***** Doctor Doom (God Emperor) *****

Hi Everyone,
"When everything else has fallen apart, Victor von Doom finds his time to shine. After taking control of a massive cache of energy, he restores the universe as best as he can, becoming its creator and unquestionable ruler - the God Emperor of Battleworld.
Even armed with omnipotence, Doom remains cautious, relying on only a trusted few to advise and execute his vision. Is his paranoia just a hazard of the job, or do old enemies still haunt the shadows?"
Check out the brand new 5-Star Doctor Doom, and find out how you can recruit him onto your roster!

I guess he's at least better than Kingpin.
Assume his Black steals more than 1 of each mana type.
Might be annoying on defense but niche for pvp and pve.
EDIT. Oooh, self true heal, not burst.
I'll need to see it in action. Sounds like the kind of character I'll enjoy (regardless of where he lands in the meta), if the numbers work out well. Glad to see a 5* character with the blue/black/yellow palette.
Powers that can cause cascades are always worded as 'swap X tiles'.
The real question is whether it's better to get him in the special store with Strange/Banner or wait till he enters latest with Cable/Kingpin. Neither option seems great
KGB
Though right now Jess tanks red over Thor, so I'd be losing that, which isn't ideal.
I suppose this could be somewhat of a counter to Gritty teams, but that essentially means sacrificing Doom each match to make that happen. Maybe that's fine once and awhile, but you certainly can't sustain a PvP climb doing that every single match.
I do like that passive that helps feed his black nuke though. It's only one AP, but that's pretty cool.
Outside of that Thor/ok/jj still ruling all
Powers that you have to die to work have little interest to me. I’m cool with this bang average release because it eases the pressure for CP and LTS. I can get one cover and carry on hoarding.
That yellow and black steal might have use down the line or in pve in CL 9 and if you have to break hoard at some point with him in it, well then he’s not a complete lost cause like Kingpin. His heal is decent enough but thor won’t be matching that yellow for okoye.
NEXT!
At least reshuffle the board is 100% thematic.
Brave New World (Yellow) only heals the other two characters on his team. It does not heal himself. You'll need to rely on Render Unto Doom (Blue) for that.
Doom Thanos X could be decent
Initially I thought it was kinda costly to sacrifice Doom just to effectively counter Gritty teams. But flip the script. If you're a Gritty team, you WANT to kill Doom last. But as the match drags on, you run the risk of him keeping his team alive with yellow and nuking you with black. There's also more chances of you accidentally feeding him too. If you can manage to keep your strikes and buff them up, then it's maybe not an issue. But you WILL have to save him for last.
But I think they were going more for specifically an Okoye counter. If I'm using Thorkoye, what do I primarily match to keep Okoye out front and Thor in back? Yellow and black (and TU) tiles. Against Doom, that heals him AND feeds his team heal and nuke.
It seems his value may be more in prolonging and dragging out matches to the point that people will just start skipping him altogether rather than deal with the hassle.
I could be way off base, and I still don't think he's necessarily amazing, but willing to give him the benefit of doubt right now. I'll reserve further judgment until actually using him.
I usually fear the usefulness of a character with 1 direct-damaging ability, but this is a big one and should be fed a bit passively. Got to agree with others, eventually this could disrupt things somewhat.
His healing on blue should not be much of a factor though. Assuming you leave enemy Doom for last, he will have no way to gain health, and then you finish him with abilities at once.
Vs: Kitty/Grocket, run near-dead Doom, Thor, IW-Cap. Ensure Doom dies early so he will remove all enemy specials. Let Thor gain yellow for Cap's revive. Bring Doom back anytime before you win. Repeat the process next match since Doom will have minimal true health to start again.
