She's a pillar of the current meta, she punishes the AI for playing the game, and her purple brings most opponents down enough that a single-target nuke should be able to at the very least cripple them (which is why she's such a good partner with Cyke and HB.) There's no substitute for Jean. Thing is good, but he's niche. Whale Jean.

I fight JeanBusters all the time, but when I run into a XPool/Thing team my thought is always a defeated "Ugh, I really don't feel like dealing with that..." and they often get skipped if not worth 65+ points. I'd rather fight a OML/SS team because win or lose I know it will be over quickly! edit: To clarify, I don't think Thing is better than JG. It's a matter of what she would add to your roster that isn't already there, and I don't really think she adds as much as Thing would. edit2: Thanks so much for making this thread. I have IMHB, Rulk, XFW maxed with XPool at 250. My next 270s were going to be Iceman, JG, Carnage, Thing. But now I think I'm going to go with Thing after Iceman instead. The thought of being just another JeanBuster in PvP doesn't appeal to me.
