Fixing Northstar

I’ve noticed that Northstar has a couple of broken components, the 1st is with his “Star Bright” yellow power. It states that it creates a 2 turn countdown tile that targets NorthStar’s “Allies”, when in fact it also targets Northstar. Can that be fixed to only target one of his 2 allies instead of Northstar himself.
The 2nd broken component is with Northstar’s black ability “Up North”. When paired with 5* Archangel, Archangel’s passive ability “Angle of Attack” won’t stun the airborne enemy.

    The Northstar-Archangel interaction is a known issue.

    Also, on Star Bright, if it couldn't target himself, it would become useless when he was the only character left. As it is, it becomes his best power in that situation.

    It specifically says an “ally”, it should only be between two characters. If he’s the only character left then he’s just the only character left. He wouldn’t be the only character that has a power that’s useless when left alone. I.E. Peggy’s blue power.

    Peggy's blue says "each active ally", and she put 3 countdowns if your whole team is active. So her wording matches Northstar's.

    There are a few other characters that use "ally" or similar words as multiplier for certain effects and they also count themselves as part of the multiplier. Rogue and Prof$ comes to mind.

    On the other hand, there are characters that use "ally" for certain effects and stick to what "ally" means. Agent Venom comes to mind.

    Northstar really doesn't need to have *any* of his powers made *worse*!
