Why is Iceman not immune to cold snap even though he controls ice?
Why is Ghost Rider not.immunr to incinerate guy totally made of hellfire?
There are quite a few champs that have flaws according to Kabam.
When xoes compensation come.in after that disaster with season 13 and aw and aq miscues?
Love this game but some abilities of champs seem so.incorrect. Just a champ who enjoys the game wondering???

Another “this character should be immune to this” thread
More seriously, there's three layers of answers here. The first one is the physics one: some people think that since Iceman is "immune to cold" he should be obviously immune to cold snap. But that reasoning is flawed, specifically because of how the comics now describe Iceman's powers. Iceman doesn't "project cold" because that's 1960s nonsense: cold isn't a thing any more than dark is a thing. Iceman manipulates energy - specifically he saps kinetic energy out of matter, causing it to become cold. But since being cold is a side effect, not the actual effect, it is not certain what happens when Iceman tries to sap kinetic energy out of another Iceman. Iceman might be immune to low temperatures, but is he immune to energy manipulation? Maybe not.
The second answer is: the MCOC Battlerealm is a fully authorized Marvel alternate universe, like the Ultimates universe, say. So things work differently there. Just like in every Marvel alternate universe, many things are the same, some things are different. Not only are everyone's powers different, everyone is energized with ISO-8. That's how Elektra can defeat Dormammu. On Earth-616 that's impossible. On Battlerealm, ISO-8 rewrites the rules of combat.
The third answer is: MCOC is a game, and the needs of game balance override the need to replicate the comics perfectly.
Similarly, Ghost Rider should be immune to incinerate, but he should also be immune to bullets, knives, punches, kicks, and practically everything else we could throw at him. But that level of power wouldn't work in a game, or in the fictional universe of the Battlerealm, so the incarnation of Ghost Rider that is allowed to exist there, just like Dormammu, is only a weaker fraction of his full power in his home universe.
It's not like comic book readers haven't been having these same discussions for decades with the actual comic books. We try to logic out how things should work, then the writers throw that out the window by doing things that defy the current logic, and then the readers have to adjust to the new canon. That's just how this stuff goes.
2. Iceman is immune to cold temperatures, but I literally said that. "Iceman might be immune to low temperatures, but is he immune to energy manipulation? Maybe not."
3. The very wikipedia page you link to also backs this up, had you read that:
Passive abilities: Immune to errors, black belt world champion verbalist with Omega Tier Logic, never raises his voice.
Signature ability: Unintended Comedic Wit. For every verbal beat-down, spectators laugh and all opponents leave with their tail between their legs.
DNA, you crack me up man. Your logic is so unimpeachable that you almost come across as condescending.
Since you know, you guys alway say he is on fire
