Sentry's old green used to do team damage and be good. 3* Hulk's black does team damage and enables Hulk Bombing & Hulk/KK/Mohawk to do their thing. ...otherwise, it's a pretty short list. Yeah, I guess my real point was more along the lines of "why is this a thing"? I just don't get the thought process behind adding a self damaging aspect to a power that's not OP to begin with (also looking at you Banner, Phoenix... that's in addition to direct damage to your team from other powers). I know the damage is trivial, but can't come up for an argument as to why it's needed...ever... Banner helps my kitty beat teams that dont make their own specials. I applaud your ingenuity . I never even thought about that. Learn something new ever day. I guess you can use Banner with Fatpin too Your next mission is to figure out how to use 5* Wasp

AlexR said: Shield Training with him was tinykitty frustrating--- but I didn't come away way with "he's useless". He felt like he could actually be quite interesting ...in a different team. In THIS team? PAIRED WITH PEGGY? Someone was feeling seriously sadistic. Like, I was feeling like the game was trying to make a philosophical statement about the futility of life by deleting your blue anytime you get close to Peggy's blue. It kinda goes back to my prior post. Blue is a very valuable colour for many characters-- so you can't just slap him on any random team, because chances are, this will happen: You can't use your best colour in favour of yellow, which we have very few good active users of in the tier. ...but on the other hand! With a constant stream of blue, he was constantly stunning the opponent. I can see a use for that, you just gotta actually put him on a team that does not need blue. Maybe run him on a Vulture team? Idk, would need to experiement more, but I'd still rate him above Talos and Emma Frost. Maybe he'll end up like 4* BW where I just needed some time to find a good synergy-based team that can work with what he can bring to the table.

Maybe he'll end up like 4* BW where I just needed some time to find a good synergy-based team that can work with what he can bring to the table. When he's boosted, he works extremely well with the Spider-Verse characters, especially Miles and Iron Spider, as neither actively uses blue. I need more covers in his powers before I'm totally won over, but he is winning me over as a nice pairing for that team if I need a little more rainbow coverage with more random stunning.
I'd like to see his yellow CD become fortified, and have it also create some Blue tiles when it triggers. Seven or so.
Also, adding a passive to purple that makes him (or his whole team) turn invisible for a few turns at the start of the battle would widen his usage potential considerably. Even just 2 turns of team invisibility would be a promising buffer against early enemy cascades (esp. with say, Jugoye or Gritty).
