Marvel Avengers Alliance: Best Team PvP Season 17. Guide for best characters for PvP. Review Gorgon



Wow Gorgon a finally a character I wold like to...? wait who is Gorgon.

Yesterday I was complaining a little on adding in Medusa to the game but just wow, wow, wow. Medusa makes 100000x more sense then Gorgon.

I was going a little hard on her I mean in her defense really she is the one that does all the talking as Blackbolt cant talk. Medusa always shows up with him and do a lot of stuff, she is super strong with her hair powers she can apparently beat most characters in the Marvel universe. Basically she get a lot of screen time every time the inhumans are in the story. She and Blackbolt did some type of Fantastic four match story for a year or so. I guess overall most inhuman fans are old Fantastic four readers.

But GORGON thats just wtf, who is that.

When someone first wrote to me they released Gorgon I was like, the Hydra bad guy?


This guy, the samurai hydra evil guy that tries to kill Wolverine once or twice every year and sometimes Daredevil etc. Other you know Hydra enemeis. In my opinion this guy is like 10x more famous then Gorgon of the Inhumans.

Gorgons(I) freaking name don't even make any sense hes some kind of Human hybrid. But not with a snake...

 
This is a Gorgon

So a Gorgon is the Greece mythological is the half women half snake with snakes in her hair. Who can petrify people with looking at them..you know like the most famous of them Medusa.....

So I get that marvel was going for some theme, like Medusa got the hair power which is similar to having living snake as a hair. They could have of course called Medusa, Gorgon instead but I guess Medusa do sound more feminine and Sexy and also more know I am assuming then the word Gorgon.

So OK they have this Human hybrid with a goat or something has he got hoofs etc. Hes not 4 legend like a Centaur(however, naming him centaur would make 10x more sense then Gorgon). 

A Satyr

This is what he is, hes clearly a satyr another fabled hybrid in the Greece myths. He powerful hoofs that can control earth. He clearly don't have anything to do with Gorgons, he got earth powers not stone gazing or snakes and he got looks nothing like them. Hes a big muscular Satyr.

I mean really..Stan lee and Jack Kirby most have just failed their knowlegde on the Greece mythological and mix up the races or something.


Gorgon (Earth-616)

Modern Gorgon

Even more so now when Gorgon has transformed to look even more feral and furry.
Something like this.


Also the other Gorgon, Tomi Shishido. Actually got stone gazing petrified powers so he makes 10000x more sense to be named Gorgon then Inhuman gorgon.

But its niot just the name(which was a mistake I assume)

But how just so obscured he is. I recently watched an episode of Hulk Agent of Smash were Gorgon was in it. Gorgon used his abilities once in the episode for like 5 second and had 1 line. Then he just idled in the background into obscurity. Medusa had like 10 minutes of lines. So yeah I think Medusa is kinda unknown....Gorgon is freaking non existing. God and now the next freaking Pvp reward hero is the even less know Karnak(I first wrote Kyrak here--- not even I know these characters) who had not a single line or used any abilities in that episode. Not a very reasonable pick to have as a hard earned hero. I cant see anyone working hard to get him or Gorgon for that matter.

Interesting rant if I may say so. To me its pretty clear they most have done some mistake in researching Greece mythological stuff.

To the game character. (it really feels like I could stop writing here because no one wants to play with him regardless on how bad/good he is).



Gorgon is actually quite good. His passive buffs the whole team each round with random buffs (rising up) Then he protects other inhumans and himself from the corresponding debuffs to rising up, incoming agent trinket to be an inhuman:)

He then also can apply debuffs before attacking enemies that makes his aoe attack good as it can do a lot of stuff to them.

He is extremely unoriginal hes basically a mix between Thundra and Hogun, well and others I guess. He builds up buffs on himself and gets winded so his next attack deal more damage debuff the opponent and then try to one shot them.

 This is pretty good, high base damage moves, buff or for himself and debuffs on the enemy. There is just one thing that really brings him down, and by that I mean from similar characters. Should be noted those characters aren't the top as it not amazing to have decent single debuffs, his aoe is his best move by far. 
 And his team buffing is nothing compared to for example Spiral. Neither is his damage its good but not amazing. All that being said he is still good what fails him is the Ultimate.

Its a really bad one. Sure it does high damage, very high damage if everything is set up properly just like so many other finishing attacks and here is the problem. This move got kick like a mule. Which means the character loses the next turn as they get stunned.

This makes no sense Gorgon(Satyr)s attack is far to weak to be a 2 turn deal sure its strong but not stronger then e.g war. Its not on Havok level at all. Not only does Havok way more damage he can trigger the build up right away and just do it. Don't take any time. Much, much better.

Gorgon has one of the weaker finish moves and it cost 2 turns, it just such a dead blow to him. At least who cares right, its just another filler character.
