What are your personal top 5 underrated champions?

I know that you've seen a bunch of these underrated posts but I wanted to take my own spin on it. In my opinion, my top 5 most underrated champions are as followed:

1. Korg - Karatemike helped open my eyes with his recent Korg video and now that I've looked at his kit... he seems like a beast! I'm really inclined to upgrade my awakened 5* Korg now! Bleed/Shock immune, rock stack shield, unstoppable/unblockable, etc...
2. Psylocke - I've always liked Psylocke's amazing power control and very decent aar... but with Apocalypse, she becomes an entirely new heavy hitter! Her specials can hit extremely hard, her crit rate is insane, and her heavy attack with enough charges can end fights. I like her sp2 ability that kinda mimics Magik's sp2 as well.
3. Dormammu - Dormammu has always had an amazing kit... but his damage has usually been seen as lackluster. I think that Immortal Hulk really fixes that by giving him 75% increased attack at max dark energy. After a sp3 he can constantly be at max dark energy, and even regenerate health! Another thing I'm curious about is his synergy with Mephisto... since Surfer has 35% energy resistance at 1.1k rating, would 80% energy resistance give Dorm 2.5k rating? If so, that's higher than Havok so please could someone maybe test this? Double immunity and top tier power control too on top of that!
4.Mephisto - Mephisto is a champion that's always getting new synergies with mystics but not given enough attention. This guy has three immunities and can regenerate health with a cheat death mechanic! That in itself is freaking amazing! His incinerates can tick quite hard when paired with a team of mystics too. (SS and GR) I personally don't like Champion but he does benefit from that synergy too. Immortal Hulk and Hela's synergies sound pretty interesting for refreshing his passive buff prevention.
5. Hela - I see a lot of hate for Hela that she's all numbers and no utility, but I think that's unfair because damage is what she's best at if you think about it. She has the potential to have the hardest hitting attacks in the game if used properly. She could end fights before utility becomes a problem, especially if she's the last one alive on the team. Hela does need a bit of skill and ramp up time but if you time her heavies right she can be a beast! (Also she synergies well with 3 of the above which is pretty cool)

Honorable Mentions:
1. Immortal Hulk - Fun to play but needs mastery to use for maximum damage output and ability to start the next fight at full health
2. Rogue - So good... horseman and professor x barely affect her. Power control, debuff shrugging, life/buff stealing queen!
3. King Groot - Synergies have really made this guy so good for questing! Seriously impressed having ranked up my 6* king groot.

1. Immortal Hulk- Absolute god tier beast
2. Platinumpool- actually very good
3. Sasquatch- sp2 with even 5 ruptures is amazing
4. Dragon man- sp2 cycle against the corner is insane.
5. Ghost- not actually as bad as people say.

Here are my resources for those of you are curious with some of my points. A Youtuber named Ankit Sharma has some really nice Immortal Hulk gameplay that changed my perspective of him and Swedeah shows Rogue:

I really like Ronin tbh. His aar is actually pretty decent and his damage is nice. Great debuff shrug mechanic too and he is pretty fluid with his moveset.

Tiger360

Do you mean ghost as in difficulty? I don’t think any player who knows what they’re talking about thinks ghost is bad

Masterpuff

He has some mediocre damage too

Those were some sick bleed stacks! I wish I had a 6* ronin but I can settle for my 5*.

Crcrcrc

That last one was a joke because I ran out of ideas. And I can’t learn to play Ghost at all, so partially yes.

ShinobiGuy

Punisher 2099.
No power for the enemy, high damage for you.
Great when they have difficult specials.

Mr_Platypus

Please explain what makes immortal hulk a beast?
I’ve been using him for AQ this week and he’s just not good, can only get the damage ramped up if you happen to have an SP2 right at the end of the unblockable period at the end of the end of the immortality.
Maybe it’s easier with less passive AI but I see absolutely no situation where he’d even be a top 5 option.

Crcrcrc

In no way is he a top 5 champ, but I think he is a top 5 science. He is awful in AQ because the AI is super passive, but you only need about 8 rage stacks to do crazy damage. You also need to try and end the fight after Immortality expires without taking additional direct damage. That makes him a high skill champion. You can backdraft to keep his rage up with no damage, and sp1 cycle is much better than sp2.

