Is CAIW still a good champ ?

He was one of my top champs that got me to Thronebreaker but since I only a five star I haven’t had much use of him especially since I became Paragon. But now I got lucky and pulled a six star Cap . Is he still worth the investment ?

His damage is really decent (and doesn't require Dupe), with -100% defensive Ability accuracy and Bleed on SP1 and a big burst of damage on his SP2.
His double-hit Heavy is ideal for Heavy counters, and has a surprisingly long range.
Also, really handy ability to Nullify Unstoppable, which helps in plenty of situations - just don't use him against Mr Negative or Overseer.
Plus he's still the swiss army knife of mcoc with max sig.
Get that high sig you won't regret it.
If you care about questing then he has amazing flexibility in utility at max sig, but these days I find it unnecessary as there's plenty of champs now that can cover that role and I'd primarily use him for damage/meat shield purposes only these days.
He soloed the entirety of the science quest in TB EQ this month.
He's the single best option for Human Torch mini-boss in AQ Map 5 as well (w/ skill & tech synergies). Just parry heavy your way to SP3 (don't use SP2 or you'll burn to death). The Hurtful Measures buff will help as well, as it will apply taunt on every parry, ensuring Torch never gets to SP3. Even when taking both Torch minis, my CAIW regularly finishes AQ with full health.
