Vision
Magik
Lower tier:
Psylocke
Civil warrior
SW (RNG)
Spider Gwen
Gwenpool
Dr. Voodo
And Quake should have a special mention I think
Also, Dormammu.
Magik
Vision
Doc Oc
Dorm
DV
Quake would be on there but against a Hyperion she will get owned. But besides that she’s amazing even though she technically does do anything with their power. She just doesn’t give them any since no contact.
2. Doctor Octopus
3. Dormammu
4. Hawkeye
5. Vision (both)
Dorm - you can spam MM to never give the opponent a bar of power ever even if thet have 100% power gain or something unless they have outside power gain like Hype but you can still lock him down.
Magik - By far the most effective and easy to use power control once you get to a SP2
Voodoo - SP3 and SP2 are VERY effective for power control and if you have points in MD it can be even more effective to spam.
Warlock - New contender that can perma power lock like Dorm, Magik and Ock
Doc Ock - Infinite power lock sounds nice yeah?
Honorable Mentions:
Vision(s) - They would be top 5 but AOU is only a 4 star and the OG one is crazy rare and hard to get.
Hawkeye - SP1 spam that can be used to great effect in V1 and AW and deals some damage once they can bleed.
Rogue - Never mentioned yet her SP2 can be used over and over to drain power easily.
Psylock - Her whole game is power control but she's like 1% away from being like the best in game. Her lack of gaining power as fast as normal champs is unnecessary and her specials most of the times don't drain enough to put the enemy on 0 power and if they have any form of power gain she's not very good.
Winter Soldier - It's honestly a handy ability to have and with Taskmaster, it's surprisingly effective.
Champs like Spider Gwen, Hulk Rags and Gwenpool don't have power control like the others as their enervate only stops power gain from attacking them. Tho it's still useful to have.
If she gained power on the same rate, I believe she’d be somewhat op
Best (in no particular order):
Dr. Voodoo
Vision (OG)
Magik
Dormammu
Hawkeye
I left Age of Ultron Vision out because he gains power in a smaller rate than OG Vision, due to his lack of Synthesis
She sucks. Plain and simple. Not going to rehash all the reasons as it is pretty well documented, but she can’t power control champs that have power gain, only regular champs not champs you actually need power control for. You have to bait specials (2 SP1s or an SP2) meaning she sucks for nodes you need power control for like AON.
She’s hot garbage, pretty much totally worthless and poorly designed. Who makes a power control champ that can only be used in vanilla fights and not any fights that you actually need power control?
Remove her low power gain and her giving opponent power when hit and she may become decent, but will still suck in fights where you actually need power control. In addition to the above put her SP1 as draining 1 full bar of power and she would probably be good!
Accumulating her charges is pretty goddamn easy and can deal devastating damage once you detonate them on her Heavy Attack.
Even against champs with passive power gain, she has uses: she can spam her SP1 almost indefinitely.
You clearly have no idea how Psylocke works. If she power drains an opponent and they lose from a bar of power, she instantly regains her SP1. If they are fully power-drained, she basically shuts their power gain of being hit through the rest of the match. While this passive enervate is on, her SP2 instantly gives her a bar of power and power locks the opponent.
She’s a well thought underrated character.
Other than that, the best for me are:
Magik
Dormammu
Doctor Voodoo
Doc Ock (look at Seatin's most recent video on him for best results)
Warlock and
Either Vision at Max sig.
(I know this is technically 7, but they're all tied in my opinion.)
Honorable mentions go to:
Hawkeye
Psylocke and
IMIW
2:psylocke
3:doc oc
4:dr voodoo
5:hawkeye
He is permanent on my AQ team and don’t forget bleed and poison immune.
Special-1: Drop the opponent across a Power Threshold, and you Power Gain back to a full bar.
Special-2: If this hits the opponent, Psylocke gains a full bar of Power.
If she didn't have an offensive Power reduction, she'd be a monster. Seriously, you should try her before you hate on her.
