No. 9

Firebird [Avengers Assemble 011]

She appears to start out fine with Running Shot and Probability Control and Sharpshooter with Poison. Super Senses isn’t the best defense, but it’s OK. Click 2 looks even better as the Poison and Senses tag out for Pulse Wave and Energy Shield/Deflection.

Then click 3 happens. The 10 AV drops to 9 Poison and she’s stuck with Battle Fury, making the Sharpshooter ability useless.

Click 4 is little improvement as she’s Earthbound/Neutralized — making Sharpshooting impossible AGAIN. Pulse Wave is cold comfort.

Click 5 doubles up on BOTH “penalty powers.” There’s Regeneration, but odds are she heals to one of those terrible clicks above.

Her last click brings back the Running Shot+PW+Prob combo along with Regen. So which do you choose? Fighting as long as her paltry 15 DV holds out? Or pray for more time with Regen?

It all begs the question: How the hell does a dial with this much Battle Fury AND Earthbound still run over 100 points? Unbelievable.

Filthy.
