With boosts, has a trivial win by turn 4. 2. Devil Dinosaur. Highest Health, not bad damage. 3. Blade. Lots of Strike Tiles. 4. Colossus. Okay AOE Attack, half-decent defense. 5. Ms. Marvel. 2* character through and through 6. Doctor Octopus. Only his Passive is interesting. Overpriced powers.

Magneto (Marvel Now), -4 Theme song: You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban)You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up to walk on stormy seas; I am strong when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up to more than I can be. Another surprising drop, this time for MMN, who got a big boost from the buff to mHawkeye in that he now has two strong partners instead of just one (CStorm). When taken on his own, he's really weak -- both of his direct damage powers, blue and red, are expensive and countdown-based, so are both slow and unreliable, although red is quite strong if you can get the AP for it. Purple is pretty good on it's own, as you can almost always create one critical tile and usually get two, plus you get a horde of blue AP. But it's his synergy with other characters that really causes MMN to shine -- he's a real asset as a blue AP battery in both PVP and PVE. Blue has a number of outlets at the 2* level: there's CStorm, of course, and now also Daken, and while Hawkeye's blue is pretty bad, Speed Shot is awesome and becomes a reliable damage dealer with Polarity Shift, so MMN should see even more play at the 2* level. There aren't nearly as many useful blue abilities once you start transitioning, though -- Captain America and Daken are about it since you can't use MMN and CMags together. Blue: poor Purple: excellent Red: fair Speed: low Sustainability: low Power: medium Recommended build: 3/5/5 -- blue is horrifically slow and should almost never be used since you always should be looking to pair MMN with a better blue user. Keep in mind, too, that since you're using him primarily for his purple, an underleveled MMN is totally fine; I wouldn't fault anyone for running a 0/5/5 (to prevent blue from ever firing on defense), 2/5/4 (make red a little bit faster at the expense of power), or anything in between.

Yes, it requires a lot of babysitting, so in PvP it's not really suitable. But how many 3* rosters carry M.Mags into PvP either? Depending on the board, you could even get it off against an opponent who has flooded the board with strike, attack, or protect tiles. Does this change M.Mags ranking? Not in the least.

Probably an average of the votes per based on where each person ranked them. Let's say 3 people voted Deadpool as 10th, 15th & 17th 10 + 15 + 17 = 42 then divide by 3 ~> 14 points ~ so depending on the range of high/low votes for an individual character you would expect Deadpool to rank somewhere near 14th. This tabulation method probably also helps to decide on tiers when scores are bunched together.

I bet most people don't try to time polarity shift right either to scoop up tons of other AP with just the right placements either.
