Anybody else see the Joaquin Torres store offer?

At first glance when my rewards popped up, I thought his shard thumbnail looked like Judo Master from Peacemaker...

The crossover no-one expected😂

New support: Flaming Hot Cheetos

I haven't seen anybody talk about the actual character yet, which is funny but not unexpected ("I MUST have all the retro rewards I'm owed for this character which I will never look at").

Seems like he's meant to be a Sam/Juggernaut counter, but I think he's not very good at that. The special tile reduction ability is what jumps out first, but I think it's actually kind of useless against that team. Sure you can reduce the strength of some of their strikes, but they're going to make 2 million new ones every turn, so it's not going to help much.

He can go airborne a lot, and pretty easily. We've got a bunch of these guys now, so I'd probably try to use him in a "we all fly away forever" team to create maximum annoyance on defense. There aren't any good counters to airborne right now, so everybody will just have to sit around doing nothing while all your dudes flap around.

I think his red is sneaky good. The numbers at 450 aren't impressive, but I think they'll scale well, and when he's high level + boosted it'll build up quickly. It also doesn't reset when you cast it, just reduces by a small amount.

The problem will be generating red AP for him while everybody is flying around, but Ikaris can do that by making matches, and 4* Vulture's black actually generates a small amount of red for some reason, so I'd probably start there.

I tried him with Sam and Juggs. I thought maybe his yellow could be interesting. Did not really notice anything. Needs more testing.
