Which color has the best / coolest powers?

kk3thess

It's a weird and nonsense question, but I'd always like to know which color powers the players like the most or think that they have the best abilities.

Orion

Blue

I'm going blue.  It has such a great range of effects from stuns (MBW, Gamora), heal (Surfer), damage + tile conversion (Mordo, 4Cyclops),  board manipulation/shake (IM46, Quake), special tile creation (IW, 4Punisher, 3R&G, Beast), AP steal (Nightcrawler, Wasp), and even really bad AoE attacks (IM40, Quicksilver).

Purple

Purple. Aggressive recon, Raging Cajun, Psychic Rapport, Mind over Matter, Whales, Deceptive Tactics, Polarity Shift and many more.

All of those listed and no mention of Peggy’s blue?  Peggy’s blue is one of my favorites. Use it at the right time when she’s boosted and it’s a 3-turn team stun that does 50k+ damage.

Was torn between purple and yellow and now I wish I’d gone yellow just so it could get some love.

Some good moves here but I’m surprised you listed Anger. Although it is hands down Hulk’s best move that just highlights how badly his power set has aged.

This is like asking which Spider-Man costume is better. The classic red and blues? Or the black suit. Actually, this question is nothing like that... other than they're both tough to answer!

I actually went with yellow, not because they're the most powerful powers, pound-for-pound, but rather because there's some rather unique/niche powers that can be game-changing, but are also rather situational...which makes it a fun color for me  There's the wide range of yellow passives to build a team around (Peggy, Quake, Carol), there's a variety of heals (too many to list), there's "do damage when you're in serious danger of defeat"  (2* Storm, who's yellow saved me in Gauntlet in my 1*/2* days on many occasions, 3* Spider-Man), there's tile buffing (Wasp, Carol, 3* Falcon), call for help (Kingpin, Fury, Coulson, 5* Cap, 5* Iron Man), generate special tiles (4* Sam Wilson, Ant-Man, 3* Panther, AP generation (Iron Man, 1*/3* Storm, Coulson, Cloak&Dagger) and even the ability to pass your turn without shaking the board (Squirrel Girl).  

That being said, with so many characters and only six colors, every color has it's own range of really good powers, so it's interesting so see other people's perspectives/priorities...

Blue

I went with blue; Peggy, Wasp, Riri, Iceman, both Mags, Mordo, Ant-Man, Spidey... Really useful when you need to play prevent. 

Could have easily gone black, though. Giggity. 

HoundofShadow

Blue

I'm currently in 3* land. Based on my memory, the most common colour that I use are:

Blue: Dr Strange, Magneto, Hawkeye, Steve Rogers, QuikSilver, Daken

Purple: Deadpool, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Dr Strange , Daken

Black

My vote black. For one simple reason. Electra shadow step. Both three and four star. I have been playing around with it in the recent PvP event. I have used Carol Danvers black twice and iron man 40 red twice, same battle, totaling around 44k damage, but it is negated. Electra still stood, had to lose a lot of battles to get the one that allowed it to be done. I understand all other colors have their merits. Not sure if any has this type ability, under right circumstance. Please enlighten me if I have missed any abilities, thank you

Obviously blue is the coolest color. Harhar.

(Funny how we associate the higher energy end of the visual spectrum with being cool....oh well.)

Hmm, it seems some beg to differ
