I am going to take Dr. Strange to SP3 every time just to watch the animation..

The J. Jonah thing felt like such a copy of Luther building a suit to fight Superman.

It’s garbage. Spiderman was an “amazing” superhero. And diminishing it by having a newspaper editor build a suit to fight a hero?

Makes no sense and when comics went off the rails.

Originally he didn't pilot the suit, he paid Spencer Smythe (the OG designer) to design the suits, and they acted more like Sentinel robots, more than mech suits.
But this also works in game, so

I am wondering if he will still have his passive power gain, or will they change it to power steal

You’d think so but he inflicts a lot of shocks, unless he is fully neuroshock immune and his shocks gain increased potency to handle shock resistance like Onslaught’s, I’m already kinda disappointed if I’m being honest because Nimrod will be better for basically every match other than Onslaught.

We could be getting more Neuroshock immune champs in 2026, I am surprised we didn't get more in 2025 besides Maker

I mean yeah that's nice but unless they also give his shocks 300% potency or something I don't see him being that good because he would be a worse Maker and again, Nimrod will be superior in every way. At this point, we need more than just neuroshock immunity

True forgot the shocks as his damage source. Thats pretty buns

Btw ive heard from many players that nimrod was strongly overhyped, that without arms race , he wont finish mutants like jean or britain in 1 sp2

I was doing friendlies with my alliance teammates against Jean and finally managed to get things to line up perfectly to where she was under a bar and yes you definitely want to go sp1 sp2 cause sp2 alone isn't enough but it's still a 45 sec fight. Britain I haven't had a chance to try but I knew from the beginning with how Nimrod's cowardice works that it would be a very tough fight to pull off unless you got perfect AI and Britain throws her sp1s when you need her to. I don't think I'd call him overhyped because he does handle everything other than Onslaught and Britain very reliably and Dust and Bishop fell off a while ago but yeah he's not this insane nuke that's just a win button against any mutant anymore.

Strange ready to reclaim the throne. Design looks fire, waiting for the kit reveal to give the final judgment, but it really feels like Kabam new about the expectations and they are gonna deliver a top champ
