Lore
Gamma Charge
Iron Man: "Hulk, can you please not overcharge my suit this time? Last time, I nearly ended up as a walking firework!"
Hulk: "Suit too weak! NOT HULK'S FAULT!"
Namor: "Tony, spare the complaints. Your clunky shell is simply flawed. Monstro's spawn are built to consume radiation."
Iron Man: "Oh? So last time when it went rogue and attacked that research fleet was just 'normal behavior'?"
Namor: "Isn't it your kind that caused them to become like that? Besides, if those humans hadn't dared to trespass into its waters, my beast wouldn't have bothered them in the first place."
Hulk: "HULK TIRED OF TIN CAN AND FISHMAN FIGHTING! HULK LEAVING!"
Iron Man: "Sorry, Hulk—I'll figure out the circuitry. This time, I've got to control the intake. Gonna have to learn to be a Defender just like Stephen was..."
Namor: "You know nothing of our teamwork, Stark. One of the few teams I've been willing to join in my centuries alive."
Iron Man: "Namor, what are you talking about? You've joined everyone from the Invaders to the X-Men. You just like to whine about being alone for attention."
Namor: "And yet every time I do, you land dwellers always show your true colors. But soon, Monstro will feast on this gamma power and I won't need any of you any longer."
Hulk: "HULK SMASH SQUID—"
Iron Man: "Well, until that day comes, we'll make everyone else green with envy."
Hulk: "…EXACTLY. GREEN TEAM SMASH!"
Gamma Charge Guide
In this Team-Up, Bruce Banner acts as the anchor, granting Black Panther and The Thing enhanced abilities.
Black Panther gains a defensive passive that automatically generates a Gamma-Charged Shield when his HP drops below 25%.
Meanwhile, The Thing receives Gamma Gauntlets, which increase the damage and range of Stone Haymaker and Rocky Jab. Each hit also grants The Thing bonus health.
Black Panther
With Gamma Charge, Black Panther can play even more aggressively thanks to the passive shield he gains when his HP drops below 25%. This allows him to dive harder and secure kills even while being anti-flanked.
However, avoid overextending just because the shield is active. It only lasts for about three seconds, which means once it pops, you have a very small window to confirm a kill or retreat immediately.
The Thing
The Thing, who has already received buffs left and right, is getting even stronger with Gamma Charge. He is now the ultimate counter to flying enemies, and with the extended range and increased damage, Iron Man, Ultron, Storm, and Human Torch become easy prey.
Activate Gamma Charge only when you have a clear target to eliminate. Without proper focus, this ability can go to waste.
