    I think there are a few but I really don't think most become great. I might be biased with what I see in PVP but it is Polaris, Grocket, M'Baku, Juggs and that's about it. And only Polaris or Grocket seem to matter in PVE. Again, I'm totally open to being wrong but I really don't see ascended 4s being that important in the meta.

    4Jugg5 is a monster in PvE. If you haven't figured out how to use him PM me and I'll throw you a couple teams that will change your world.

    Agreed that her game play is not fun. I will champ her and then she will sit on the bench unless require, like 97% of the 4*s.

    Most of the 4's become great after ascension.

    The difference is boosted vs not. The guys you're talking about are useful at 450. Lots of the other characters become really, really strong when they're 550+. Even a lot of the "bad" 4* get crazy good when you're running them out there at 625 or 650 -- the numbers just become overwhelming.

    I made the black move and it reshuffled, and then the next move won the match. I haven’t gotten it to the point of total lockout yet but I’m curious what happens.

    You insta lose and your roster gets deleted

    Only way to win...is not to play.

    I expect what really happens is it shuffles until a match is made by accident, but i still intend to find out.

    Seems like it shuffles once:

And only Polaris or Grocket seem to matter in PVE. Again, I'm totally open to being wrong but I really don't see ascended 4s being that important in the meta.

    I have almost all the 4's ascended now, and when boosted I'm using ascended 4's over my natural 5 star 550's most of the time. X-force deadpool purple hits very hard when boosted, is cheap, and paired with mthor you will destroy all of them. X-force wolive hits like a truck and creates giant cascades, Blade red passive hits hard and he creates big strikes, Cyclops self fuels all his powers and his red when boosted can one shot most anything, Karnak ( of course he's great boosted). Modok is a surprising monster when boosted, Dark beast can one shot everybody on just match damage with some black ap (Equip the tinkerer support and use ap boosts), Totally awesome hulk self fuels green and his green is a massive nuke, Red hulk does big boy damage, Main event hulk plus purple supports and purple boosts is game over.

    I could keep going, but I don't want to go through every single 4 star. I'ts not just polaris and grocket, they are all great and myself and other 550 rosters are often running ascended 4's in pvp.

    Definitely keep going if that works. I have yet to see a 4* Ascended X-force Deadpool or X-Force Wolverine or Cyclops or Modok or Dark Beast or Karnak or Awesome Hulk of Main Event Hulk or Red Hulk in PVP. Maybe I am just lucky. I would never take any of them in over my 550 5*s. But, again, that might just be me.

    I might be playing different PVP than you. I haven't seen many ascended 4*s ever other than the ones I mentioned. Not saying they aren't good, I just don't see them.

    Oh no, haha, sorry! I never see any of them either. I use them quite a bit though.

    It's just chicken-egg, nobody uses these guys because nobody has them, but nobody has them because everyone thinks they're useless... because nobody uses them.

    I see them quite a bit. When mantis was boosted all the big whales in slice 2 ran 5 star strange paired with ascended mantis. When dark beast was boosted they all ran him with 5 star kitty and I ran him with 1a5 black widow.

    I remember when ascended were still very new one guy was absolutely dominating pvp with TA hulk and red hulk boosted together. That was the first time I realized just how powerful ascended could be.

    As EB said, many people haven't figured out and/or don't have the ascended 4 stars yet, and of course there are some guys that just run the same meta 550's forever regardless of the boost list.

    I have never, ever seen Mantis or Dark Beast in PVP. Even when boosted. Maybe we just play different slices?

    Yeah...and, well, all the big whales in s2 are my current or former alliancemates, and we still talk and share stuff like this. Then there are the s2 regulars (like BriMan) who get subjected to those teams regularly and find out just how nasty they are.

    Fwiw in the Luna launch event I ran 672 1* Juggernaut + 614 Main Event Hulk. Juggernaut had 5* Implanted Bomb and Hulk had 5* Gamma Rays (which is an insane support at lvl5 -- that effect turns the entire board green, and generates a bunch of free heals).

    I tried out Banner (also 672) but he needs to put stuff on the board, so m'Thor just zeroes him out, and that's still most of what I see. I put a 6 green AP support on Luna and every fight was just endless Unstoppable Crash until everyone was dead (sometimes there was a powerbomb in there too!).

    The costume for Luna emphasizes how bizarre the anatomy of her hip is drawn

    It doesn't stop there. The hip thing makes it look like the other leg is shorter, like she needs orthopedic shoes to even things out. And how is she even able to stand up? Both legs are straight, yet her feet are doing two different things (as if she was mid-pace). A real person would surely fall over if they attempted to pose like that. Even that Ren & Stimpy finger is irking me. I can't believe that somebody got paid for this...

    I'm a gym rat and can hold that pose for a bit, but it's awkward and painful.
