He sounds fun but a bit chaotic to be honest, will probably need ascending. Maybe Crystal would be a good partner?

One thing not in question is that costume - hideous, the worst thing I've seen since Wonderman and his green and red monstrosity from the 80s. I may actually be forced to buy a costume if (hah!) there is one.

What are you talking about? He's not even in costume. This is what all British people wear as their day to day clothes

It is? I never even knew that! No wonder I stood out from the crowd as a lad with my lack of shiny helmet and I never realised I had to wear my Strictly Come Dancing costume in the streets! It all makes sense now - look at that sweet dance move he is pulling off in two of those screenshots, he should have been called Captain Night Fever!

F4 movie incoming, and we get "THIS"??????, where in hell are the torches and pitchforks!!!!!!

There's no pitchfork in F4, you're crazy!

As for the 4, he looks fine, could be interesting. People keep talking about true heal, but does burst heal count for his %? Like...if my 3-5magik (who gets smacked around a lot) is at 10%, and Avalon is at 100% when I swap, now magik is full healed and avalon's at 10%. If he then burst heals back up to 90 and swaps again, does go to 90 or does it not count the burst? If I swap a few times like that at the end of a match, will either be basically full hp?

Since it says health percentage I don't think it matters how you have your health (true/burst) only the percentage.

So in your examples, your Magik would go to 100% health and Avalon to 10%. Later if he swaps again at 90% then Magik would go to 90% and Avalon to whatever she was.

Now what's not specified is whether the swap also preserves the health types. So on the 2nd swap when he is at 90% from 10% true and 80% burst does Magik now get 90% true or does it preserve the types so she is 10/80 like he was. My guess is the latter but we won't know till get gets into the game.

Conspiracy theorist hat on, does that yellow not work on the old engine and has that forced a rush to finish the unity rollout?

It's good to have a new character in the game that I recognise and the first dozen responses aren't "Who?" "Well according to their wiki..."

I'd like him to work well with his sister but it's a shame they only cover 4 colours between them. Still it's possible that their combined protect tile placement could do something, I guess?

Interesting tidbit, I recall that way, way back at the start of the character (in the 70s or 80s?) Brian Braddock became Captain Britain because Merlin offered him the choice of the Sword of Might or the Amulet of Right. He chose the latter, so he was transformed into Captain Britain, heroic protector yadda yadda. It was implied that was the right, peaceful choice.

I'm guessing he got the option to revisit that choice more recently?

Oof, bland art. Remember texture? Looks like a few layers were omitted, leaving Mr. Braddock in a wet suit. A wet suit that isn't wet. Ready for his swim competition!

And, no that I will ever see his animations, but, from the post above, two of the ability animations appear to be the same, but with different affects applied? Recycling?

Grumble, grumble.

I knew if I waited we would have to get a feeder for this eventual 5 star beauty

It sounds like he is really going to need characters that damage themselves or their teammates. Jug1 is an obvious choice....health drain with red, burst heal.

OML could be good too but I really wanted him to have synergies with Captain Britain and/or Psylocke

Otherwise, the creation of protect tiles and healing is going to mitigate the damage so much it's going to make his red useless?

I think he hides at the back and then switches his 100% health with the true healing tank (OML needs a buff...) right? Then burst heals himself and repeats. AoE damage weakens his concept though, I think.

Hmmm
Avalon, OML and Electro for Omega red Teams?

I'm actually wearing this right now, yes

Great, now I'm thinking about you wearing that.

It's like this but with the Avalon Suit, right?
