Passive: Gorgon cannot be sent Away

Noticed this in the challenge node just now. I wonder if this is a new passive that's exclusive to Gorgon, or if they plan to add it to one character in each challenge node from now on? It's certainly one way to shut down the autowin Kang combo!

    I think because he’s a “boss” maybe? It definitely cost me placement because I forgot about it and ran out of time on closing. Ah well.

    Is there a character in the next sub's challenge node that has the same passive?

    No.
    Their usual code problem.
    They can probably only set that global on a character.
    So if Gorgon is non-away somewhere, he's non-away everywhere.

    This was also an issue with Ultron in the last event. I hope they updated him too

    Someplace where you have to luck into it. Not here.

    AI has supports enabled. Someone mentioned Riri/mThor with +12 green aps at start of game. They will keep them stunned for 3 turns, and by the time they are awake, all or most of IM40's cds would be destroyed.

    Also, Hawkeye and two 3* the new grill or cupcake or whatever it’s called (I don’t know the difference) in Sim? Will be able to turn-3 beat any team (unless Chasm nerfs all).

    Was this meant for the "supports in PvE" thread? This is the "stealth Gorgon buff" thread.

    Bosses are immune to stun and airborne too, though. They also tend to show up by themselves, and Gorgon tends to show up in a team.

    Anyway this is definitely not a big deal, it's just kind of weird. I was wondering if it was part of some overall nerf to the autowin Kang team -- sounds like it's not.

    (Completely unrelated, but Kang/Hawkeye/IM40 needs a team name, and if it's something lazy like KangHawkMan I will be extraordinarily disappointed in the community (again)).

    Nooooooo, please!

    A good team/combo name describes what it does or who's in it, but as an inside joke that only means something to MPQ players. ("Charlie's Angels," "Winfinite," etc).

    This current batch of team/combo names just combines the characters' names into weird babytalk nonsense words like Hulkoye.

    Ultron can't be sent away either..also neither could 5* cap when he was a 1 man team in a node

    How about Kang's Avengers - since Hawkeye and Iron Man are both Avengers.

    Or if you like the TV show theme stuff (Charlies Angels) then we could go with 'The Away Team' as a take off of the old TV show 'The A Team'.
