His preview is up for the Introducing event.  You can preview his powers by clicking his shards.  So that's two 4* in a row.

    Yep.  Just came to the forums to say the same stuff.

    Looks like he is doing Protect Tile Stuff; I wonder if he always was, or if this is a reaction to the BRB/polaris meta?

    Looks like a 5,5,3 and pair with BRB.  I’m not sure I like the stun himself mechanic with his blue.  He can also work well with Polaris.

    Totally understand, regarding the stun thing.  But I like the mentality it's supposed to reflect...

    I imagine its supposed to be that stereotypical collar and elbow lockup, so both of them are engaged but can't do much else.  The attack tiles are the applied pressure/pain that he's causing during it. 

    It's things like that that I appreciate about MPQ.  Now to find those characters that do stuff when your guys get stunned... like 5* Black Widow....  hmmm....

    The real question will 5* BW trigger.  Her black will stun the enemy for 1 turn.  The issue is the target character is stunned my Red Guardian.  Will she add one or break the game.  If BW does add an extra turn on the stun it would be better.

    for his blue I think it would be better with just a 3 turn stun at level 5 instead of needing to have special tiles out.  He has multiple powers that are situationally better.  

    I like your your thought process on taking him to the ground and the power is themed

    I wonder if she'll trigger; doesn't she need to have an ally start the turn stunned to do something? with a 1-turn stun, he may not start a turn stunned. Also it being self-stun makes me wonder; what happens with IM40?

    Seeing the costume that is gonna be in Black Widow Vs the original Red Guardian costume in the cover used makes me very nostalgic for the latter. Obviously we have to have the movie costume but it makes me a little sad.

    he looks mad basic for a 4 star tbh, i can already see his shield training being trash.

    Isn’t there already a MPQ topic on him from the devs ?

    Because he posted 4 hours earlier than the dev.
