Alright, not what I wanted to hear, but I definitely trust TrollBrute on this one because I've suspected the same.

I'm thinking we lower the cap to 3, like he suggests, up the roll slightly (1-6), send him out again at 360 and hope for the best. Other thoughts?

Army Test 1
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 370-390
- Give a brief overview.A loss here, but that's mostly because Mentallo was INSANE. Most of the the other Mutants couldn't touch Captain Marvel, but Mentallo was able to turn Ronan and the Kree Scouts against him, causing him to deal a lot of damage to his own team. Most of the damage that Marvel dealt out was through Cosmic Awareness.
Map: Custom
Units: Captain Marvel (370), Ronan (360), Kree Scout x8 (320) (1050) VS Professor Xavier (220), Jean Grey (180), Siryn, (140), Pyro (120), Mentallo (135), Toad (95), Angel (90), Shadowcat (80) (1060)

Unit Summary:
Damage: 5 Kree Scouts destroyed, 3 wounds to Ronan, 2 wounds to Mentallo, 4 wounds to Jean, 4 wounds to Pyro, 1 wound to Toad, 1 wound to Shadowcat, 3 wounds to Xavier.
Cosmic Awareness: 3 rolls subtracted from; 18 wounds inflicted.
Cosmic Madness: 1-6: 4 times out of 16 rolls; switched 0 times.

Spoiler Alert!

Ronan Accuses Mentallo.

With Mentallo hanging back beside a bush and within Xavier's protection, the Kree heroes were forced to get aggressive while the Scouts stayed back. The mutants were able to keep the heroes tied down though, and a few bad rolls took down the Kree. Had the Kree been able to take down Mentallo earlier, this would have been a whole different game.

R7T2: Xavier and Mentallo each with 3/4 wounds, Angel and Shadowcat each with 1/4 wounds.

Army Test 2
- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 360-380
- Give a brief overview.A rematch of the first game just with Mentallo replaced by Blink (more points, I know, but I honestly thought the Kree were going to win this one. They really should have, but Ronan's roll were awful). Captain Marvel did less damage, but it was a much closer game.

Units: Captain Marvel (370), Ronan (360), Kree Scout x8 (320) (1050) VS Professor Xavier (220), Jean Grey (180), Siryn, (140), Pyro (120), Blink (145), Toad (95), Angel (90), Shadowcat (80) (1070)

Unit Summary:
Damage: 2 wounds to Blink, 3 wounds to Pyro, 3 wound to Toad, 2 wounds to Jean, 4 to Siryn.
Cosmic Awareness: 3 rolls subtracted from; 3 wounds inflicted.
Cosmic Madness: 1-6: 2 times out of 9 rolls. Switched 0 times.

Spoiler Alert!

Ronan Accuses Jean.

The battle begins early. Blink and Toad take the high ground and are quickly met by the Kree. Pyro's Living Flames takes out a few Scouts and deals a couple wounds to Marvel, but Toad does little before dying and Blink takes a couple early wounds. Jean takes a couple wounds and Blink goes down, giving the Kree a large lead when Siryn swoops in and drops 3 attack with her SA, dealing a wound to Captain Marvel, 3 to Ronan and taking out 3 Scouts. That's all she can do before Captain Marvel KOs her with a 7/8 skull roll. On the next turn, Jean finishes off Captain Marvel, but is KO'ed by Ronan before she do any more damage. Ronan and the scouts took down Angel and Xavier, but Ronan whiffed too many times against Shadowcat and fell.

R10T3: Shadowcat with 2/4 wounds.

Army Test 3

- Does it pass, Yes or No? Yes.
- What should be the unit's point value? 370+
- Give a brief overview.I wanted to see how Captain Marvel would fare against some larger attacks so I treid him against the Skrulls (which was also neatly thematic). He did much less damage with Cosmic Awareness, but he did more than enough with his normal attack. Had it not been for a couple of really untimely defense whiffs from the Kree heroes, this wouldn't have even been close.
Map: Mountain Spring
Units: Captain Marvel (370), Quasar (370), Kree Scout x4 (160) (1000) VS Super Skrull (Rl'nnd, 280), Super Skrull (Kl'rt, 340), Skrull Warriors x3 (330), Skrull Inflitrators x5 (50) (1000)

Unit Summary:
Damage: 3 Skrull Warriors destroyed, 5 wounds to S-S (Rl'nnd), 1 wound to S-S (Kl'rt).
Cosmic Awareness: 0 rolls subtracted from; 3 wounds inflicted.
Cosmic Madness: 1-6: 1 times out of 5 rolls. Switched 0 times.

Spoiler Alert!

The Kree quickly took the mountain and began raining down death on the Skrulls. Thanks to a whiffed defense roll, Captain Marvel took a couple wounds from a Warrior and another from a disengagement, but he easily handled Rl'nnd before he was KO'ed by Kl'rt. From there, Quasar and the Scouts handled the clean-up.

R5T1: 3 Scouts and Quasar with 3/5 wounds.

A couple of losses here, I know, but that had little to do with Marvel. Game 1 was only a loss due to Mentallo being near-broken in an Xavier army and in Game 2 they were down 20 points against a tough team. Captain Marvel felt like a 400+ point figure in all 3 games. Even if they were the same cost, I would always draft him over Mar-Vell. Genis-Vell has 1 less attack and no Stealth Flying, but he has an extra Life (which is a big deal on a figure with Cosmic Awareness) and the possibility of getting an even higher attack. Currently, he's better than Mar-vell rather than worse and Mar-Vell can already feel undercosted at 400.

The big problem is that Cosmic Madness is a huge plus, rather than the negative it seems like it's supposed to be. I did everything I could to drive him crazy in the first two games (lots of attacks, tons of D20 rolls for him to effect...), and he didn't turn once. If you really want him to be switching teams more often, I would suggest capping the markers at 3. Even then, I would also bump the roll to a 1-7 or even a 1-8.
