5* Awakening Gem - To use or Not to use

Help! I have a 4* Iceman at 5/50, awakened, sig somewhere around 25. As luck would have it, shortly after taking him to 5/50... I pulled a 5* version thank I then took to rank 3. I also earned a 5* mutant awakening gem from infinity dust... which leads to my question:
Do I use the mutant 5* awakening gem on Iceman? Between generic and mutant stones, I could pump him up to somewhere around sig 100 if I did. I'm just not sure if it's worth having a r5 4* and a r3 5*, as I believe that puts them pretty close in overall health/power/etc.

Save it for Sabretooth or Bishop. At 5* Iceman’s sig ability is only good for fighting evade champs in AW, doing legends runs (r5 max sig ability), or unavoidable damage on AW defense (r5 max sig ability). He doesn’t gain enough compared to other 5* mutant champs to be awakened.
Kind of where my thoughts were going as well. I'm sure I'd drop the awakening gem on him, then pull Archangel immediately after. Or something to that effect.
Unless you put him on AW Defense. Then the cold snap comes in extra handy.
I've been putting the 4* 5/50 on defense in AW. Been using the 5* r3 for questing.
If y'all ain't got anything useful to day dont say it he obviously should save it for Colossus
@V1PER1987 - Thanks. Believe I'll just hang on to it. Would be different if I didn't just r5 that 4* version and awaken him. So frustrating you can't more easily take champs down and push the resources upwards. Kabam 101 I guess. If by the time I have resources to take 5* Iceman to r4, and I'm still sitting on the gem... I'll revisit using it.
Kabam 101 is pretty much what happened to you. As soon as you invest those resources and rank up a lower tier version, you get that champ at the higher tier.
Don't awaken him for rank 3. Only use a 5* awakening gem when you are ready to take to r4. Especially since you have the 4*. I wouldn't hesitate to awaken him at 4/55 though.
For me it works backwards. I get the 4* rank to 2/20. Immediately get the 3* and wait till the level up event.
The nice thing about Iceman's Signature ability is that with auto coldsnap you will destroy oponents that evade
I have the same set up and no the 5* is much more powerful, just look at the stats, in menu, plus 5* has the longer lasting and its always good to have to strong characters .
He is a killer on offense.
His bleed, poison, neurotoxin does huge amounts of damage.
And when all 3 kick in, I play defensive and let the enemy slowly die.
Especially since you already have a powerful 4* Iceman.
