    Lots of missing information in this but so far, doesn't look that great. Easy MThor food (At least until the mega-nerf).

    Would have been a great partner for Polaris with the special tile damage.

    I don't know.....are charged tiles considered special tiles? If they are ...isn't he going to keep her oppressed like Shaw can? Altho I guess if he's only converting one of them per turn it's not enough

    I wouldn't think so because charged tiles aren't labeled as friendly or enemy, similar to fortified. So in the meantime, MThor is destroying his Hydra tiles, Dust repeaters, and other miscellaneous team special tiles, effectively neutering him before any of them have the chance to go off.

    Charged tiles count as special tiles for G4mora.

    They count against 3* Gwen's purple power too.

    I feel like it depends how the power is coded. Charged tiles should be neutral, similar to Chasms abyss tiles. So I would imagine Gamora's power is probably coded poorly "is purple tile not equal to normal or opponents, then down them".

    Charged tiles are special tile, but I believe they are neutral special tiles.
    Red Skull cares about friendly and enemy special tiles. 4-Gamora and 3-Gwen care about any special

    I know they'll never get around to it, but they need so badly to standardize all ability text and start using keywords consistently.

    I get why they would want to tone down his outfit, but that potato sack makes him look more like a janitor than the head of HYDRA. Although, considering how many other characters have been released with terrible outfits, this is not that surprising - perhaps the inevitable $9.99 costume will be better.

    Skull always wore sacks in the Timely days ... often with these big bent cross thingies on'em........ always had a new sack every issue. Was ahead of Jason Voorhees on the fashion front by 40+yrs!

    Now that we have him, another big bad missing is this guy. Mandarin. Not the MCU version, but this one. The one that's actually fearsome.

    Ooo yes I love this idea. Could come shortly before/after a new Iron Man based on the one from the cartoon in the 90's (or at least a skin). While we're at it, whiplash, new War Machine, etc. all with the cartoon skins.

    I mean I've never been a fan of Red Skull so I was never bothered about having him but yikes have they done him dirty here. Dust of Death? More like Dust of Mild Inconvenience. Cosmic Cube - re-shape reality right? Or obtain some burst healing, I guess? Maybe he will get a Sleeper robot Support.
