Then again, you just need to bring another red/blue user like Cap or 4hor and then you don't have any drawbacks. This IM has not only made Cap the best 3, it has probably propulsed 4hor to the top7!!! IM Battery, then 4hor blue, then charged tiles and stun, then more batteries, then more charged tiles and another stun, then some reds just to finish everybody . Far better than LCap because they both feed each other! 4hor charging yellow so you can cast battery with maybe even just one yellow match! I may even champion 4hor and IM before RHulk or Cyclops !!! PS: Well, 4hor, IM40, Rhulk is a very good team, really really good, so maybe I will put some iso into Rhulk too PS: And now they are reworking him, they could also change the art/name for the new armor/model, this way it would be easier to explain the change from totally lame to really awesome

X-Force Wolverine went from being a piece of garbage to the best character in the game. I don't think anybody else has ever been buffed to this degree.

The next turn it's 1. If there isn't another red user, you are more likely to be facing down a huge smack of red the next time he's online. I still think his blue needs to come down a tad in AP cost, but since he can self charge, it's probably fine at 16. I can say though that this is at least tied if not "the" best yellow skill in the game. The other being Venom's yellow, because that one is awesome.

Like, worst case scenario I can imagine is "Iceman" becomes the new "Fistbuster" and nobody has THAT good of synergy with IM40.

Iron Man can in theory boost multiple colors for way more powers than IF. Now IF is a better character overall, but IM40's yellow may end up being a devastating battery for giving AP to multiple powers so fast. The only thing that could hold it back is the randomness of countdown tiles so that may make him not as good as it initially appears.
