Okay seriously, the first thing that stood out to me immediately was how Dormammu's Aid wasn't hands-down rocking that passive list. My guess would be some people aren't divorcing the power from the character it is attached to. On it's own, it's an overwhelmingly strong ability. I reckon that may be the case for some of the other polls, but that struck me.

I'd also agree that the answers are pretty skewed by people's experience. The newer, higher-star characters are probably under-represented. I don't know if I'd agree with the person who said Quake's blue is worth being in the "best" list, as I haven't played her much (and only have three covers in that ability), but I have played her enough to find that believable. And there are several 5* abilities that got significant votes that I have no idea about. And Nova and Venom both have great yellows that didn't get many votes.

Still a nice poll tho. i agree. i basically ignored the 1*s and 5*s (other than oml yellow).
