I figure this might help newcomers out since it’s took me a while to figure out what some of the abbreviations mean. Feel free to post others and I’ll try to keep the first post updated.
General Terms
MPQ = Marvel Puzzle Quest
AP = ability points
PVP = Player vs Player
PVE = Player vs Environment
MMR = Match Maker Ranking
RNG = Random Number Generator
OP = Overpowered (could also refer to Original Poster)
nerf = reduce in effectiveness
buff = increase in effectiveness
tank = lose on purpose to lower your MMR. Could also mean a character whose purpose on your team is absorbing damage
squishy = low hit points
battery = character that is capable of producing AP quickly
AoE = Area of Effect
IGN = In Game Name
tinykitty = word filter created to replace curse words
Intergalactic Space Vessel = kitch-en (word filter created for random posts about buying Fitted Kitch-en sinks. The hyphen is so I could type the word)
Intergalactic Space Fleet = kitch-ens (word filter created for random posts about buying Fitted Kitch-en sinks. The hyphen is so I could type the word)
Lazy = term used to describe a 3* Gold character that is a direct copy of their lower * level version. Community say the devs were too lazy to build a proper character with different abilities, hence the term lazy.
bots/goons/mooks = Non-superhero PVE characters that do not match tiles (e.g. Hammer Soldier, Maggia Thug)
TU = Team Up
TUAP = Team Up Ability Point
CC = Cupcake
LT = Legendary Token
CP = Command Point
