The thing I like about him and might want to see in other characters, is him GIVING AP when using an ability. It adds an extra layer of strategy, not only when you are using him but also if you are facing him. If all characters behaved like this (where there is a negative consequence for your action), it would make people think more about their team composition in how to capitalize on it. ---

His yellow looks nasty – 225 damage at power level 2/L6. By comparison, Wolverine’s red and Thor’s yellow both do 250 at L6, so assuming there’s another bump in damage as you level up the power, you could be looking at something similar or higher at max level, but cheaper in cost. Might be the best yellow power in the game when all is said and done. Obviously we’ll need more information, but at first blush 3/5/5 would be how I’d go. Giving the opponent green when everyone runs Wolverine is asking for trouble. ---

From a preliminary look, it seems like 3/5/5 will be his ideal build for most teams. I’m pretty sure going from 3\>5 in green only reduces the AP cost by 1, and that’s not too relevant since it drains your green anyway. His red and yellow are both way more damaging and have great synergy with each other. ---

Looks like the debugged rag, said it was for “balance” and then said they are about to “balance” wolvie Thor and spidey. Then they put out a 2\* who’s crazy awesome and looks to be more OP than the 3\*'s. Obviously D3P are very good at bullkittying you and they are about to make a nice chunk of change from ares. I got my refund like 2 weeks ago for most of the time I played. (I still have like $50 left in which is more than a lot so I can still b\*tch). Now I just play like an hour a day without spending $$$ and I still get better rewards than when I was playing 8 hours a day and not spending. Lol ---

Full descriptions of power levels are up on [the wiki](http://marvelpuzzlequest.wikia.com/wiki/Ares_(Dark_Avengers)). Thinking probably 4/4/5 is better than 3/5/5, since getting to cast green for 5 instead of 6 is not a big deal, and going to 4 red you get a pretty decent bump in damage. But 5 yellow…wow. ---

All his ability does insane damage because every one of them has some kind of (often significant) drawback. He’s not going to be alive for long on the offense, but maybe you don’t care because the enemy team is dead. He’d actually be quite intimidating on defense in general, since against each unique player you got 100% of his health to burn, similar to how Juggernaut always has full HPs to Headbutt people on defense.
