I’ll be honest. Comics-wise, I have very little sentimental for this character. I saw him once in the Inferno storyline that I happened to be reading only because it featured my beloved Illyana Rasputin. What I actually care about is that super Enhancement for 25 points. Do I need say more? He’s a prime, yes. And no, he can’t be carried in most cases because of his Wing symbol and no, he can’t carry others. But he’s bumping adjacent friendly characters’ attack, range and damage up for just those 25 points. There have already been many occasions where this decimated opponents and other than his being a prime and lacking several keywords, he’s not hard to fit on a team at all. In fact, if you don’t have a prime on your non-theme team, go for it.

He starts with 18 defense and Toughness so that at least  he can avoid getting too easily one shotted. But his sweet spot is on click 2: He gains Sidestep. Ever had a good enhancer with Sidestep? It’s like a drug, it’s so good. Given that Enhancement and Empower are my favorite powers in the game, it’s no wonder I’m so excited about what this piece brings to the table.
