    Apparently Bagman's snark is strong enough that his quips can delay the explosion of grenades!

    If Emma Frost on the loading screen puts her head back in a rain storm, she could drown with that nose....

    Sometimes when I'm bored I like to do The Big Enchilada with 2*s Storm, Magneto, and Hawkeye.

    Most of the issues with new release PvPs, I don't mind, but I do get kind of tired of going "No, MPQ, I don't want that single-cover Solar Flare Team-Up either. Same as I didn't want the last 8 of them."

    Am I the only one that thinks the image of Cap Worthy (not the cover, but how he looks when you add him on a team) makes him look cross-eyed?

    Can't help but thinking about Northstar's black ability as something more tinykitty than 'Up North'. (Hint: it rhymes somewhat)

    OK, this is probably just sleep-dep induced, but it's been really amusing me to have Lockjaw as the featured character alongside Kitty, who I have the Lockheed support on. Not sure what it is about sharing a syllable like that that amuses me, but it does.
    Also, I kind of feel like, instead of Fortifying tiles, Lockheed should Lock them.

    Does Nightcrawler’s “everywhere at once” hit the enemy multiple times, like Wolfsbane or sabretooth? I was just using him on the DDQ and I’m pretty sure I somehow took out 2 enemies with it. If so, we’re all sleeping on the elf here. He could be nasty with okoye

    The 4e node of the Scotland Yard sub in the Thick as Thieves event--couldn't they have made it so the point value was anything OTHER THAN 666? I mean, 1 point up or down? Who came up with this?

    I love the display bug when you have a cascade in a wave with a bunch of enemies and take several of them out at once.
    Match-5 takes out Mindless One, Human Torch appears on screen.
    "Wolverine has arrived." (that doesn't look like Wolverine)
    "Wolverine downed!"
    "Captain Marvel has arrived." (that doesn't look like Captain Marvel either)
    Captain Marvel downed!"
    "Human Torch has arrived." (ah, there we are. finally)

    In order to try and cheer The Thing up as he was fed up sitting on the bench I took an all FF team into the Big Enchilada. He didn't fire a single power as Reed and Sue just battered everybody. Oh Ben...

    Despite taking the available match-4s, the opponent's Prof X seems to get the next available match-4 anyway. Even when denying a match-4 when there are 2 available ones when disrupting the board with another match, they get a match-4 from a cascade when making a normal match-3..

    I wonder how often it happens to other people.
    Professor X is the Match-4 King.  People are chasing him, whaling him.....he's the real deal.

    I noticed this too. I even posted it in the Prof X's thread. I'm confident that the AI's Prof X (both rarities) and Teen Jean have some extra code tagged to them to make their passive abilities trigger more often than other characters.

    Professor X is an enforcer of Murphy's Law. I've lost track of the number of times I've had runs of 4-5 fights without a single match-4+.
    On the flipside, he did let me get a couple of single-turn wins against Apocalypse, even one in round 8.

    I am probably wandering far too close to the madness of Conspiracies but I also noticed a pattern whilst using Jean in Apocalypse - against Poccy she was almost guaranteed at least that he would get a Match-5 which of course was almost completely useless on every turn it happened (I think maybe 1 time all his Horsemen were gone and he took damage). In one fight he hit 3 Match 5's in a row. Yet on her side node I don't remember the AI making a single match 5 or cascade into match 5...hmm...

    Professor X must be a mess during this run of Meet R&G. He's gotta go up against his step-brother, adopted sister and his ex-boyfriend. OK, I'm not sure if there's actually a continuity where all of those are canon, but MPQ mixes and matches continuities anyhow.

    Wow. After a few runs of SCL10 PvE, PvP matches seem like they go so fast. Never thought I'd hit the point where 5-digit health pools on the opposing team felt like an easy match.

    Shout out to Mr. Fantastic -  having him boosted for Venom Bomb with his Master of the Fantastic passive had been a lot of fun, free powers galore!

    I love Symbiote Snare Team-ups. Not when I get them, but when the AI has one. It feels like I just got to cancel out an enemy power for free!

    I still hate Venom with all my might because of the pre-nerfed version of Symbiote snare (full team stun for 7 purple). The sound effect of that power makes me angry.
