Rising Sun / Sunset Strip - 6
AP
Rising Sun - Karolina soars upwards, disengaging from the fight until the time is right. Karolina places a 3 turn Fortified Countdown tile on the board that creates 1 strength 5 Protect tile each turn and generates 1 Blue AP when it goes off. While this tile is on the board, Karolina is Airborne and the ability becomes Sunset Strip.
Sunset Strip - (PASSIVE) as the sun falls, Karolina descends and harnesses her energy for a tactical blow. If there are 5 or more friendly Protect tiles on the board at the start of her turn, Karolina removes her Rising Sun Countdown tile and converts 3 Protect tiles to Strike tiles.

Powers don't sound like him but I'm going to guess Legion.
Edit: This guy with Bl4ck Panther is going to be fun. Shame about the overlap though.
No particular reason why, just seems like everything is about him lately.
Another name that did come up however, is Mr Negative, who can heal, and his powers can be used for healing and good, but then instantly flip and be used destructively (protects into strikes). He is a villain though, and I’m pretty sure he can’t fly anyway, but I would love it if he made it into the game at some point.
EDIT: it could be someone like Beast? The powers seem like improved versions of the 3* version, and in the same colours too. He’s acrobatic, which is as airborne as black cat is, is the team doctor, and has a violent side too. That’s my guess
EDIT 2: (Hank) McCoys is also a brand of crisp/chips too (and definitely has a cheese and onion flavour).
That brings me to your comment on flying and protecting people, which from the Runaways lineup would lead me to guess Karolina Dean. This power sets seems like it would work in an interesting way with Nico's, and Karolina's feelings for Nico are anything but a secret.
That said though, I can't make it align with the "Cheese & Onions" clue for the life of me.
But maybe Adam Warlock? Could he have the GotG tag? the mirror/mirror Grocket?
If it's a villain could it be The Beetle?
Def works with Rescue, Doom seems like he would just last forever!, great for transistioners who still rely on strange for clears
I very much like the idea of having all of your team airborne at once: 5Marv/Vulture/???? all sorts of green AP ramp.
maybe because I came up with 2* Bullseye as my first playable char that I have a spot in my heart for making Protects "work". yay new options!
"Man and machine
Keep yourself clean
Or be a has-been
Like a dinosaur..."
Last 3 lines don't matter. It's the first "Man and Machine" that got me thinking. Could this character be a cyborg? Protect and strike tiles and also has team affiliation factoring into his powers.
Cyborg
Special tiles
Team affiliation (X-Men perhaps?)
Y/B/G
4* Cable perhaps?
H.E.R.B.I.E. ?
