Yup I do that as well, but when I have my 4 characters team, Playing just with Emma, it's difficult to use her crowd control powers against the minions before Mephisto because it requires a lot of energy, 4 or 5 slams and your energy bar is empty. Also you can't slam the bats and fire giants, and your energy does not regenerate faster.
I always like to keep some energy so I can use the healing boost or the diamond form for my defense in case that my health is too low, that's why I survived until this point my friend

This tourney has been fun so far.  When I used Human Torch, I could be alot more aggressive, which is my preferred style.  Using Silver Surfer, there was quite a bit of "attack and run" maneuvers, which is slower -- but ended up getting me considerably farther.  Captain Marvel has gotten me  back to the aggressive approach (with just a few runs to escape a deadly situation).  His "invisibility" power is very helpful and it's something I've never used in the past but find it necessary in this solo approach.  Also, that 4-4-6 combo that is often required is easier to accomplish when Captain Marvel is invisible because the victim sometimes doesn't punch back.  I'm currently in Mandarin's palace.

Fox, Captain Marvel, Level 33, Mandarin's Palace

One cool thing about this tournament is that I'm solidifying exactly which characters would form my all-time favorite team of 4.  Some of the ones that I've toyed with and have ruled out are Captain America, Moon Knight, Northstar and Quicksilver, although I still like all of them.  My top three definitely are Human Torch, Silver Surfer, and Captain Marvel.  I haven't tried Angel yet since LegionODoom was using him, but I think he'd round out my top 4.

Speaking of Angel...

Still in Mandarin's Palace, but I got past Gray Gargoyle and Ultimo 2. GG was much easier this time around, because I took the advice someone posted here earlier about hit-and-run tactics with him. I believe I saved right before going to face the 10-Ringed One himself. Haven't had much time to play over the past few days, just a little bit here and there.

I originally picked Angel because of his Blood Transfusion healing power. But as I've gone further and further, the Hummingbird Essence is a much better boost to use on a more consistent basis. Big boost to defense and a nice dodge chance, plus the increased speed really helps you lay into the mobs.

Based on Whiteking's progress in Mephisto's Realm, I'm really dreading that level. Angel doesn't have any good long-distance powers.

his feather move, his 2 slam move, his wing twist move. Sounds good to me

[LegionODoom]

Not even gonna make it to Mephisto's Realm...

Dude, he's HARD! I did OK at first, doing the dodge roll to avoid the freeze beams. But once he tags you with one, he gets another one or two high-damage licks in and all of a sudden you're down to 1/4 health!

So Angel is now available, and I won't be starting over for the tournament. Playing solo has actually been fun and more challenging than I thought. I'm going to continue with the game using Angel only, just to see if I can get through it. I just don't have enough free time to spend playing the game to conceivable win this thing (which is a lost cause, since Whiteking is KILLING it!!).

Good luck! I'll keep watching this thread to see how it turns out.

Same thing happened there with Silver Surfer.  Captain Marvel made it through partly because he could turn invisible and partly because he didn't have to stand there and charge up to get a decent amount of damage done on Mandarin.  I may try Angel (but hopefully I won't have to!)  Captain Marvel is just starting out in Mephisto's Realm.

Finished the Bifrost Bridge mission and ready to save the Gods.
Everyone's sad because the death of Nightcrawler, yup I saved Jean ^^, I realized that it's easier and (perhaps) more realistic to bring Nightcrawler back sooner than Jean, so I decided to keep her alive lol xD

Hilarious!

Update for me (last one for awhile since I won't be at my home computer to get to play):
Fox, Captain Marvel, Level 43 (I've played 3 missions and hung around quite awhile in Mephisto's Realm with those reincarnating Demon Leapers -- hoping that it helps!), Just got to Valhalla.

My closest call so far was with Krang and Byrrah.  I'm not sure which one it was, but he kept hitting me when I became visible and I couldn't escape.  Luckily a burst of health orbs saved me when I think I couldn't have taken any more hits.
