Forgetting about synergies or my roster, just wondering who people would use their Cats on to take to R5? Both champs are awakened with similar amounts of stones.
Silver surfer also has Triple immunities + Evade counter + can tank SP3.
However, Iceman just has it without needing to do anything, while Surfer needs to get buffs up to get access to being an evade counter and get two armor up buffs to tank SP3.
Iceman is the easier champion, and Surfer is harder to use.
My vote is Surfer though, as the things he does seem to have more use long term - the new nodes/champions Kabam is putting out requires buffs, debuffs, armor breaks, or incinerate/shock immunity.
I honestly thought SS would whitewash this vote with the vibe I get from other players, so I've got to say I'm a little shocked. It's such a hard decision, and I know that no matter which way I go, I will eventually come to a fight and think 'I wish I had maxed out the other champ'! I've had and used Iceman for years now since he got released, so at the minute I feel more comfortable and confident using him. To that degree Iceman is definitely easier to use. When I've entered some of the monthly fights recently with the R4 SS, one's that benefit his immunities, he feels incredibly powerful. When I get it right and not make mistakes, as I'm still trying to perfect his style, I feel like he is amazingly powerful. That's not a feeling I've ever got from Iceman to be honest. I think I'm going to see what happens over cyber weekend, or maybe wait until the next monthly quests come out, and make a decision then. I'm still no nearer to making up my mind! lol

The only reason I would pick surfer over him is for prestige or if your mutant class is too stacked
