If you are talking about the one that involves the MC's 3rd evolution and everyone else also evolving, it was Legendary. To go through that for the first time, its an experience in itself.

I tip my had to WW for his writing capabilities. I am not a big fan of 2DCG type games but I guess this game is perfection in 2DCG and probably the greatest and the best one of that category.
how far am i in percent or playtime from that point to the end of current content?
i want to play some more this weekend but im curious how long i have to go from end of HERO assault until current update

I'm curious, what are people's Superhero names for MC?

I went for No-Thing, tried to headcanon it as MC saying their superhero name was nothing and it becoming their name. And I thought it sort of fit with how he doesn't have a set form anymore, his default form could be a pile of shit if his internal self image was terrible enough

But yeah what did others choose and why?
Evolution, it felt too on the nose to pass up.

I generally disagree with all the ideas that MC is dumb. Even if he is saying dumb things at time and doesn't have a mind for academics, he is quick on the uptake and he has strokes of genius.
In all the flashbacks to his earlier years he is very sharp. The amount of self reflection is very uncharacteristic of his age and he is very savvy. He also has very good control of his emotions and knows how to survive on his own. If I had to rate him only as a kid, I'd even call him a genius. ( I also fully relate with his ability to sleep in class and get "good" grades. I was also a long haired class sleeper with good grades ^^ )

As far as post-infection intelligence is concerned:
1. Despite having 0 combat experience, he quickly adapted to the challenges without much time to prepare.
2. He is very good at applying his powers in out of combat stuff, like playing poker.
3. He managed to keep his identity hidden despite being exposed to so much publicity, as a direct result of his preparation.
4. His approach to fighting Jake was genius and he went into it with the disadvantage of not knowing the extend of his powers while Jake knew about him both from Ella and all the videos of his superhero persona.
5. His mantis punch which was catalytic against Valravn was the result of tinkering and engineering. He adapted foreign physiology to his own in a way that it's not just effective but absolutely fearsome to face.

Despite how "simple" MC may seem at times, his way of fighting is complex and he employs multiple tactics, making him a very difficult enemy to face even without the regeneration. It's technical and precise, even if he has to rely on his regeneration to overcome his lack of experience. A simple guy would just build a big fist. MC's approach was far more methodical.
The mc has the most fearsome, the most troublesome and perhaps even the most dangerous ability any living being could possibly possess: adaptability. As long as he's breathing he *will* return with a new strategy and new plans to kill you and no matter how hard you try, he *will* survive and comeback even stronger (on rare occasions, he doesn't - resulted from fucking with powerful beings). Also, adaptability is also the best weapon anyone could have since you will get better, smarter and stronger. Look at humans, we're perhaps 100k years old in evolution and yet here we are, at the top of the food chains while ancient and prehistoric species like insects, fishs and others are reduced to our food. They stay the same throughout the centuries while we evolve, develop and *adapt* to the changes.

MC was as vulnerable to lightning as any other superhuman was
It's lightning, pure and unadultered energy. Only a handful of entities are capable of fully absorbing that shit without getting drawbacks. Unless you were "born" with that ability or just strong enough to not feel a shit, otherwise not only the MC but *everyone* will get fucked up by lightning (Also fire, erosion, acid and all those stuff that the mc is weak against. What do you expect? IT'S FUCKING FIRE. It also doesn't help since the MC ability is mainly "recreate" stuff using organic material fueled by otherworld abilities + energy)

MC pretty much explodes in contact with lightning, so his weakness to it is apparent. And the worst part is, he can't transform into something lightning and electricity don't affect, since its his cells that are weak to it due to electricity messing up his control over his power. If he didn't have that happen to him, he could turn into rubber or dry wood or anything else that doesn't conduct electricity and the only thing left is the force of the lightning, which a superhuman of his level, along with his armor and maybe other things, should be able to survive handily.

As for fire and acid, the continuous damage they do inhibits his regeneration, so its not a weakness in the same sense as lightning, from which even the slightest touch would either explode him or force him to focus on controlling his body for it to not explode. Even if MC was level 5, unless he figured how to fix that weakness, a level one Met would demolish MC if his lightning even touched slightly, compared to fire and acid which won't matter if they don't do damage. And the sheer speed of lightning compared to fire and acid makes it all the worse.

Brother, please don't just bring up the lv 1 vs lv 5 argument again. A level 1 vs a level 5 would never work in any universe even if the level 1 has the most broken power ever. The weakness to lightning will most probably be resolved at lv 4 which is the "limit breaker" stage maybe even nullified if MC is smart or willing enough. And even if the weakness still remains a level 1 or even a level 3 Met will get folded even before he can utter a word, and if he's able to use his powers they won't be powerful enough to effectively damage MC

You may be right, but you get my point; maybe at level five, even if the weakness wasn't resolved, Met's level one lightning would not be able to permanently put down MC, but it is still an incredibly huge advantage. So long as it hits MC, if he has that weakness, its pretty much either game over or MC finds a way to get away without being hit. In fact, I doubt current MC can survive level 1 Met's lightning, as EVEN IF we say Met's lighting wasn't strong enough to kill current MC at level 1, it would still stun MC by making him need to focus on controlling his body, leading to Met feeding him more lightning until MC just explodes. I don't even know if MC can dodge or react to lightning currently speed-wise, so saying he'd just dodge is questionable.

I don't think you understand what lightning does to MC. If lvl1 Met hits lvl3 MC, both will probably be hurt, but at that level MC can regenerate fully from a puddle of gore.

A level 1, even a peak one, isn't strong enough to damage a level 3 let alone a level 5. MC has a strong weakness to lightning, so much that at level 1 he got folded by a taser, but that's level 1 and right now he probably needs several tens of thousands of volts to get damaged. Met at level 1, even if he's a special superhuman doesn't have that kind of power, not even in his dreams. As of right now maybe, just maybe a level 2 Met could be enough if he doesn't get killed first

Edit: saying that lightning from a level 1 is enough to damage MC is like saying that a level 5 MC gets fucked by a nuke 'cause there will be nothing to regenerate, that's just stupid

I agree mc's greatest weakness currently is lightning but saying level 1 met can kill mc at lvl 3 is something else, mc wouldn't probably even notice something hit him at that point, it'd just be dealth with, with his resistance alone or with his control. You can't underestimate MC's tenacity.

But yes maybe lvl 2 can but his already lvl 3 no point in discussing this. Met lvl 3 vs a lvl 3 mc, will end on MC's defeat, met is just to powerful and fast, be it in close range, long range his just too op and It's just a bad match up, but then again I don't really see Met and Mc fighting, Met owes him a favor and all.
