Man Thing Revealed! - Marvel Crisis Protocol's Newest Horror

[@dwarrenmsp]

I like listening to you talk about characters, so this was a welcome surprise.

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Great video! I think he is a strong 3 threat. I think he will work well in any mid-range style team I think. I plan to try him in my doc ock foes roster.

[@SpiderJ2]

Love how Midnight Sons is getting this love. Can't wait to try him out.

[@POzziee]

Thanks for the early breakdown, can't wait to see you put this guy on the table. My first impressions are he's really tough. As a Foes player I take Lizard as he's the goto tank there. Man-Thing is on another level, he makes Lizard look redundant now. I'm hoping Lizard gets a glow up.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

He is going to be a tough nut to crack, which excites me. I look forward to getting my hands on him, so I can get him on the channel

[@penta-cera-tops]

Man-Thing is great but Lizard 4phys and guaranteed 1dmg reduction is better than Man-Thing's stats because it is more consistent. Man-Thing's tanking will be more swingy BUT he also has support abilities where Lizard is a control tank. I think both are excellent and have their own niche to fill.

[@obyiscushobbyandgaming]

A cool synergy is that the reel in from lashing tendrels triggers at the same time as all who know fear, so you can pull someone into range 2 and cause them to incinerate

[@shyguysamurai]

I’m going to try Man-Thing out in Brotherhood to get Magneto around.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

Nice thought! And at 3 threat, easy to splash. Blow a couple pieces of terrain up, and move some Mooks up the board. I like it

[@Dazza0187]

Why not lockjaw, who can do that turn 1?

[@shyguysamurai]

@@Dazza0187 Because of everything else he does.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

Lockjaw tends to peter out a bit once your team starts doing what they need to. He can definitely port people around easier/faster, but man thing is tough to shake off a point, and can put out some useful conditions to boot

[@razaele5495]

After some thought on it, I'm planning to splash him in web warriors... He is even tougher under Miles leadership, is another control piece, adds a bit of damage output with the incinerates which helps enable the masked menace, and the allied teleport is awesome. I'm yet to be convinced over his tactic card although most of my team displace enemies at will, that 50/50 kills me... That being said, I think this character has warpath stick to him. Time will tell

[@---odie---]

Let's. Go. I've been waiting for Man Thing for a long time. I like the new format for the character analysis. I would love to see on-board examples of the various abilities as you are discussing them.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

Definitely playing around with the format, so I am glad aspects are resonating. Can you elaborate on your last point about on board examples of the abilities? I want to make sure I understand the feedback

[@---odie---]

@@AegisbrandStudios Sure. For each ability/attack/whatever, show an actual example of how it plays out on the board with actual models while you are discussing it.

[@obyiscushobbyandgaming]

Strange, Frankenstein, Mummy, Voodoo and I Hulk can move people with their attacks which could trigger Quagmire. Like imagine throwing someone with I hulk builder into another enemy that's outside of 3 of MT, then rolling and teleporting them to the far side of MT away from the action (bonus points if you can teleport them to the other side of a construction trailer so they can't even see the fight)

[@AegisbrandStudios]

There is some really fun interactions and rube Goldberg machines you can do with this. Good shout out in frank the mummy. Forgot about their ability to move folks around.

[@obyiscushobbyandgaming]

@AegisbrandStudios Ya the last additions added some good movement stuff (not to mention throw on wwbn spender, or Dracula (I know technically not a MS) bowing people - a short move could end up moving them more than range 5 if you want them on the opposite side of MT)

[@WadeWeigle]

He is going to be a pain in the neck to web warriors.

[@AegisbrandStudios]

They definitely will not want to interact with him too much

[@davidblenner9082]

I mean is he just a different Medusa for inhumans Lol. Or maybe he replaces the goodest boi?

[@AegisbrandStudios]

I think there is a stronger argument for replacing lockjaw, though he still has some utility with how fast he can generate power. Though, with the Inhumans leadership, that is not as much an issue with Man-Thing, and you can get Guardian of the Nexus online pretty fast
