Who? Who else but Immortal Abomination. With the release of the new featured, many people are pulling IBomb only to leave him on the bench! Absurd! Perhaps him being released alongside Mortal Hulk may have influenced their thoughts on the guy and immediately ruling him out. But unlike Mortal Hulk who deals a lot of damage (to himself), IBomb is actually really good and is definitely a top science champion. With the help of @Monke , I've put together a few things he's really good out to enlighten those leaving him on the bench.
For starters, IBomb is extremely sustainable and tanky. He inflicts poisons to himself, which he is immune to, granting him constant regeneration with the Will Power mastery. Each poison also grants him additional physical resistance. While he has a poison on himself, he will also place a weakness debuffs on the opponent, reducing their attack by 30% for 2 seconds. These weaknesses stack, allowing him to block tricky specials like Punisher, War Machine etc and take little to no damage. All this on top of his large health pool
Now onto his damage, and boy does he have damage! After applying ten poisons to the opponent, they will convert into an Acid Burn passive dealing direct damage. While Acid Burn is active, all of iBombs attacks are unblockable and deal physical damage. This gives him better openings to attack and compliment his aggressive play style. As his main source of damage is through Dot effects, it makes him a great option for nodes such as Safeguard, Rage etc and bypasses physical and energy resistance. For longer matches, Acid Burn can tick for ridiculous amounts. His ramp up is certainly worth the squeeze. You just watch the health melt away, even in shorter to midrange matches.
His easy access to debuffs make him viable for Diss Track and really shines on Poison Vulnerability paths. He is broken on the cavalier science node. Those hefty amount of poisons he's able to inflict reduce healing, further enhanced by the Despair mastery and his Petrify that can go as high as 80%!
Against poison immune match ups, he sucks. But with the current meta where you have your Things, Sasquatches, Magnetos, Sinisters, Victor Von Dooms, he absolutely destroys them. No surprise he's being used in high tier war to devastate these defenders. With synergies, he can get and armour break for those Emma Frosts and anywhere amour break is applicable.
I may have left some stuff out, so if you are experienced with iBomb, please share them below! I don't know how long this, but if you've made it this far you deserve a cookie. Once again thanks to @Monke for helping out.
And remember, don't sleep on Immortal Abomination, sleep on your beds instead.

Use iAbom, he is beast. And beautiful
I forgot to mention he is pretty suicide friendly with his constant healing and immunity to poison.
