend it was the TV and I "lost" phone service lol. It sucks you cannot pick up a phone call without the risk of the game turning off.

    To he fair, the power is basically Magneto creating a whirling dervish of scrap metal, forks, small automobiles, car keys... And the blue and red shuffling around the board actually represents that. That **** would be scary.

    icon_kingpin.pngblackflag.png is odd. POINT... 8000 damage

    On a similar note, icon_kingpin.pngpurpleflag.png always makes me think "CURSE YOU HE-MAAAAAN" as he shakes his fist at you to steal some AP.

    She-Hulk is a good candidate. Her green can either ruin your day or do nothing special, but the furious animation doesn't match what the ability does at all (nor does the ability make sense for the character). Meanwhile, the animation for her red looks like she's about to lay the hurt on, but it's really one of the weakest AoEs in the game.

    I like the noise she makes. I don't know where it came from, but it sounds like one of those iconic Hollywood sounds that people use everywhere. Like the "aaaagh!" sound in Star Wars whenever a stormtrooper falls into a pit of some kind.
    This game has sound?

    icon_quicksilver.pngblackflag.png seems innocent enough, but can be very helpful.

    Recently ended up with 24 yellow AP while in the Required Wasp Node. 3 gentle sprinklings of pixie dust later I was dealing over 3k in match damage icon_e_biggrin.gif

    SL's punch is super weak-looking. It kind of reminds me of when Narcis Prince attacks in SNES' Super Punchout. But like his attacks, SL's punch can be pretty mean! Over 20,000 dmg when boosted, for just 6 AP. Yiikes!!
