entrailbucket said: The comparison to Apocalypse is not favorable. Their red powers both cost 7. Apocalypse does 4 low damage (but boostable) hits that always ignore protect tiles. Ultron does one hit of slightly more damage that can conditionally ignore protect tiles and reduction powers. How many characters even have passive damage reduction for enemy powers? Just SW and PX? It's way too narrow of an advantage for a huge difference in damage.

You have older characters that are significantly better across the board in every power. Who determines which characters are gonna be insanely better than the others and for what reason? And I've heard the argument that they slip up and release one occasionally that is better than they planned. I don't buy it. Apocalypse is the prime example. His black with 4 protects on the board does nearly 50k damage for just 7 AP. And he has a way to create those protects. A way that also further boosts his teams attacks. You don't accidentally give one character the ability to do outright unassisted 50k damage and another 8k for the same cost. As you mentioned his Red does 4 hits for a total of 16k damage and it ignores protects with no stipulations. When boosted each of those 4 hits are boosted. Which means not only is this power for a character that is 18 months old already outright hitting harder for the same cost but when boosted its hitting 4x harder. And he can considerably boost it himself. I get that they can't all be great. But when there is such a huge gap between characters it makes the ones that aren't DOA.

entrailbucket said: Oh, I forgot: I have no idea why they think "drain/destroy the enemy's strongest color AP" is ever useful. It's almost always strictly worse than "drain/destroy random color AP" because *all the good characters have passives or bad abilities on their strongest color*.Seriously, if you're going to keep giving that to us, start making characters who actually care about their strongest color.

Can only think of one truly decent ap drain, 3 star she hulk
