Halfway through 5.2: My thoughts so far

So, just beat the Joe Fixit boss of 5.2.3, and I decided to share my thoughts.
So one and a half weeks ago, I decided I’d finally finish 5.1.6 and move on into 5.2. And I did (screw you, cable!) and went straight into 5.2.
The Team:
5/50 Domino
5/50 Hyperion, Sig Level 60
4/55 Quake
4/40 Sentinel, Sig Level 20
And then either
3/45 Namor
4/40 Stealth Spidey
or 5/43 Ægon, Sig Level 97 (Four Star)
5.1.1: Weird Science
Global Node: Power Shield
This one was very fun and easy, went through it in one attempt with Hyperion and Quake. Domino also did major SP 2 damage while lucky.
5.2.2: Strange Bedfellows
Global Node: Power Shield (again)
This one was harder, and I made a joke post about my struggles that no one seemed to actually read. Most of it was easy after I realized the Hyperion’s Special 1 might give me more benefit than his Special 2. The thing that really held me back was the Iceman, everything else was straight forward.
5.2.3: The Don
Global Node: Buffet
I didn’t really mind the global, I minded the 2 Power Start local node on my path of choice. The Phoenix was easy when I brought in Namor, then I quaked the Storm, the Quake, the Unstoppable Colossus, and the Spider-Gwen.
For reasons I have yet too comprehend, I decided to try my first attempt on the Joe Fixit boss with Hyperion, just to put in some damage. This is what happened:

He had 2% health left. This actually made the fight really fun, and it was my first time having fun in the chapter.
Next up: I attempt to cheese masochism with Sabretooth. I will probably fail.
