Thoughts and surprises from rank 5 Hyperion

In a perfect world I would rank 2 a six star domino to use my tier 5 basic catalysts, but I don’t even have a five star domino. But I decided to start ranking up the best champs i have that I use well in an aggressive play style. Hyperion got me through 6.1 unduped. I recently duped and then took my five star Hyperion to sig 100 and was amazed how much easier it was to get huge fury stacks. So I decided to rank 5 him.
Damage - massive. Took down winter soldier in 58 hits as my best, 80 as my worst (with team of Ronan + 3 BB). Got as high as 14 furies. Hit 98k damage on a 3 hit special 2. Took 12 percent of winter soldiers health in a special 3. Minus the furies damage is much lower, but it’s easy to get them.
Healing - I was surprised to see I could heal from 62 percent all the way to 93 percent or so in one healing cycle. This is very nice toward the end of a fight and most god tier champs can’t do this.
Power gain - I just hit special 3 as early as possible for long fights and his power gain is massive for the rest of the fight.
Special 1 - a good stack of furies and you can spam sp1 and really melt the opposition very useful since almost all bleed immune champs are not incinerate immmune.
He probably is not the very best use of a tier 5 basic catalyst. But I have already found a Lot of utility out of him. There are very few uncollected matchups where Hyperion and quake are not useful. I was just surprised that the healing was so high.
Anyone else enjoy rank 5 Hyperion or are you praying for a RDT one day to put it on Corvus instead?

For fun, you can add Black Bold and either Ronan or Kamala Khan to your team for the Cosmic Supremacy synergy (increases duration of fury buffs by 30%) and also Cap IW and one of OG Thor, Gamora, or OG Captain Marvel for the Cosmic Power synergy (increases buff duration by 25% and stacks with Cosmic Supremacy). I've had 20+ fury stacks against ROL WS and the damage is just stupid at that point.
If I luck my way into a cosmic awakening gem or a dupe, I'll be happy.
I've seen suggestion of adding BB or Ronin for the extended fury duration.. but I find that adding Quake + Hawkeye + Hawkeye to the team to increase his ability accuracy, makes him a flat out god!
Everything procs more! Crits, Fury stacks, incinerate stacks.. It's easy to reach 11x or 12x fury before they start to expire, and that incinerate damage melts defenders like putting butter in a microwave!
Easily one of my favorite champs to use offensively.
