How to beat IF/HB?

I really want to like Cage/Hood, but my Cage is 552, so black is barely usable, and they overlap - and while I don't think Rainbow is a big deal, them having the exact same active colors turns them both to just 'passive hogs', with the third wheel having to carry the active load (is there even a green/red/blue? Maybe Deadpool with Red/Purple/black?).

it isn't a defensive team for sure - AI screws it up royally, but boosted cage with fist as a feeder and an automatic ap stealer in your own hands... here cage was the workhorse being boosted and hood supported passively and fist supported actively. found myself preferring dumping black to regen it with fist (depending on board) rather than attacking with fist's purple. covered/boosted black on cage was over 7K on second/third cast and yellow was well over 10K (don't remember exactly). oh, and up until last week I thought fist cage teams were so hard to fight - AI screws them up constantly (will not save black) and the only real danger is yellow, along with fist's attack tile. that is why in simulator I prefer running fist with Cyclops (can't wait until I finish panther - his black is more rare than any of the **** covers in the game I think). Cyclops forces fist to save up at least enough black for a nuke, even if its real worth is conditional on the red on the board, its better than fist being a battery for separate single castings of cage's black.
