New Character Concept: Lady Mandarin (Betsy Braddock)

Bustapup

Since we already have a Psylocke, and a captain Britain (none of which are 5*) I've gone with a 5-Star Lady Mandarin version of Betsy Braddock to represent a more powerful, darker version of my favourite character!!

Lady Mandarin (Betsy Braddock)
Rarity: 5-Star
Alignment: Villain
Affiliations: The Hand, The Mandarin, Former X-Men

Black (6 AP): Psychic Knife
Lady Mandarin channels her telepathy into a deadly blade of pure psychic energy representing to focused totality of her psychic strength 😉😉😉😉

• Active: Creates a number of Black Strike tiles, does damage and send the target away for one turn. These tiles have a base strength and a percentage bonus to their strength for each friendly Strike, Attack, or Protect tile on the board.

• Passive: When a teammate makes a Black match, Lady Mandarin deals a burst of damage to the enemy team and creates a purple Psionic Butterfly countdown tile. Whilst this tile is on the board, Lady Mandarin steals one AP in the enemy teams strongest colour at the start of her turn for each of them

Synergy: The more special tiles you have, the more powerful her Psychic Knife becomes.

Red (8 AP): Crimson Dawn
Lady Mandarin sinks into the shadows, only to reappear behind her enemies with a swift attack.

• Active: Deals a high amount of damage to a random enemy. This ability also converts a number of tiles of a chosen colour into Black tiles.

• Passive: Whenever Lady Mandarin makes a match in a different colour than the one chosen by her active ability, she has a chance to create a 2-turn Countdown tile that, when triggered, creates black tiles and does damage.

Synergy: The colour conversion element allows her to be a powerful battery for herself and her teammates

Purple (6 AP): The Mandarin's Influence
As Lady Mandarin, Betsy Braddock's mind is a weapon, twisting and controlling others to serve her will.

• Active: Choose a colour and Create a Psionic Butterfly purple countdown tile on the board. The tile grants the following:

1. While this tile is active, all other butterfly tiles are enhanced so that she steal AP from the enemy's strongest colour at the start of each of her turns in addition to the chosen colour and
2. her team benefit from increased strike tiles strength
3. Whenever another The Hand, Villain or former x-men make a match, creates 2 black tiles

• When the Purple Countdown tile expires, it creates a Fortified Protect tile and a Fortified Attack tile. The strength of these tiles is proportional to the amount of AP stolen.

• If the countdown tile is destroyed or matched, Lady Mandarin deals a significant amount of damage to the enemy team, but the Protect and Attack tiles are not created.

Synergy: This ability would be a form of AP control, with a dynamic similar to XForce wolverines Yellow: to destroy or not destroy. Do you protect the countdown tile to get the powerful fortified tiles, or do you try to match it away to deal a burst of damage?
