No, the AI does not. If on the turn he lands, the Vulture has 6 black AP available, up he goes again. If the Vulture had enough AP when it went airborne, it can be a long, long time before it comes down so you can hit him. He is only losing 2 black AP per use. And he'll hit you with those blue powers and green powers too.
I mean, I like to use him myself, he's kind of the IM40 of the 4* tier, but they really need to put in some powers that will affect him when he's airborne as he can be incredibly frustrating to fight.

If there's another black user on the team, those stored black might already be gone by the time he lands, or the AI might decide to wait and use the AP to fire another power instead. It's worthwhile checking who else is on the team, because they can get in the way.
Seed teams are a not-at-all-simiilar situation (if you're not using Thanos to brute-force your way through them). I generally target the 3* or 4* first, because I want to leave the AI the option of using the weak 1* powers.

The combination of him being mega whales proof and downing two characters pushed me over the edge for a few minutes. I made the mistake of targeting Medusa and Grocket first, which won't happen again.

I made the mistake of targeting Medusa and Grocket first, which won't happen again. I’m glad rather than just venting (which is okay mind you) you learned something in defeat and plan to adapt! Very cool.I’d almost always target Grocket last. He does all his damage up front. Once the strikes are down he kind of sucks and doesn’t bring too much else to the table.Similarly, Medusa is there to heal the team when you match the strikes away and to do passive damage with her countdown. Either you match the strikes and her team heals or you leave them and slowly die. Since the latter isn’t an option you pretty much don’t have a choice but to heal her team a lot in the beginning.Vulture is the only of the three whose nastiness can be prevented by denial. So I’d either target Medusa first while denying Black to stop the passive damage, or target Vulture first while denying Black to stop his AP generation.
