Like OBW, his/her black will do “extra” damage, so the extra will proc all strike tiles on the board (unlike Vision’s
Huh, I didn’t realize they use the same phrasing. Okay, I take it back – he has one ability that’s worth a damn.
(Think again on how much he’ll heal when you run him with Daken, though. He won’t be healing with every match because the enemy team has to match the tiles to trigger the yellow. Better hope the RNG likes you!)
oops… I read the yellow wrong. Didn’t realize it was enemy matches with friendly tiles. That certainly changes things. It should still be a fun character to use, though, and I’m glad Demiurge is bringing some new design mechanics to the table.
I’m glad too that we’re starting to see some new color combos for active powers – FalCap’s the first yellow/red/, and Unknown here is the first blue/black/. More variety = better teambuilding.
Explained it in more detail on another thread. I’ll post it here:

New character opinions.
Yellow:
At 4* tier preventing 1100 damage really isn’t that much unless you want to guard against AoE attacks. Single target powers dwarf this and as such makes 3 yellow the clear cut build for the character. Use it to prevent match damage since that’s the main thing it’ll do anyways.
Blue:
Red:
Probable Build: 3/5/5
Overall:
To sum it up I don’t the ability to do massive spike damage once in a match so much prep is remotely worth it. He’s flat out slow on offense while not offering enough defensive benefits or utility strength to make him useful on defense. The AI will have no idea how to play him correctly on defense either.
So yeah, a character with potential that has niche fun uses pits him comfortably alongside Elektra, IW and Star-Lord in my opinion.
All in all , if this is Reed, they did a poor job.. If they want you to use them as a family, there would need to be rainbow synergy..
instead if you use him with Thing and IW
no purple anywhere
horrible as a team…
unless they include anyone who was ever a member
The Fantastic Four, often abbreviated as FF, is a superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 (cover-dated November 1961), helping usher in a new level of realism in the medium. It was the first superhero team created by artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby and editor/co-scripter Stan Lee, and through this title the "Marvel method" style of production came into prominence.
The four characters traditionally associated with the Fan...
and i was actually reminded, Thing is not a family member, but a friend of Reeds.

I don’t think low tier or does-not-pair well means trash tier…there’s def a trash tier of 4* but falcon has a pretty clearly defined use
Poor Invisible Woman, even the forum ignores Grant Invisibility…
oops, you are correct, an active yellow.. i will fix my post.. doesn’t change much though
It’s that team’s most reliable way of generating lots of protect tiles that can proc healing? That’s…uh…something.

He lacks direct damage and people are trying too hard to make a pure F4 team but you know what, Reed 535 + Mohawk 535 will make a god pve team. If they both are buffed even on pvp it might work, impossible for the enemy not match her attack tiles and keep healing him. And we all that the AI makes a way to fire her black almost always.

I mean, is it really the player’s fault for wanting to do what D3 is “telling” us to do(put unknown on a team with unknown’s family)?
Of course, that’s more of a discussion of D3’s design…
knowing D3, they’ll say invisible woman is fine since you can just pair her with unknown…

Using a team of 3 F4 members so that when the enemy match your special tiles you get 2 green ap doesn’t seems a good enough reason to run this team.
I’d like much more a godly interaction like XDP and WXF.
More protect tiles for each F4 member? Heals them too on yellow? Makes two black tiles that work at same time if there are other two F4 members?

It is kind of a slap in the face…
-Xpool + XVerine = good synergy
-HEY WERE A FAMILY HERES SOME AP = I guess you have more ap now?
I think the deeper issue is we need to address how crap Sue is - torch would possibly-hypothetically be fine as a 4*. Thing is in a good place.
Cap + Cap work well together. Cap + Falcon work well together. Iron Fist + luke cage work well together.
But, I’m only spitting in the wind here…D3 doesn’t change characters anymore, they just release new ones and new versions…
Just make IW’s
That removes the only active yellow, would be better to make reeds
Maybe Bagman will be a part of the “Family” so we can use his Purple. Too bad Switcheroo is the worst ability in the game! But his Snarky Remark would work well with Reed’s black.
Just in case I’m missing something… the reason people are certain this is Reeds is because ‘Family’ is used here?
Was there a hint in the update? Spoiler? Rumor he was going to be released or something?
Hint in the update, and rumor, and there’s no other hero family in the game where every existing member can benefit from generating green AP.
