Underrated Champions

I couldn't find a thread about this so I figured I would start one. What champ/s do you like to use and that you use effectively that are considered low-tier. An example for me is Old Man Logan. Since the 12.0 update he was significantly improved. He regenerates 70 health per second, significantly reduces bleed damage (bleed time reduced 85%) and when he stacks his pacifism charges or goes berserk he can do a ton of damage! I like that his regeneration isn't dependent on power bar or is only triggered when you attack or get hit so you can take it slow if you choose and still regenerate health. Oh yeah, I also like that you can control when he causes bleed so if you come against someone like Cable you could still use whereas the other wolverine characters would trigger degeneration too much. I think he is an extremely underrated champion and I use him a lot. What underrated champion do you use?

I think he is underrated as an attacker, but mostly in the sense that I think he is an above average attacker when his reputation is below average. If his fury didn't evaporate so fast, he could climb up to be an excellent attacker.
Beast - Switching between his Freestyle (bonus damage) and Acrobat (regen) modes makes him quite useful. Plus he's bleed-resistant like OML.
Howard - He's just fun to fight with. His heavy and SP2 are very effective against evade champs.
Hood - His invisibility helps with incoming damage control and can run almost constant stagger to prevent AI buffs.
Punisher - Dude hits crazy hard and his specials have some of the best bleeds in the game. If awakened he can survive a KO punch.
Black Bolt is also pretty decent but it's time for them to drop the sp2 recoil. Really considering taking him to rank 5 but that factor makes him useless to me for challenging stuff.
Actually like Joe Fixit too despite his need for a significant rework.
Iron Patriot is pretty boring but can get the job done I guess. Still miserable every time I land one.
Plus his S1 is fun. It would be nice if he had a Giant attack for his S3 like Dormammu, but maybe he'll finally get that upgrade when his next movie comes out (and presumably, Kabam brings out Wasp).
just use sp1 and use regen before end fight to fill up health
Dr. Zola
Sp1 nullifies 1 buff converting to regen and causing a really good bleed on par w/ Caps sp2
Sp2 Heal block plus bleed
High heath (tank), decent attack and has a far swipe back for such a big champ.
I agree with you on pretty much everything except Luke Cage. Thank you for sharing though!
If his base attack was higher, he'd be a lot more popular.
What do you like about She Hulk?
@LeNoirFaineant YES the special 2 is so amazing. my 3 star does over 10k damage sometimes and i don't even have most of the crit masteries. i love nightcrawler and never understood why people dont use him to attack.
Some people don't like to use (high chance) auto-evading champs like Spiderman and Nightcrawler on attack because an auto-evade at the wrong time can mess up their timing. You can actually evade out of (what would have been) a parry, for example.
Its great against stun immune and great to pit them against each other (NC vs Spiderman can be a fun fight) but in general it can be disruptive to have evades triggering all over the place.
