akboyce said: So just to be clear a character is their own ally (Colossus negates match damage to himself) but a character is NOT their own teammate (Cyclops does not buff his own match damage with his yellow). I guess there really is no i in teammate....

It's a kind of double meaning, one a bit deeper than the other.1) He's not Dark Beast, who is blue-grey2) His metallic skin has properties of osmium (but isn't), which burns blue-grey. Since he's kind of on fire while using the Phoenix Force, interesting that his flames don't change color.

Whoever came up with this "hint" must be Reed Richards, because those double meanings are a Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch lol.

I mean, the first interpretation could apply to literally anyone besides Dark Beast. I hope the clue for the next character is just "It's not Dark Beast." This one ranks up there with the Dr. Octopus clue from a long way back.

Anon said: Everyone seems high on the match damage thing, which is nice, but Britty is still a thing.I'm not impressed.
ThaRoadWarrior said: You'll miss those 100 levels after the boost, I had the same impression of Heimdall during his run. Using his red with Shuri and Magik was doing ~110k damage, but as soon as that god-boost fell off, he's doing on a good swipe more like 45k damage. It's a significant drop. Check back in on Adam Warlock and the match damage meta after he falls out of latest, I'll be curious to hear how it's going.

Idk who said it’s better than GEDoom but I dont really see how. Colossus is gonna be in front quite a bit and those look like 2 hits and multiple hits are usually Apoc/Okoye approved. Which means he’ll do more damage than Doom with buffers. I wonder if you can target 2 tiles to remove on his blue. I hope the 2nd removal isn’t random.This really looks like one of the better tanks for people who run 4*s vs those hard nodes in pve. I already like the thought of him with Rogue and ProfX. Or with Onslaught and America Chavez. He will not be a good partner with Okoye with his match damage. With Apoc why would you fire Colossus? For 2 more AP you can do significantly more damage with those protect tiles out? In a vacuum comparing Colossus black to GED remember GED heals himself and steals black and yellow AP to accelerate His powers. He also does not need to be in front to do full damage. On an AP cost GED and Colossus will do similar damage, but when you take into consideration GED steals black and does the damage unconditionally I feel it is better. you’re gonna fire Collossus’ black because it costs almost a full match less than Apoc and it will come up sooner and you won’t have to wait 2 turns of a repeater to do the damage, which will be considerable. Doom’s black is a good nuke. Don’t get me wrong. But the conditions (9 AP vs 6AP) and drawbacks (Drain 1 green, red, and purple when firing) lean me towards giving the edge to Pete’s black.