IceBro

You got some of the points... but I don't think he's necessarily a top 5 science, but probably a top 10 science champ. His playstyle's revolved around three things: special attacks, intercepts, or parry stuns. You need any three of these things to reset or pause your rage duration. His most optimal rotation involves reaching your sp2 with at least 4 or 6 rage stacks, getting a parry stun off, and heavy attacking into the sp2 to double your rage stacks. Then you'd want to immediately throw a heavy after the sp2 and do a 5-hit combo. After that you are likely unblockable and you just keep on smashing until another sp2. You should've ended the fight by now at 95% hp. Intercepts also work if you don't want to take any damage but you gotta usually interrupt your combo to keep the timer up.

With the Dorm synergy his petrify, weakness, and random stuns will be up most of the fight which is nice. What some may not know is that if you throw any special besides your sp3, your rage charges will be reset... even if you hit into the opponents block which may come in clutch. And as soon as you see the random stun... you end you combo and start a new one like gwenpool.

I don't want to rank them 1-5, but the 5 that I think are the most underrated are:

Red Hulk
Ronin
Old Man Logan
Nebula
Bishop

I'm not including any new champs because so many don't have them yet/ Having said that, I think Guardian will challenge (and pass) Warlock and G2099 as the second best tech champ in the game!

H3t3r

Voodoo
Heimdell
Manthing
Modok
Rogue

Crcrcrc

I didn’t realize there was enough time for a heavy and a combo after sp2. Thanks.

IceBro

Bishop is definitely underrated. I decided to max out my Bishop just in case any energy nodes or abilities would trouble me and he has definitely surpassed my expectations. Nebula is another one that has very powerful application if played right. She can kill act 6 health pools with 1 sp2 and heal from mistakes which is awesome! Double immunity and shuts down robots too.

DrZola

1. Luke Cage
2. Ronin
3. King Groot
4. Carnage
5. Dr. Voodoo

I include Voodoo because he’s mostly forgotten among the flashy new mystics. But he can control fights like few champs have ever been able to do.

Dr. Zola

Mr_Platypus

Right Ok so exactly as I was using him.
Ok, guess I’ll just break him out when I fancy a challenge on occasions then.

Agent_X_zzz

1. Rogue
2. Mephisto
3. Loki
4. Doctor Octopus
5. Jane Foster

IceBro

Loki is one of those champions that doesn't seem very good on paper but has some really interesting uses with his curse mechanic and help of the Hela synergy. It's so satisfying getting the passive stun and following up with a heavy!

Texas_11

Immortal hulk, I’m still on the fence about even with maximum rotation

Agent_X_zzz

Yeah he has some good uses, to make him alot better, I wish his passive stuns were guarenteed somehow, like if you finish a 5 hit combo with a light it has 100% chance to passive stun the defender, or his sp1 has a 100% chance to refresh the curse debuff.

1. Killmonger. So many players can’t see past his damage. It’s perfectly serviceable and with his arednwla of utility absolutely justifiable

2. Emma Frost. So. Much. Utility. 10 immunities, evade counter, extremely sustainable, access to power sting, taunt and a 50% concussion, as well as a wee bit of power manipulation. And of course, prowess. Some niche utility, but a lot that is very, very useful. Most players just don’t know how to properly utilise her

3. Storm X. I mean she’s basically flimsy havok. SP3 rotation takes her to new levels, especially with suicides. Consistent 160k SP3’s after the first one

4. Psylocke. One of the best power controllers in game. She doesn’t deal with passive power gain, but she can lockdown combat power rate the entire fight. Once again people can’t look past the damage. She could do with a bit more but she’s still very potent

5. Rogue. Regen, power control, buff control (even if it could do with a tune up) and very high debuff resistance. This is a champ I’ve only started playing around with recently but she can do a lot. Once again it seems the community’s fascination with big yellow numbers is a hindrance

If you couldn’t tell, these are all champs with amazing utility, but somewhat lacking damage (aside from Emma). I value utility so much higher than big yellow numbers. I don’t care how quickly someone can do a fight, if they can’t actually do the fight

Texas_11

^^ appreciate the list, my Emma is close to making R3 I didn’t put her on mine because I didn’t think she was underrated

Rockypantherx

I mean, I think she’s fairly easily a top 5 mutant. If I pulled the 6*, I would take her to R3 in an instant without hesitation

1. Symbiote Supreme
2. Old Man Logan
3. Red Hulk
4. Mephisto
5. Moon Knight
