I know gobby and 5tony are great, but just how great? OML great or just a step up from phx? didn't vote because I have limited experience with a single, 10 cover 5*. this poll will mostly be based on hearsay and rumor (other than the original 3)

Here's how I would rank those: Top: Phx/BSS 2nd Tier: GG/IM46/OML 3rd Tier: SS Bottom: Cap But I would say that all 5 in the top two tiers are excellent. And depending on the opponent or featured character, any one of them could be the "best" for that situation. I put Phx and Spidey just slightly above the other 3 because they seem to always be one of the top 2 I take along in any fight.

In other words I can see designing a team around GG's black or IM46's red. Those do massive damage for cheap. But it seems noticeably harder to build around bss's nuke because it's a 5-match power. Or even Phoenix's green because it's hard to manage getting her to res and absorbing the self-damage. But both bss and Phoenix seem like awesome support/#2 characters. Bss to negate strikes/provide stuns, and Phoenix to provide cascades and cheap red damage.

I will say that those are the only two 3*s I use when given a choice.

I will say that those are the only two 3*s I use when given a choice. IF is still the best black battery in the game, so I think he might fit into some 4* and 5* teams as well. But yes, this has always been a game that rewards speed and offense. So it's no surprise that the best AP generators at each tier are generally considered among the best characters at their respective tiers. It's not always true (SS, Kingpin, Wasp), but it's a good rule of thumb (e.g. Switch, IF, IM40, KK, IMHB, Rulk, Cyclops, Iceman, IM46, etc)
