At the top tier of tournaments you have a lot of people running Ragnaroks/Spideys/Thors/Storms, all who have low/relatively low AP costs. Most matches end before he'll get enough AP to use any skills. I think in order to use a mid/high AP character such as Iron Man 40, you'll need to pair him with a low-cost AP generating skill, otherwise, he'll be as worthless as X-Force Wolverine. If you want to use him solely for his yellow skill, you have to be careful because generally countdown tiles are unreliable as they can be destroyed.

I figure I want to get him to either 5/5/3 or 5/5/2 (I'd rather not increase yellow AP cost to 10, since it will then go higher than spidey's yellow...which I really don't care for on defense.) I'm still a bit on the fence about him. His yellow skill is certainly the best one. In this tourney I'm mainly just using it to feed a lvl 40 juggernaut, since the buffed headbutt does more damage for much less AP, and to feed spidey stun (an extra 4 stuns can generally mean the opponent never attacks again.) Right now, I don't think he's super great, his blue skill I used more as a novelty - fights were well in hand by the time I'd use it (I mainly use blue AP for spidey stun, so it's in high demand.) I'm putting my hopes in that he'll turn into a better long-term character. He's a 3* tank character with a high level cap (which rag does not), which should automatically make him somewhat viable. We'll see what his max stats are eventually. I suspect we're only a month or two away from large amounts of players playing exclusively maxed characters.
