Another Iron Man!

So creative.

These release articles are like a fourth grade grammar homework assignment - the kind where you have to go through and add commas, correct improper usage of words, etc. It makes sense that so many of the powers and ranking awards are misleading.

this character sounds terrible. yet again. I think the developers are batting like .125

At least it won’t be in a 7 day event, it had been a bit since we had one of those and I feared were due for one this Thursday. Champed Teen Jean being boosted that week will at least make Thick as Thieves an easier grind.

Her blue sounds different, curious to see that in action. Looking forward to her green airborne power showing up on the next few patch lists.

"Yet again"? Thanos, Medusa, and Carol are all pretty great. I'm curious to see how Ironheart will play.

Hm... The move that brings the special tiles in the middle works well with r&g's green. Also chulk's. One punch to remove most if not all special tiles is good for me. However... Is this a 4*? She sounds like a 3*. Right?

Did I miss the part where they talked about her rarity?

GrimSkald

Also, she's not "Iron Man." They state she's going to be her own character, so you can combine her with Iron Man or whatever. I really don't see the issue.

Sure, this doesn't mean that people are getting Gambit or Nightcrawler, or whatever classic character they want, but I really can't fault them for trying to be current. She's a character that appears in the comics right now....

Seems like these boards have become a secondary or tertiary option for reporting upcoming events. We learn about 2 upcoming PvE events and their start dates in that article that aren't in the 'sneak peak' on this board.

Medusa is pretty good, but half of the Thanos' is all kinds of bad, and too early to tell on new Marvel, but seems really niche. I started groaning when the dev stated Ironheart was a support character. Seems like most of what we get lately.

Depends on how you're defining another Iron Man. Yeah in the game she is not classified as an Iron Man, but logic dictates that if she looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, she's a duck...

Medusa is t10
Thanos was half bad - now he's 90% good
Carol is way above niche - she maybe fighting Peggy for best 4*

Totally get the frustration of yeah another 4 and another iron manish character to boot. Though it is what is it is and shouldn't expect anything less. Just too bad that it isn't the fabled big announcement game changing feature...which I think we're long overdue imo.

Peej13

Gambit, Rogue, Mr. Sinister, Nightcrawler, Sabretooth, Kang, Cable, etc. - all characters in comics right now, and not yet in this game (in any form).

Which is great and all but the vast majority won't be able to build them for months on end. Maybe if there was more of an effort to place these new characters as progression rewards instead of the same run down of first year 4s then people might get more excited.

Carol is good, not sure on great but that is only because I haven't used her a lot. Same with Medusa, just not enough evidence. Thanos was broken, now he is better but still nowhere near tops. I will probably never use him.

but lest we all forget agent venom, 4* blade, gweenpool... even 4* cage and spiderwoman to an extent. Clearly, every new release can't be jumped straight to top of the list, I get it. But they miss more than they hit. And we DON'T NEED another character release right now. We need that fabled "awesome new gameplay change" we were promised. We need bug fixes. If they insist on delaying that stuff while still releasing a new characters, they better be amazing characters to at least make it worth while. At this point, they are padding their wallets and giving us the middle finger

No! She will never have the pleasure!

Meh. This character is so situational I'm not sure I'd ever use her outside of an essential.

Her green power is a real head-scratcher. Disabling yourself for twice as long as the enemy? The only reason I could see why that would be beneficial would be to avoid incoming damage -- but you're usually using the stun to achieve that, anyway. Daredevil's stun is longer, repetitive (assuming the tile doesn't immediately get matched away), and only 1 AP more expensive in blue -- the only real advantage RW has is that green generation is a lot more common than blue.

Don't forget Dr Strange!

The last few releases have been great. I'm almost relieved to see what appears to be an extremely mediocre release because it means I won't feel obligated to gun for t10-20 on the PVE event.

It says it causes damage as well, so it kinda balances out. I agree though, her powers are all extremely situational - Remote Control Gauntlets is the only one I can see getting regular use.

Honestly that's probably what we need. Most of the AOE / big nuke powers are already established. Does the game change with another 4clops red nuike or ICe green AOE? Probably not.

I personally would rather see more support chars with interesting power mixes that make my existing champs more flexibile than another Kate Bishop with more redundant nuke powers in colors that are already overrepresented.

edit don't get me wrong. Riri is a lame choice for a character. But I'm okay with more support oriented/board control type powers.
