Give him Exospex and go to town? Equipment that can be destroyed might be too big of a risk since you are probably never getting more than +4 theme. I was thinking:

210 Thane
30 Mangog
20 Groot
10 Flora Colossus
12 Exospex
5 Jet Terrain
5 Wolverine Faculty ID
5 Storm Bounty ID
3 Iceman Student ID
= 300

Maybe just go straight for Thane + Lockjaw.

Thane is nuts, I feel a great combo is:

Thane 210
Symbiote 4
Veronica Cale 35
Surtur x2 50
299 points

Played that exact team multiple times. I ended up swapping out the symbiote for the Remaker Ring. Both give you SC, but the ring is also indestructible and grants poison. Its a great combo when playing SWB Black Panther. You can pick "toughness" as the power that can't be used when Thane has two action tokens and use poison to hit panther and kill zombies on his last 3 clicks.

The poison is also effective on half of Panthers main dial, which is a great way to avoid having to beat the SC/PC/SS/SS/Imp combo

The only downside is that you don't get to auto breakaway.

Definitely going to give the 2x Surtur version a spin.

Struggling to know what maps are best. Might just be lazy and use WK Office
