What champ do you use who’s not widely regarded as good?

By this I mean a champ that you use a lot, not just one you enjoy using in arena or one you play with just to see how it works. For me, it’s Yondu and Red Skull. I don’t use RS that much anymore, but he used to be one of my mains, and the only reason I stopped using him was because I got Yondu and Ghost. Yondu is a champ that I use currently on my main team and I actually use him over Ghost consistently. He’s amazing and I don’t know why he’s so completely underrated. What about you? What odd champ choices have you made?

For me it's Winter Soldier. He was my MVP for exploring Act 5. Obviously using 5* KM synergy with him. He doesn't get a ton of use now though because I have better options at R5 now.
Ok, to be fair, my usual questing team is:
5* R4 Ghost.
3* maxed Wasp
5* R3 Ant-man
and 2 others depending on situation:
(4* Hood, 4* Cpt America (IW), 5* Iceman .. etc)
However, on some nodes where I don't want to risk Ghost (I'm getting better at her, but not THAT good yet) .. I'll use Ant-man .. and DAMN, is that boi tanky ..
Love him, going to R4 him when I get a min ..
I still use him in AQ and quests on daily basis.
BP inflicts crazy amount of bleed, aspecially when duped - paired with deep wounds he is one of my top damage dealers. Nothing else special about him - just most likely the best bleeder in the game with no other utility. Still definitely above average.
2. Hawkeye - same as above - these champs aren't considered super good because they are super old, their mechanics are simple and they don't have as much complicated utility as new guys, but I can appreciate simplicty as long as it's powerful and in this case it definitely is. Hawkeye is somewhat fragile but his sp1 actually gives you best power control in the game + he can inflict bleed (even more when duped) and shock - enough for me to R4 the 5* version and use him practically everywhere. He is definitely above average.
3. Captain Marvel - classic - I was using Miss Marvel version a while ago but ranked her down around 12.x as I had better options back there and never brought her back. Recently I pulled a 6* version of classic one however so I started playing with her again. She is not super useful but she is poison immune and hits hard when you save power + her 2nd special is decent... As a 6* - usable for questing/poison paths if you don't have better options, but nothing more. I really miss her sig though - it would make her useful against energy-hitting champs. She is average at best but I still use her as I don't have too many 6*/5*R4 options.
4. The Hood - at this point he is considered average at best but I really enjoy playing him and he might become my next 4/55 unless I pull a better mystic. He is good for defence too.
That's probably all for now but there are other characters that I used to use a lot in the past:
5.IM/SIM/IP - I used to bring all 3 to the AQ and they allowed me to survive through whole quest with no big skill - I still love these guys and would probably r4 a duped 5* instantly - it only sucks IP loses armor during regen but his L2 stun is handy
6. Ultron - in theory he is better than the iron family - still regens, but also has double immunity and stun + don't even need to be duped. But I never felt 100% comfortable with him so placed him somewhat lower.
7. UC - unstoppable was very useful back then when I had absolutely no skill + he is bleed immune - I remember thinking of him as of my top champ and fighting for r4 in alliance events. It was a 3* version! Now I have a duped 5* and use him for defence.
8. Daredevil (classic) - he is pretty low in tier lists but his unique ability to dodge everything can be very useful in some fights if you are not super skilled.
9. WW2 - remember he was a god? he can still stun and inflict a lot of bleed and his block proficiency is also unique - he did not really get worse but other changes (new champs that are better, new content that requires different stuff) made him less useful.

To answer the question though, Luke Cage. I love the indestructible and his stun lock is incredibly helpful for enemies that you want to push to SP2.
I do like to use Cap Marvel/Hulk/Ultron in AQ for fun just because of some nostalgia using the champs way back in the day. I have better options but since they sit at R4 from gems I’ll take one of them into AQ usually every round just because I can.
Also I use my trash 6* for fun sometimes in uncollected so rocket/BB/rhino/cable/cap ww2 see some face time. 6* mags is so painful and boring to use though he sits firmly where he belongs.
As for Red Skull, Corvus wrecks him because all you have to do is parry his first hit and boom he has 6 armor breaks and no armor. Then he melts. I have too much fun beating him up sometimes.

Alas, limited utility keeps him on the bench most of the time but I feel he does bat above his class when using him in arena compared to some more appreciated champions.
