New Character - Winter Soldier (Thunderbolts) 5*

Welp, here we go again.

I've got no idea why they worded his powers the way they did. "Thunderbolt ally" counts him for both of the relevant passives. Reread his powers with that information in mind (just replace "thunderbolt ally" with "winter soldier") and presto! suddenly he's a guy with a 5ap AoE and two different passives that can do multiple hits.

I don't get it. He's perfectly fine but they've gone out of their way to make him read like trash.

It’s that darn lack of clarity about “teammates” and “allies”. Some abilities that use “allies” don’t include the user, like 3/5 Thanos and Gambit. 5* Elektra’s Yellow clearly states “Elektra or her allies”. But some do, like 5* Colossus and Melinda May. Then there are those I’m not sure about, like 3* Gambit’s Black, IM46, Crystal.

As for “teammate”… well I believe Honey Badger’s Purple doesn’t include herself.

I guess whenever we see the word “ally” or “teammate”, we’ll just have to test them ourselves innit

Think he looks pretty good. Probably run him 5/5/3 since the yellow hits hard enough that I don't think I need it at 5. What builds are y'all thinking of?

The creation of this Winter Soldier to coincide with the release of the Thunderbolts* film means that his powers will be at his peak if he is paired up exclusively with other Thunderbolt members. Here is a list of characters in the game who are affiliated with Thunderbolts:

Electro [Francine Frye] (5)
Green Goblin [Norman Osborn] (5)
Abomination [Emil Blonsky] (5)
Rhino [Classic] (4)
Taskmaster [Tony Masters] (4)
Bullseye [Classic] (3)
Iron Fist [Immortal Weapon] (3)
Luke Cage [Hero For Hire] (3)
The Punisher [Dark Reign] (3)
Hawkeye [Modern] (2)
Juggernaut [Classic] (1)
Venom [Dark Avengers] (1)
Black Widow [Modern] (1)
Yelena Belova [Dark Avengers] (1)

Ghost (4) and Red Guardian (4) do not have the Thunderbolts affiliation label as of this writing, so I am assuming D3 will be updating the game to reflect this.

So would it be worth trying to 13;cover him using

2. 1s. I got them all to 55o

Will have to wait until he can be championed, could be better than Rubber Ducky
