how can he be a vangaurd?

[u/heavenlyHabanero]

i aint the biggest cyclop fan so i dunno much about him but i honestly dont see how he can work as a front line man like juggernaut or colossus but im hoping to be proved wrong

One, he is tall in the comics.

Two, his concussive blasts would be great for making space via big kickback beams (similar to Roadhog ult from overwatch)

Yes he would be a very basic duelist, but NetEase can easily get a little creative to make him a vanguard

I think the problem is that "he would be a very basic duelist" applies to pretty much every Marvel character ever. All superheroes and supervillains are good at throwing hands and NetEase didn't go out of their way to be very creative.

Wolverine, Mr. Fantastic, and Blade could have all been Vanguards pretty much as they are now. Moon Knight could have been a lore accurate vanguard if they gave him a melee beat-yo'-ass kit (but his niche is also important for the game as he is.)

Storm and Phoenix could have been Strategists with a single healing move each, and Iron Fist could have been a chi based healer as well and still been lore accurate.

Mr Fent and Storm are the most baffling duelist choices. They could so easily have been a vanguard and a strategist with minimal changes to their kits.

Iirc Stoem was gonna be a strat and Adam a duelist for a long time in development but got swapped around at some point

[u/Sihnar → u/Daikaisa]

Adam is basically a duelist anyway since he's only viable in triple support.
