Predicting the new post rotation, post worlds, post rule change meta
Like the title says, what do you guys think will be meta after the rotation, worlds, and rules changes are all in the books?
I think an obvious answer is definitely Goblin King, since his pick-a-power can't be outwitted with the new rules because of Power Cosmic, but he still needs a team to go around him, and with his inevitable play by almost everyone, how will you stop him? Will Jakeem fade into the night? Will Shredders remain dangerous? Could Doc Ock make a comback with the outwit boost?

So many things to consider, it's hard to tell. I think obviously Jakeem takes a hit. That said, he's still pretty darn good. One problem with Doc Oc teams is that once he's within range, his flurry can be outwitted now. If you just keep an outwit on him, he's not so good anymore.
The new Goblin King is where it's at. For 10 points more than Jakeem with eclipso you get superior defensive powers, and the most important- power cosmic. Immunity to outwit AND pushing damage at the cost of what? Can't think of any drawbacks, especially post rules change when outwit gets a buff

I will play Peggy Carter, turn off Mr Goblin King's power cosmic and outwit him like anyone else.

Doc oc carries his own outwit, he can counter outwit to regain flurry

60 points and you have to be 3 spaces away. And which power do you choose to outwit? And if you're 3 spaces away I'll just go ahead and take precision strike and one shot ol peggy
I think JW Riddler will be a must have on teams especially with Goblin King and Jakeem probably teaming up! He has outwit and his clue marker which says you "can't use" standard powers.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT, BAT-BRAIN: The Riddler begins the game with the Clue attached. Give The Riddler a free action to either: reattach the Clue to The Riddler -or- choose an opposing character within 6 squares and line of fire, detach the Clue and place it in a clear, unoccupied square within 6 squares of that character and when you do, choose a standard power and the target can't use that power until an opposing character moves into or through the square with the Clue or the Clue is reattached to The Riddler.

Peggy tends to travel around with people like Doc Ock, Goblin king and Jakeem are going to be prey for teams like that with the new outwit rules.

I don't think Jakeem will be going away just yet. For 2 points more than Goblin King's 175 Dial you can have Jakeem with the Supreme Intelligence and either Brainiac or Eclipso. 5 powers a turn isn't anything to sneeze at, especially since he already has Prob/Sidestep/ESD. He can also forgo those things and you have an extra 35 to play with, which means he can take along his good buddy Green Lantern. Jakeem will also be on teams that have a higher chance of selecting map, since Mystical and JSA are far better keywords than Dark Avengers, Monster, and Ruler.
