Multiple Man (Jaime Madrox) 4****

Does anyone else think it’s confusing that there’s now two powers in the game called “My own best friend”? On entirely different characters (I.E. Multiple Man & 5star Emma), and having entirely different effects…
Guess the design team didn’t clock that before release? Or they’re just fine with it? I’m not sure which of those is worse…

Why don’t we just call all damage powers from this point on “POW, right in the kisser”, or “ima firin mah lazor!”??

Hey, you come up with 953 ability names that are often based on, or simply are, well known phrases - and try to not repeat yourself.

And more coming all the time!

they make sense for both characters….diamonds are a girls best friend….I’m my own best friend….

I've tried to be confused by this but haven't succeeded yet.

I should probably clarify that I am in no way angered by this and was just trying to be amusing.
May have come across other than intended in my previous post.
And yes, I absolutely get the thematic references for those power names.

So whilst we’re on the topic; is anyone else aware of any powers with the same name? (various spellings of Booong excluded 😂)

Same named abilities could become a problem if they are team-up eligible.

In the series Universe X, Madrox on the brink of starving ate one of his dupes. Is...is reabsorb Jamie getting out his knife and fork and reaching for the salt and pepper?!?!? 😬😬🙁

This character needs to be nerfed. He's a major npe and I think his powers don't work as intended. He's got a already broken interaction with Acended 4* Agent Colson and we need to stop this madness of a power being fired for 1 ap..... just so many issues with this. When he is able to be ascended, he is going to be a even bigger menace. If they decide to keep him as is, he needs to never be allowed to get to 5*

I feel like this was addressed much earlier in this thread.

He has a win condition. Other characters can get the win faster. MM has a gimmick that gives him a use... But he's very beatable. I don't see him being that much of a menace.

I guess its easy to say this now but I'm trying to imagine him at high level and especially ascended when every tick of dmg spams a dupe and each dupe you make reduces his dmg taken by 2% (as a 4). How will that scale up? I mean it'll be a bit before anyone can ascend him, but you could have a character who is extremely hard to kill and spams the board and covers up all tiles with his dupes (at least right now) and wins while you're trying to hurt him.

I guess I'm not doubting he could become a menace...

... I'm just doubting he could become a stronger, faster menace than other menaces.

And without a player firing his powers efficiently, he'll be even slower on defense...
... And you should be able to plan on downing him with a few hard hits preventing him from becoming hard to kill.

I'm not disagreeing with any points you've made about his possibilities...
...I just think those possibilities will be manageable.

I could be wrong though, I have been before.
