Its not that simple. He isn’t a bad champ, I would say he is a little above average. He is a part of one of the strongest synergies in the game tho so he is an alright champ to pull (in my opinion at least)
He is not bad IMO. Other than the synergies, his L2 is sometimes tricky to evade. I guess it depends on how advanced you are. If I was overflowing with cats, I might take him to R3 so he can still do a little damage when he's along for the ride on a synergy team. But otherwise, he's meh.
The reason most champs are considered trash is due to t2a. If you can't ever rank them past r3 then they are essentially just 4 stars with a different border.
If there was something in the game that canceled every champs signature ability he would be ok.
His awakened ability is near useless. Can't remember the last time I lost more than 30% of my health to a single source.
Wasn't he the original deathproof before GP and Iceman? I'm liking him on defense for the node that only lets you do special damage since they won't be able to one shot him there. He also gets unblockable s2 from that node. Magnetism can screw up people in other ways on defense too, so he's not completely useless aside from synergy.

He WAS good as part of the PB team. He WAS good when willpower had multiple stacks on the same rebuff in war with his heal block. He WAS good before his sp1 was nerfed.
NOW he has some niche roles for some players but is a complete waste of precious upgrade components.
And defense? Have you learned nothing about ranking champs just for defense after the big war change?? Lmao
He's straight average, his damage is very mediocre and doesn't have abilities that make him excel in any situation. He has a decent heal block and damage block but there are lots of better heal block champions, damage dealers and power control/damage cap champions
I have my 5* duped at sig 60 and every time I pull him I feel like visiting kabam HQ and smashing my phone on kabam's CEO's face!
I hope that answers your question.
He can lower ability accuracy because of his Magnetism passive, and when awakened he can survive special 3's and etc. He also does all energy damage on his auto attacks which helps bypass resistances on certain champions and he has a good synergy with the X-Men team (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm).
I wouldn't rank 4 him, but there are worse champions you could pull.
It sucks when 5* shards are hard to get by regular play for regular folk and you end up with someone less than awesome but you'll be disappointed more often than not anyway so don't worry too much.
I see a lot of comments on his synergies. I thought synergies are basically worthless now with how little they boost the team since the 12.0 update.
Plus, why bring a champ on your team if you have no intention of using them? I'd rather have 5 reliable champs instead of 2 or 3 with a 5% boost to their armor...

I pulled a 5* Iron Patriot yesterday.
Spider Gwen was my previous 5* pull.

...and take anger management classes.
^^^same thing happened when I pulled my Iron Pee

I'm missing something. Please explain.
