2

Is he going to be a feeder?

3

He’s a heroic monster associated with living and mortality. I know who I reckon he’s feeding.

4

Looks really good. Black is a direct Polaris counter.

Please tell me there’s a connection to Hulk…

5

He seems more of an anti-Polaris, and maybe anti-Throg, depending on what kind special tiles he acts on.

6

Looks fun and I LOVE the art! cheap powers, Polaris and Medusa counter, true heal… Yes, please

7

Nice. Love the art too, glad they went classic comic book with it. He sounds decent but not anything major. Good addition.
if he’s a feeder, I could mayyybe see some surface level way to connect him with Sinister, since they are both pale and working towards weird science in their own ways.

we’ve had worse connections, so maybe, hopefully.
Edit: oh just saw the iHulk feeder speculation. I’d be happy with that too

8

Beast Age of Apocalpyse in notes…

Copy paste error. :slight_smile:

9

Yes, he can be a real asset against Medusa/Polaris teams ! Interesting !

10

I was nervous about the art before I clicked, but that art is straight fire. Major kudos to whoever worked on that.

I like the power set. I wish he was a five. This is a legit specials killer.

11

Match 1 special and remove 3 more? This guy is going to suck (pun intended) when he shows up in a PvE challenge node. Worst challenge node ever: 5* Carnage + 4* Morbius + 5* Black Widow?

I’m assuming that removing a special tile doesn’t count as destroying it (thus BRB gets no AP), but please tell me if I’m wrong here.

At first blush I’m running him at 5/3/5 vs special tile makers and 3/5/5 vs non.

12

If special tiles isn’t limited to asd tiles, then he totally neuters most minions too.

13

He sounds pretty solid.

While i’m tired of seeing boring 5star, the recent 4s have been so awesome. It really feels like they’re trying to create a 4andahalf tier with some of these releases.

14

He’s going to totally wreck the Polaris meta (esp in Sim) with his Black and his other powers are super cheap too.
Like others, I wonder what counts as a special tile (CD’s, traps, invis etc).
Might be fun to run him with Sabretooth (no overlap) and double dip when matching enemy strikes.

15

He’s not just wrecking the Polaris meta. He is going to hurt the BRBitty and Gritty meta also. One match of an enemy special tile with full black, three more are gone and Kitty isn’t boosting anything and then she is easy picking. This will be very interesting to see unfold.

16

Oh man. If Morbius and Sabertooth make PvP Polaris irrelevant then I better work on my Karnak sooner rather than later

17

Other characters treat repeaters and CDs as special tiles along with SAP, but usually not stuff like Eye of Agomatto or Checkov’s Gun. Also web tiles and charge tiles don’t usually count.

18

Another good 4 star to shake up game play a bit. Looking forward to this one, and I’d stake the odds of being a IH Feeder or Sinister as definitely a welcome and fitting addition.

19

It would be interesting seeing a Beast vs Morbius match. Morbius matches away one of your special tiles, and removes another three as well, but then Beast counters by giving you three shiny new protect tiles.

20

Actually Beast only gives new tiles for ones that are matched away. The extra ones removed by Morbius Black won’t be replaced.
