Gotta love Cap. America. Easily one of the best characters (imo THE best) in the game.

He's still decent character. Used to be a pain back when protect meant to protect against any and every attack, counter attacks and all. He's rather easy to get over now with all the gadget and heroes that remove buff and the Cornered and Offabalance debuffs. His Empowered ISO is nice. Use him with character that uses range attacks. I wonder when Spec Ops 17 comes he will get reworked a little.

On that note, I will say I miss how simple the game was, two years ago. It's pretty straightforward. Now, it's become a little complex with all the new buffs and debuffs that render heroes who take time to properly set up useless.
