The Ambidextrous Iron Fist

in MPQ General Discussion
Sometimes, I get a bit tired of the grind and entertain myself by paying a bit more (maybe too much) attention to some of the game details that I normally ignore. 

For instance, did you ever notice that 3* Iron Fist has his right hand glowing and ready when he's your selected character during a match, but when you actually activate his purple "Iron Fist" ability (with 12+ black AP), he throws a left instead? 

What other artwork / game mechanic wackiness have you found?

    And which hand does an enemy Fist hit you with?

    In recent years Danny has learned to focus energy into both hands. This is basically canon.


    Now, if someone could explain how 5*/3* Hawkeye's hair changes from having a part when he's not in front, to have no part when he is front I got a No Prize with your name on it.

    Davos? I didn't know there was a Marvel/Game of Thrones crossover.

    Silly goose, it's nothing to do with Game of Thrones.
    It's a Marvel/Doctor Who crossover.

    Oh, the enemy Fist hits me with a right, but *he* has his left hand cocked and ready! 

    Can't trust those lefties - they're sinister!

    I've always liked the attention to detail on characters like Ragnarok. I'd have expected it to just flip his art when playing against him, but there is a clear difference in his from left to right.

    I'm sure there are others like this, but I've yet to notice! 

    The fact a play him once in a blue moon is another matter.

    On the first pass, yes. Thanks for (re)bringing it to my attention. Lefties unite!

    Gamora (3*) has the ability to knock the heads of two oppents together rending them unconscious (2 enemies stunned for 2 turns):
    "Gamora grabs two of her enemies and smashes their heads together"

    This also works with 1 remaining enemy so I'm wondering whos heads she's knocking to make that happen.
    At that point, I think it's just a headbutt. She probably picked it up from Drax.

    When Cyclops uses Full Blast, he's aiming at the sky, so he should really only be able to affect airborne enemies (No-Prize: there's a helicopter carrying an anvil shipment up there).

    Why does it hurt the enemy when Agent Venom and Mordo jumps? They both have jumping animations. I never understood exactly how this is supposed to hurt.
     Have you seen the movie? Mordo uses the boots to manuever around his enemies and catch them off guard or hit them in a weak spot. So to me, I just took the jump to mean he was vaulting into a better position to allow him to strike. 

    Same vibe I got from Agent Venom. He's leaping into the fray to attack his enemies. Not really the jump itself that causes the damage, but what happens after the jump.

    How does OBW's karate chop somehow heal her team?

    Perhaps more importantly, where is she conducting spy work that fishnets allow her to blend in?
    she's doing the whole ye olde James Bond era spycraft where it's more about tantalizing distraction than Metal Gear-esque stealth
