    Well, nobody is really talking about Kayne Parker, is he good?, what is your opinion about him?

    Yeah. I noticed that, too.

    Here's mine, for what it's worth. He looks ok to me. Overall interesting. Red looks solid. Black and blue look ok. Powers are cheap. I wouldn't pull for him (I only pull a couple times a year), but I will pull for Jubilee, and I like Kaine over May, so I'll be getting him.

    Out of curiosity, are you PVP focused only? Curious why you would prefer Kaine over May. Thanks!

    Oh, great question. I mainly do PVE. Why is May that great? I feel like more people like her than I do, so i might be missing something.

    With the right supports she can win almost every PvE fight without moving the board once.

    Are you guys comparing Aunt May to May Parker (though technically isn't Aunt May, May Parker???)

    Oh. Ha, maybe I messed up, was somebody saying Mayday Parker is good?

    I saw the other poster not understanding why everybody loves "May" and assumed he meant Golden Oldie, because I haven't seen anybody who loves Mayday (she's ok!).

    If anyone had asked me, I would have told them to space out Aunt May and May Parker (Spider Girl) by at least 6-7 months.

    Unfortunately no one did.

    If we get any more Parkers in this game, we can open up a valet business.

    On July 25, Aunt May Golden Oldie leaves Latests. That means the next group will be:
    Jubilee
    Spider-Girl
    Kaine Parker

    Then around August 22, the next group will be:
    Spider-Girl
    Kaine Parker
    (Some new 5 who is probably related to the Deadpool movie somehow)

    Agatha was already accidentally previewed in-game as the next 5. Guess they could always push her back and slip in some DP instead.

    Agatha All Along comes out 18th September, so closer to then might be a better bet giving us a DP & W release which I guess could be Cassandra Nova?

    It seems like there's a lack of analysis on Kaine. He's currently boosted, so here are my thoughts on him:

    His Red looks good at first glance, but is average in practice. Sure, it can do good damage, but first you need 5 Red to give an opponent a Mark of Kaine, and then everything else can proc. His passive, while requiring the aforementioned 5 Red AP, also needs Red matches to proc, and Kaine has to be the one making those Red matches. The extra damage requires another 5 Red AP. In today's metagame, 10-AP abilities might as well be nonexistent. There are countless better Red abilities out there, although it's decent as a kill shot.

    His Black...really feels like you're playing with fire. I was using 550 boosted to 672 Juggernaut and Yelena against him, and Kaine accumulated 120k damage. That's right. Once the countdown appeared, I could leave Kaine alone because the countdown immediately unalived him when it went off (Tbf, this was a baby champed Kaine boosted to around 570. If it were a 550 boosted to 672 Kaine he would have survived it). Sure, it can be extended, but once again it requires Black matches to do so, and Kaine has to be the one making those Black matches. It goes up in viability if you pair him with tile destroyers and matchers to get rid of it, although that's not helped by being Fortified. It's clearly designed for you to extend the Countdown as much as possible; perhaps Kang could help with that. Also, the active part costs 5 AP, which for its effects is an eternity. If the active cost 3 AP it'd be better.

    His Blue is decent. Again, Kaine needs to be the one making Red and Black matches to reduce its cost, but that's achievable. Destroying up to 7 tiles for as low as 3 AP is nice to have, especially when paired with characters who benefit from tile destruction.

    He's solid against goons, average against tile movers. Kaine really needs to tank Red and Black to be almost optimal. "Almost" because his Red and Black still have further hoops to jump through.
