"Herbert Wyndham was entranced from youth by evolution. Voraciously reading everything he could, Wyndham found his muse in Nathaniel Essex (later Mister Sinister). After a chance meeting with an Inhuman, Wyndham unlocked the secrets to genetic modification. Using these, Wyndham has become the High Evolutionary, capable of evolving and de-evolving life. Bringing chaos for both heroes and villains, he pursues his own, often hidden, agenda of improving all life into his idea of a perfect form."

Looks like this guy is the same as the 5*, just with different numbers. His black power shows 7AP instead of 8AP...maybe a typo?

Otherwise...at least we don't have to evaluate him separately!

BlackBoltRocks

I was hoping this guy would be much simpler than his 5* counterpart...

Bad

I really like more the ultraman costume.
Like arcade the versions are the same.
A good way to entice covers for the 5*.
And if not 4* players will use this 3*.

KGB

Curious why his Black is cheaper here than on his 5* counterpart given they do the same thing. Is it a typo or is it because as a 3* he's rarely likely to get the 2nd component (his health higher)?

KGB

trenchdigger

The yellow passive bonus match and ability %s look correct on this version. Assume 5* is supposed to replicate these figures.

Itsmeabxab

I was under the assumption that casting his yellow also increased the ability damage of the targeted teammate, no? I cast it 4 times on 3* patch and it increased his HP but not his ability damage. Bug or am I not understanding the power?

Tiger_Wong

Bug in the process of being fixed.
