If it IS the Hulk I want to see the one story where the Hulk Smashes and kills the Hulkbuster player, but the Hulk does enough self-damage to knock himself out, giving the player a double-KO Victory.
That’d be awesome to live through when the stakes are that high.
My 2,2,4 HB is going to make a 270 Hulk very angry, then HB will be busted to pieces by thunder claps. Too bad Hulk does not smash after he gets angry, that would be cool.
The Hulk at 270 would fold to Hulkbuster like a house of cards. I’m not sure who it’ll be, but Stax has a pretty good suggestion here:
Another good possibility would be someone with a decent stun ability.
Remember, IceIX said the opponents ranged from 2* to 4*, there’s no rule that it has to be a 3*.
Iron Fist could be another interesting one. With no black user to deplete his AP, his 5 AP purple turns from a cascade into a cheap megapunch at level 270. And his attack tile would probably be doing over 500 points a turn from the very start.
I agree with She-Hulk.
Hulkbuster is designed to take down Hulk. Having him as the target makes little sense. He’s not, however, designed to take down She Hulk. She can turn around his strike tiles and improve them; she can constantly drain him with green; if you’re creating red matches, she can grab them for board shakeup and damage.
She seems like a good 3* fit if they don’t just do the obvious Iceman fight.
: It’s actually already announced in the “Upcomming in September” thread. It’ll be Kamala Kahn.
my 3 cover buster is ready. way more ready than my 2 cover invisible woman, my no cover nick fury (he didn’t show up) and my current best 4 cover x-force wolverine.
maybe can we think about switching up how this one is done???
Yeah KK is the 3* of that day. She wouldn’t make much sense as a HB opponent, eother thematically or game-wise.
I think She-Hulk or Ice-Man are good guesses. I wouldn’t completely count out Hulk yet either, especially since that fight won’t be a pushover either. Casual overdrive use will lead to Anger cascades of doom, and if you’re saving up black/red for a one turn kill, you still have to survive in the meantime.
