Maybe its because I have not had 3 star mags very long but 2 star magneto just seems like he has better power set to me.

Meaning that there are far better yellow/blue/red characters in 3* land. Or even when we ignore yellow since it's support, better blue/red users.
1* spiderman has a better power set than 2*, 3*. I cannot comment on the 5* spidermen though0 -
Not worse as such, but I do wish there was a higher tier version of 2* Storm. The 1*/3* version was never a staple of my roster in the same way.
Also, apparently 5* Steve is kinda bad as 5* go. I've never used him, so I can't say for sure, but given how much I like his 3* version, that's disappointing.

X-force Wolverine's powers seem not as good as his 2* or 3* versions. His healing isn't passive, his nuke whilst good relies upon the opposition gathering their strongest colour and his green is terrible, low damage, random placement and the other 2 at least give strike tiles. I know he was nerfed so don't know what he was like before but even champed he isn't great.

X-Force Wolverine was f@"+ing ace pre nerf. They could probably reverse the nerf now though and he would be not overpowered (and maybe even underpowered) due to power creep in recent 4*s1

They should do something. Even if they left him as is but at least gave him a decent Health boost to compensate for his risky yellow, it would be a start. Or make his yellow like 3* R&G. Or make it cheaper or only have to last 1 round before it heals. I dunno, something!

And this isn’t necessarily a lower tier having better powers thing, so apologies if is considered off topic but wouldn’t it have been nice if when they did 4* Cage & Fist that they had reversed the 3* synergy colour generation? So Cage would generate black for Iron Fist this time around. A best buddy returning the favour!

I don't know about better but I certainly prefer playing 3* cyclops to 4* cyclops.
2* storm is probably marginally better than 3* storm.
4* XFW is worse then pretty much ever other wolverine.
3* IF seems to be better than 4* IF based on limited use with him since championing him.
I think 2* Captain Marvel is better than 3* (but 4* blows both out of the water)
2* Bullseye is better than 3* IMO, but neither is worth writing home about so meh.

Aside from Speed Shot, I'd much rather have 1* Hawkeye's power set than the 2* version.2

3-star Magneto is a rock star. His red does fair damage and really sets up board shakers by getting rid of all those pesky TU tiles. His blue is a great nuke and a decent board shaker. His yellow can quickly shut down any incoming match damage and serves as one of the best defensive tile spammers out there (too bad Wasp's tile-flipping power is also yellow, or they'd be a menace together). One team I go back to regularly is Cmags/XFW/Loki. That team punches far beyond their level. I can't remember the last time I used 2-star Magneto outside of a required node.
I agree that 2* Carol > 3* Carol
I don't agree that 3* Storm < 2* Storm (3Storm's black is just too nasty)
Of all the Wolverine's I think the 2-star version has the best powers, but every Wolverine can be effective.
I'd give up my 5-star Iron Man and my Hulkbuster before I'd give up IM40.1 -
I also prefer 3* Falcon to 4* Falcap, especially when paired with Wasp. Once his purple is fired and Wasp uses her yellow, it can go very quickly.

X-Force Wolverine's non-passive heal is definitely worse.
I don't like 5* MCU Spidey's blue. It does team stun, which is nice, but it removes web tiles when it does it. Can't be removing web tiles from the board while causing no damage. It does have a not-listed-as-passive element of adding web tiles when there are fewer than 4 on the board, but when you pair him with another web tile generator, like Miles, it becomes moot. It's also one AP more expensive than 3* Spidey's stun that adds web tiles instead of taking them away.
I would rather have 3* Iron Fist's black than the 4* version. Might be controversial, but there are so many ways now to boost that tile, and so many other characters with a better active black than 4* IF, I like the 3* version better.

IF 4* offers a bit of support and some AP generation + big damage. His blue makes a pretty strong strike tile and if you pair him with someone else who makes them, you can chain into his green pretty fast which hits pretty hard considering the cost. His blue also gives you the bonus of fortifying pretty much all of your strike tiles for 6 AP, that seems underwhelming but they'll live much longer.
Black is a good nuke, even at 3 covers it still hits hard, the conversion of protect tiles is gimmicky but its fun.

5* Star-Lord is the obvious answer for me. If I could get a 5* Lazy Clone of 4* Star-Lord, I'd ... well, I'd still be pulling Latest tokens, for starters.0
