Unfortunately for him, click #2 is his sweet spot, so you'll need to push onto it or risk getting smacked right past it. Then Perplex up his own defense. He isn't much of an attack threat but he can force enemies to deal with him, and dealing with 19 DV and Plasticity can be a real pain.

I have been using this guy with Doctor Octopus, Will o' the Wisp, and Tony stark. They are all four scientis so it is a theme team. Doctor Perplexs his defense up to 20 using Four arms. This guy and Tony are attached at the hip giving him an 18 defense. Then I use Tony and his own Perplex to perplex his defense up to 20. I will leave LOS open to these two and allow my opponent to shoot away. Then when it is my turn I have 6 perplexs for Doctor or two for Skull Brother here to use on Damage if attacking a low defense character or attack to get up to those high defense guys with an 18 defense. High defense guys at 18, muhahahahhahahaha.

With the upgrades to Plasticity this guy is much more playable now, especially in Scientist teams as a great tie up piece. The middle 8 attacks are disappointing, but otherwise he actually has pretty decent stats for the points and the perplex helps a ton. Will be playing this guy much more often now.
