The best part about today’s 4* DDQ was that I love the Cyke / Wolvie grudge-match (let’s just talk about that for now). And under other circumstances I love to see Wolvie KO’d by Full Blast. It was still fun here, I just prefer to be on the other side of that match-up.
One of the best things in my opinion is that both characters share similar colors:
Wolverine:
Cyclops:
So you can gather needed AP and still deny your opponent to do that.
You have to fight for you color and prevent enemy to gather his.
This forces you to think carefully about every move.
In my opinion future duels should be organized in the same way.
So Nick Fury is the next 4* to fight - who do you think will be his opponent?
Maybe Steve Rogers?
Reed versus Doom.
Xavier versus Magneto.
CapFalc versus Steve Rogers.
Thoress versus lazy Thor.
Carnage versus Spider-Man.
Star-Lord versus Grocket/Gamora.
Fury versus Mystique (spy versus spy?). Or possibly Gorgon.
Jean is a tough one. Juggernaut or Patch maybe? Possibly Scarlet Witch.
Thing vs the Hulk is also a “thing” in the Marvel Universe (no pun intended.) We may well see that. Kingpin vs Daredevil definitley, Carnage vs either Spider Man or Venom. Nick is an interesting questions, since there’s no Hydra in the game - I know less about him than his his Dad. Dunno about Sue or Jean Grey
It doesn’t seem impossible for Professor X to be matched against Juggernaut. They did have an epic story in the early days of the comics. And Jugg’s all-opponents attack might get through Prof X’s invisibility shield whereas 3* Magneto can maybe get locked out by it.
most of those pairings are correct (lore-wise), assuming that the node will always present a 4* against a lvl 270 3*.
More options would be available if the tier of the opponent can change (and I believe that this could be the case for Fury already, if the organization Ice talked about is The Hand), including (scaled) 1* (amazing spider-man vs kingpin… come on!), 2*(we could have carnage vs venom, for example) or 4* .
