Use protection and pressure to create room for your team.

One focused exercise

Read the condition for each transformation and practise the transition outside a live engagement first.

Read the current form and its resource conditions before entering a match.
Try the exercise with one target or one route so you can recognise what changes.
Review the engagement: could your allies see you, and did you preserve an exit?

THE PERSON BEHIND THE KIT

Story & connections

The biography above describes the game’s interpretation. Comic continuities and film portrayals can differ, and gameplay statistics do not measure a character’s fictional power.
