Things that don't make sense

in General Discussion
Why on Earth is...

Electro vulnerable to Shock?

Ditto Thor and Storm?

Colossus vulnerable to Poison?

Ditto Unstoppable Colossus?

Ghost Rider affected by Incendiary?


I'm sure there are other, similar discrepancies

    These things were already discussed a lot of times before.
    1 - Game balance
    2 - This isn't real life. This is a new and different Universe with other rules

    Physics and logics in this game are not the same as it is in real life.

    Exactly. If it were, then hawkeye wouldn't have a bone in his body unbroken after a fight with Collosus.

    Or after storm uses her third special on Howard the duck
    "Do you know what happens when a duck gets struck by lightening? The same thing that happens to a toad and everything else"
    He dead. He so dead.

    They've basically answered all this in the past. They said it was mostly due to balance, but then go on saying that there are different types of fire, electricity, etc in the marvel universe. They're pretty much trying to say Ghost rider isn't immune to incendiary because it's a different type of magic *blah blah blah*. If you ask me they're just not going to do it because they don't feel like going back and adding it into the champs.

    I'm pretty sure Colossus can be poisioned. His metal is organic.

    UC should be poison immune though because that's an added power from the Avatar of Cytorrak

    Their definition of the word "SOON" must be from a different earth as well.

    Mags shouldn't be hurt by bullets. Dr. Strange shouldn't be mostly useless. Phoenix shouldn't be completely useless.

    I agree that some things do need to be addressed from a fairly logical perspective.

    Fire resistant (20% reduction in damage) - Phoenix, Red Hulk, Dormamu, Ghost Rider
    Shock resistant - Storm, Thor (and Jane), Electro, Ironman (did anyone see Avengers? Thor charged him with it)
    A sub-category of shock resistance could be earth-based attacks against Electro (like Quake and Juggy) not causing "shock-back" damage
    Ice resistant - Iceman

    While we're at it, why aren't some champs more susceptible to certain attacks (like Magneto's magnetism against metal champs)?

    Fire prone (20% extra damage) - Groot, King Groot, Iceman
    Shock prone - Howard, antman, yellowjacket
    Bleed prone - Basically the whole Skill class, they're all humans (except moonknight who's already dead).

    Ghost Rider takes fire damage, Iceman immune to poison, A chain can make champions bleed, Iceman immune to incinerate(you can melt ice ya know?), Star Lord getting a ton of damge based on combos for no reason

    And finally, Luke Cage isn't bulletproof

    Iceman being immune to incinerate makes sense, his power is basically using water vapour around him to literally become ice. So if some of it is melted then he draws more water vapour to become ice around him. I guess technically incinerate should damage him, then he regens all the damage back, but that's just a bit picky. Iceman is a hugely powerful mutant, he isn't just a man made out of ice.
