Nevermind.
I'm guessing this weekend is the time to buy a hero if I can. I was thinking of buying 2100g and picking up Storm and a 900G hero and then some stash space with leftovers. I don't know who I should grab, I currently have a high 30s Scarlet Witch and a couple of level 1 melee heroes. I'm am looking for a change (but still ranged I guess?). I was thinking either Cable or a photonics Ms. Marvel. Which of those is better/more different from the SW (and I guess Storm is similar to SW) playstyle?

moon knight, knew nothing about the character before playing him and now i love the crazy dude

it also helps that he has the best single target damage in the game.

Lazy answer, but probably Taskmaster. I went in knowing nothing about the character other than 'he copies stuff' and he turned out to be a really awesome character mechanically on top of having great costumes and voice acting.

Mine is Moon Knight for the same reasons. I'm almost to purple 60 now with him.

Nightcrawler was my first random box character and I was pretty bummed about it, because I wasn't interested in him in the comics. He turned out to be ridiculously fun and the only character I've actually put effort into endgame gearing. Moon Knight was the other one that I got, went ehhh, then started up story mode and punched out Shocker in like five hits. He's just so gratifying to play.

Ms. Marvel will always be my favorite, but I knew she would be before I started playing her. :pervert:

EDIT: Hell yeah Moon Knight Krew represent

Panterwoman.

I usually play ARPGs in a stand-back-and-spam style, avoiding melee characters/abilities. I got her from random hero box and after making it to 60, I bought the enhanced outfit during a BOGO months back. Even red prestiged her. Tons of fun to dash around like the Flash Quicksilver destroying everything on screen. I wish her energy melee basic was better than the physical one since it looks cooler and that her mines can be laid in more places, but other than that, I'm not sure there's anything to complain about.

Black Widow. I bought her last summer alongside Ms Marvel and Wolverine, since I had to use my extra G's on something and she was cheap. Here I am a year later, using her as my 'main', even if everyone else seems to think she's totally terrible.

Following that, Daredevil. I think he's a big nerd in dorky pajamas but drat did his review make him fun to play.

Had to literally force myself to play Invisimom and Daredevil. Just wanted that sweet synergy boost. They're so much fun I barely play my "main" (Emma) at all now.

Going the opposite way, for super-hyped characters that I just don't enjoy even though they're really good: Mr. Strange, Ph.D., Taxmaster.

I imagine it's like the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where all the Nazis' faces melt.

I have a feeling that BL will still be better in any real world situation. You have to stand reeeally close to get the secondary arc from Electrocute (even standing at the door in the training room is too far) and adds will eat it everywhere except raids anyway. BL will still light up the whole room even from a distance. The real damage difference seems negligible. Still unsure if the new Windreaver Pendant is better than a 800/800 Doc Ock for BL though (doubt it).

Also it's not like you have enough points to pick up all three (LC, an aoe and Electrocute) unless you're going to rely only on CH and LS for aoe. I kinda want to max Healing Winds now too, 3500 dodge and a ton of health regen sounds pretty nice.
