I said I would get an argument.
While Adaptive Resistance is a great power, Evolutionary Regeneration is basically only useful in a stalling game. Any decent team at that point level can do better things with an order marker than knock a wound marker off Doomsday.

I don't think she needs a point increase, I think her powers need to be re-evaluated entirely. (I hope I didn't come off to critical)

I haven't plated Metiorite, but I've played Doctor Light quite a bit, and I agree that it seems like adding intangibility to the mix with him could be ridiculous. Then she has that OM removal power after you engage her!

His dodge might have a lot of loopholes, but if he goes against Batman, Bats will lose 4 out of 5 times. I don't think he should be redesigned at all, I love the design, but I think a 20 point increase would be perfect.

You may be right; I'm not sure. He could be underpriced but at the end of the day he's a melee normal attacker who can't be multiple-activated.
The recent standalone figures that strike me as possibly underpriced for their attacking output are Radioactive Man and Crimson Dynamo, but these are also solely pricing issues and I am not confident that I'm right about either of them.

Wendigo is pretty decent in a Frankenstein build, and Hawkeye can bond with SHIELD agents with Nick Fury's help. So I'm not sure I'd drop them. Agreed on Penguin and Ventriloquist. No real opinion on MK3 but you may be right.
I have a soft spot for Loki and keep trying to use him, but I always come away thinking I could have done better with the points.
