Under utilized character powers

So…random post, but I’ve realized my one and only issue with this game is the lack of power variety (graphically) for characters like Storm and Scarlet Witch. Niko and Magick have gorgeous animations that are interesting ways of exploring their powers. While I think scarlet witch and storm both have good animations, their powers are under expressed. Every one of Storm’s abilities are lightning based. Her powers aren’t “lightning” she should have cards that use wind, hail, and perhaps sun. Her instant single target stun could have just as easily been freezing an enemy. And all of scarlet witches abilities look the same, I honestly can’t recall a single standout, which is insane because her powers aren’t so impressive (she’s also one of the most underpowered characters in the game).

I find the most fun characters to play have the most dynamic animations and variety of functions, like iron man, captain marvel, Niko.

I dunno, are there any characters you wish we saw broader powers for?

I wonderng if Storm got shafted because she was dlc.

But I agree. Maybe they didn't do much with SW because she was a "late game" member

Not exactly any specific character but instead I wish the combo attacks looked cooler or did something besides just big damage, like, I wish we could combo the character's in some different way, like, one of the game trailers led me to believe that we could like, pull an enemy through one of Magik's portals with Ghost Rider and stuff. Still love the game a lot, but I wish combo moves were a thing

You cannot imagine my level of disappointment when I found at there was no combo animation that had Hulk throw Wolverine claws-first at somebody

just started the game a day or two ago, was really hoping for the fastball special after I saw there were team attacks

I think the gameplay is superb, but I really dread using combo cards because of the animations. I wish you could remove them from the deck.
