Anyone having success with AW Bosses OTHER than the usual suspects?

So, typically you will see these AW bosses:

Magik
Modok
Mephisto
Dormammu
OG Spiderman
Medusa (Newer)
Juggernaut (Not as much anymore).

But, is anyone finding a great deal of success with Champs other than these as AW bosses? Maybe someone new??

    Yup. YONDU on high left mini boss node with unblockable sp2 wreaks some great havoc.
    I've also seen a high ranked GG be a huge pain in the butt.

    I think UC is much better than what people think if you have 5/5 MD.

    But to be honest the best AW bosses right now are the ones that can't be easily countered by blade or magik.

    Blade is SO OP. Try him as war boss.

    ... and let me know what happens.

    Void as a boss can be a pain as well.

    Yondu for 53 unblockable L2.
    GG for stun immune or even healing node. Alternatively any L1 unblockable.

    Medusa is a mean old lady as a boss. Once she gets those furies then the auto blocking wreaks a lot of havoc.

    But then really, you are pinpointing Blade. Void is still a pretty good boss , other than the usual suspects, he does auto damage if the fight goes on. Between Magik and Void, mostly void gets us more kills.

    Still looking for a good alternative to main Boss (not subs) myself. Blade and Magik basically wreck most people, and a Magik with high MD can probably (unsure) keep up with L1s on Medusa to keep her Furies down, but I have not had the chance to try it.

    I mean there's only so much you can do. Good players will go through your bosses anyways.

    Put your best up and hope the opponent gets wrecked on the way.

    I've been having good results with Iceman as Boss. Free damage and you can't bleed him.

    IceMan is easy, all you have to do is survive the Coldsnap and have some health for blocking, he isn't hard to fight. We will probably try Medusa at some point, see what happens.

    Faced a Morningstar mini recently and although I beat her with Blade she bled the **** out of me. I'm wondering if she would be hard enough as main boss. I don't have one high enough to try.
    Has anyone tried Stark Spidey as main boss? Just curious.

    Medusa isn't all that ..,and using magik there's no need to spam l1 ,. Auto block will push you into limbo

    Basically, the main boss just needs to be good enough to not be taken down with links still up, and still log a couple of KO's on their own. Once most of the big allies are at the main boss, they're going to get them down.

    If your hope is to shut down the other ally, you have to focus more on the mini-bosses and line placements so the links to the main boss remain in place.

    We still mostly see the usual suspects: Magik, Spidey, NC, Juggy, Dorm, MODOK, etc.

    We've gotten a couple of kills out of Medusa as a main boss, but all you need to do is control her fury stack (nullify/stagger) and her auto-block goes away.
