    The thing that makes 4 Jugg godlike is that he was enhanced / “given” a hammer etc by Odin’s brother The Serpent (a fear entity) and gained/absorbed/whatevs the essence of one of the Serpent’s seven generals, Kuurth, breaker of stone.

    The Cytorrek gem/power is not the godlike part.

    They're pretty inconsistent on who is godlike. Onslaught and Legion are weird ones to me but also if anyone wielding mjolnir is godlike and 5* Carnage (prophet of knull) can have that title so should any Juggs and spirit of Vengeance.

    It gets more confusing when you look at Worthy Cap who wields Mjolnir but doesn't turn into a version of Thor. I remember one theory about the spell on Mjolnir being shaped by a persons self belief - so Cap already has an unshakeable faith in his own identity but others did not (Jane/Bill, etc) and were looking for something more so they become transformed. Does this mean that Worthy Cap is Godlike? Dunno, Endgame and the comic books that I have read don't really specify, possibly it gets explained somewhere.

    The gem of cytorak allows cytorak the lord of oblivion and a god of destruction to grant his power to whomever possesses it. Without the asgard powers, jugg already has the power of a god.

    And when jugg had the asgardian powers Cytorak was so miffed that juggs had a different gods power he took it back and gave it to Collosus.

    This should mean that technically so is Dr. Strange who can call forth the "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak" along with other divine entities (the Vishanti). It is all very confusing to me.

    Cyttorak is the correct spelling BTW- I googled it coz I wasn't sure either, lol!

    The spelling of the C-word is literally Dr Strange’s Blue power…

    As for Howie D, the only irritating thing about enemy Howard in his pvp was his immunity to stun. Granted, most of them were low-level 1/1/1. He’s one of those you’ll want at lv550 and tanking literally everything to maximise his momentum. Who knows, he might just resurrect halfThor! Anyone remember him?

    Or you can just use Howard/Surfer/Moon Knight Hydra Stomper against Chasm I guess /shrug/

    Fair point.

    I mean it’s comics? I guess I’d say he was literally basically a god when he was possessed by Kuurth vs having power a god gave him that he uses for whatever purposes he wants normally.

    Also the affiliations tend to be a bit illogical.

    Why isn’t juggerduck a non-human affiliation?

    Yep, and this was totally fine for the game's entire history, right up until supports started mattering.

    Now, the guy with the stacking match damage boost can't use the good match damage supports, or the random pile of goodstuff support, which takes a pretty big chunk out of his value.

    I feel like at some point affiliations became more about certain power interactions than actual connections for the characters.

    15% chance to get 5* Howard the Duck (Juggerduck), 5* Venomsaurus Rex (Brockiosaurus), and 5* Spider-Man (Peter Parker). Additional Tokens can be purchased for 25 Command Points

    I just noticed, Hevo is in this store rather than spidey. Makes it a better store for me.

    Yeah, I spent in that store to get my Juggerduck champed. Ended up with 15 extra levels on HEVO and 10 on Venomsaurus. That's a win for me!

    Out of curiosity, about how much CP did this take for you?

    Apologies for not remembering exact answer but it was about 7500 or so, I believe.

    Kind of annoying that his feeder is a limited character. Someone please tell me he isn't a limited character as well. I have 9 covers for him (2 of which are in shards) but if he isn't going to rotate into LL eventually or be favorite-able who knows how long it will take me to get him ready for championing hahaha.

    There are no limited 5s. He’ll rotate into Latests just like all the others do. In his case it’ll be in about 17 days, on May 1. He’ll be favorite-able then.

    Yep, we were worried about 5* Deadpool when he showed up, but he was just like everyone else. A limited 5* would be very weird (although the limited 4* are also very weird!).
