Rebalancing within the Mystic and Mutant classes

Cosmic has done a pretty good job of putting Hyperion at the top since he is superman, after all, followed by Thor, Angela, etc. as you would expect. Science has Hulk and CA light years ahead of the Luke Cage and Spider Gwens of the world. But Mystic and Mutant are WAY off base.
Mutant - why is Iceman the god of this class? He is a gambit level mutant (who, like gambit, isn't able to use all his power). Storm is MUCH more powerful than iceman. Phoenix (who is cosmic) should be the most powerful of all, but she isn't even close.
Mystic - the most important mystic is Dr Strange, but he isn't even a top 5 mystic in this game anymore. Why is Magic more powerful than Dormammu? And why is Dr. Voodoo the most powerful mystic of all?

Yay multiple iterations of the same character
I'd say AA is the top mutant champ even tho I love iceman the most, but AA has his immunity weakness, iceman has no weaknesses technically since he has has the same thing with almost every champs in the game like if your fighting a debuff immune champ, coldsnap won't activate to stop evade, but that's a weakness almost every champ in the game has. He's a almost a perfect mutant champ, only activates md in one way...his ice armor, the only way is if you have to take a sp3 or if you didn't evade in time and got slapped in the face.
Storm definitely beats iceman in damage, but she takes less hits and can't really fight bleed or poison nodes. Iceman is all around good, definitely god tier, but not the best. I'd say AA is the top mutant champ, he can counter any champ that isn't immune to bleed or poison, but if the enemy is bleed immune you're in for a long fight.
Iceman is an alpha-level mutant. Agreed phoenix should be top, however, out of available, he is the second strongest.
And voodoo took strange's spot because kabam killed him, even if kabam made ds a lot better, voodoo's abilities would still be better. Rn voodoo is the best best mystic champ on attack, I'd say he's the best in the game if you don't count starlord's damage output.
And AA I didn't complain about since he was after all "buffed" by Apocalypse....
The biggest neglect other than Phoenix is poor Magneto.......
And I've always found that the true "potential power" people like hope summers, Franklin Richards, etc., get to be rather tedious because they are always trying to channel their power......
Man Magneto really needs an upgrade
Secondly, people here argue GR is better than Voodoo. Really? I mean really?!
Thirdly, you leave out Quake from science, end of discussion there.
Fourthly, Iceman is far from being god in mutatnt and it really depends what you base that off. Storm does more dmg but also takes way more. I would say if you were to argue who is god you have to consider there are more gods. I have almost all of them as 4* apart from Iceman, and they are by fary largest class, so:
Damage - AA. Taking down ROL WS in 100 hits says enough. And maybe X-23.
Durability - Wolvie. AQ God that can handle anything.
Control - Psylocke. If you know enough the enemy is at 0 power, speaks enough.
All around: Cable.
Defense - NC.
Most fun: Storm.
Meh: DP X-Force.
Least fun: Magneto.
Not important in any way whatsoever: White Magneto, Colosus ( now even less when thorns is gone ), OML, Cylopcses (fanboy hate incoming),
Overall - take a look at my avatar. Life steal, buff steal, power steal and most important of all: 70% debuff reduction. I rest my case. *grabs popcorn*
Hulk is finally where he needs to be and his rise to glory in the Contest gives me hope that others can still be fixed. Along with Winter Soldier, Magik, and Rhino, these are all good examples of where Kabam took a older, totally lame character and made them good - even fun to play.
Iceman is an omega level mutant. I'm fine with his power levels currently.
Hyperion should not be stronger than Thor. Thor could use a buff - maybe shock damage or shock immunity or reduced bleed time. Something. Thor is my favorite character and I maxed my 4* (sig and rank) regardless of the nerf but I do miss the old days. He used to be more fun to play. I found it very challenging to stack 3 armor breaks and do crazy damage especially since the AI is terrified of getting parried by him.
As far as Magento, I know he's lackluster these days but I still like playing him and find he still has some good utility BUT I do agree he needs a buff especially given his status in the Marvel universe. His bleed percentage needs to be higher and he should be able to (at least have a % chance) to evade metal bullets and swords.
Loki needs a buff. Not only is his buff steal bugged it doesn't steal enough things. Like why can't Loki steal Deadpool X's power gain?? Why is unstoppable now harder to steal? And why does stealing NC's evade buff do nothing?? He also is a master of illusion so he should have some kind of evade percentage.
Iceman is actually an Omega Level mutant, but I agree with everything you said.
