I really enjoy fighting Unstoppable characters with my Cap IW, but I'm struggling to find out if he can actually bypass passive Unstoppable, I can't this information anywhere.

    If he is kinetically charged, he can nullify one unstoppable BUFF. (Yeah it sucks that it isn’t passive too, since pretty much everything except juggernaut and UC is passive

    Night Thrasher had an unstoppable attack this EQ. CAIW couldnt stop that.

    Yep, as others have mentioned here, he can Nullify Unstoppable Buffs on hit when he has at least one Kinetic Potential charge. Hope that helps clear things up!

    As far as passive unstoppable there are various nodes that grant this(like brawl)

    Actually there's a few, including everyone in the Trial of Fire quest this month (Brawl node).

    Also:
    • Anyone on a Heavy-handed node.
    • Rhino (dash attack)
    • Kingpin (hvy attack)
    • Ghulk SMASH!
    • Killmonger (Counterpunch)

    Also Korg. His Unstoppable is passive. Don’t try to intercept with CAIW. You will be punished.

    Which is silly imo. Passive buffs are just a way for Kabam to making older champs less useful imo. Like IMIW’s passive armor. Voodoo can’t touch it.

    Is it possible to make cap iw cancel all typed of unstoppable buffs?

    He already does that. He just isn't meant to counter unstoppable abilities that aren't buffs

    The thing is that there are two separate mechanics at issue: buffs vs debuffs, and passive effects vs active effects.

    Buffs cause a beneficial or neutral effect to the champion affected by them.
    Debuffs cause a negative effect to the champion affected by them.

    Active effects (buffs or debuffs) are subject to outside interference (nullify, stagger, debuff shrugging, Willpower)
    Passive effects are not subject to outside interference; so can't be shrugged or their duration/potency reduced.

    So neither Cap nor anyone else is going to be given the ability to counter passive Unstoppable effects; because the whole point of passive effects is that passive effects aren't subject to external modification.
