[Invisible Martian Archer]

As far as heroes go, I love Nightcrawler because he can both teleport and wall-crawl. Dr. Strange is also cool because he can fly and teleport. My five year old son likes any of the heroes that double jump, especially Iron Man MK1 and Angel because their jumps have a little extra flair to them.

As far as cards go, I Must Break You is the most hilarious card art of them all. Seeing Colossus holding that tiny hammer is fabulous!

As far as tough bosses go, I think Mystique takes the cake. I have yet to finish that mission on Adamantium! She's brutal!

I'll just answer these for now, because they've been on my mind lately:

What's your favorite mission?
Freezer Burn. I can get adamantium while clobbering two bosses (Ymir and Surtur).

Who's the toughest boss?
Mystique. I can't figure out any way to beat her without getting killed a few times.

Who's the easiest boss?
Juggernaut. I have no problem taking him out with any hero. However, getting through the previous stage without getting killed can be very tricky...

What's your favorite zone?
Baxter Building.

Re: Juggernaut mission...

Some of those tight quarters with Sentinels and tons of support bots are brutal (especially the very last encounter), unless you backtrack and let the crushers help you out. I usually just pop in and say hi after crossing the bridge, then turn right back around and let them try to wade across the bridge. Try it out!

Mystique makes me mad. The stages leading up to her are so easy, and she is super tough, especially with a melee hero. Try her with Jean Grey...

I usually get zapped by the bots as I'm going back across the bridge, causing me to pause, then I get crushed multiple times. And/or I get bumped just enough to get crushed. Slipping between the crushers is a real trick in that last fight.

Here's how I do it... the trick is just to keep moving... hope this helps.

Who's the toughest boss?
Mystique. I can't figure out any way to beat her without getting killed a few times.

I've done it several different ways (this comes from playing her dozens and dozens of times):

1) Of course, it's much easier if you use a healer (Wolverine, Phoenix, Angel, etc.).
2) If you are using a melee hero, only attack when she transforms into another hero. A quick, strong melee hero like Shadowcat can beat her solo fairly easily.
3) When she transforms, she is vulnerable to certain attacks. Jean Grey is the best at this, because she can use her P1 to make her dance and her P2 to slow down Mystique's attacks. And with Jean's range, you can hit Mystique from across the room.
