MysticB tier
Introduction

Is Man-Thing good?
Man-Thing Nullifies buffs on contact and on Special 2, converting them into Toxic Pustules that can be Nullified again for Poison and Armor Break, essentially double-dipping on the same buff. It has one of the largest HP pools in the game, steady Signature-driven regeneration, and largely shrugs off bonus crit damage, on top of built-in Bleed and Armor Break immunity.
It has no base Armor though, making it vulnerable to high raw Attack, relies on Nullify to even trigger its own Poison and Armor Break, and Petrify or Heal Block can turn its regeneration against it. B tier for a tanky, buff-punishing Mystic with a real Armor gap.

- Built-in immunity to Bleed and Armor Break
Weaknesses

Profile
Man-Thing's species is listed as Creature of the swamp.
Background
The Man-Thing was once the brilliant biochemist Dr.
Ted Sallis. While working for S. H. I. E.
L. D. to replicate the Super Soldier Serum, Dr.
Sallis was forced to flee due to an A. I.
M. plot which involved stealing his work.
He injected himself with the only remaining sample of his serum before crashing his car into a swamp while on the run.
Rather than dying from that crash, he was reformed into a creature made of the swamp itself: the Man-Thing!

Skills
9Made of Mush
PassiveMan-Thing is made of swamp mush and lacks any meaningful weak points to exploit, this makes it Immune to Armor Break or Shatter effects, and prevents Critical Hits from dealing bonus Damage. Man-Thing’s lack of blood also makes it Immune to Bleed effects.
Empathic Agitation
PassiveMan-Thing reacts to powerful emotions, gaining +5 Agitation when struck by a Champion Attack and when hitting a Buffed Opponent with a Medium Attack, up to a maximum of 100. As Man-Thing’s Agitation grows so does its Attack, gaining up to 7665.6 Attack based on Agitation. Agitation falls off over time, falling off faster the longer it’s been since it last increased. If the Opponent is a #Villain or has an active Buff, Man-Thing will wait 5 second(s) after each increase before Agitation begins to fall off.

Dev Notes: Again we had to keep these to only a single stack or Man-Thing’s propensity to throw many special attacks had things spiralling out of control!
