Thank you, chap! Just a thought, though - if we're going to include Strategy Articles like that, we should probably:

a) Put them in the OP - either get @Viegon to put them in or let someone take over the thread.
b) Link all Codex Strategy articles, including my LexCorp one, all the ones @Ronin 's done (he's the one actually in charge of that department - I just help out occasionally ), and the few that were done by @marrowick before Ronin took over the department. I'd list them something like this:

Mephisto by Ronin
Cable (Nate Summers) by Ronin
Echo (Maya Lopez) by Lazy Orang
LexCorp Security by Lazy Orang
Maxima by Ronin
Plastic Man (Eel O'Brian) by Ronin
Hawkeye (vII) (Clint Barton) by Ronin
Red Skull (C3G) (Johann Schmidt) by marrowick
Iron Man (MkV) (Tony Stark) by marrowick
Captain America (C3G) (Steve Rogers) by marrowick

Captain America (C3G) (Steve Rogers) by marrowick

That was the plan. Thanks for doing the compiling, I was dreading that part.

Other than the LexCorp Security article, I didn't know the rest of these existed. Thanks for linking them they were all very insightful

@japes I quickly copy, pasted and edited marrowick's Captain America Strategy Article. I do not have the writing prowess of Lazy or Ronin but I tried to capture the main points marrowick was making. Let me know what you think. I have no problem if you decide not to use it, or would have a better writer make changes. We would obviously want to give marrowick credit somewhere. Maybe even link the full article.

Spoiler Alert!

• Captain America is best used as the foundation of your army, not the finishing touch.
• You’ll almost always want to pair him up with Wasp as she uses her Avenger’s Comlink special power to make sure you never lose a turn. Ms. Marvel is also a good alternative. On top of these teammates is Bucky. Bucky is a super soldier’s best friend.
• Because Captain America has 6 attack, this allows him to easily dispatch lesser foes and contend with the tougher ones. Also because he has 6 move, he doesn’t have much trouble crossing the field and catching up with most runners, but it also allows him to easily retreat from most non-flying threats, and like the rest of his build he is extremely versatile. With his special, he sacrifices a little damage for more targets, but it’s worth it and this is very helpful when facing squads or close-knit groups of lower end heroes (5 or 6 defense max).
• You’ll want to start Captain America near the front. If you have Bucky, he’ll be a front-liner as well. If you have Wasp, place her in the back as far away from the action as possible. Captain America will always take at least one turn each round. Order Markers 2 and 3 will stay on Wasp all the time, unless you don’t put an Avenger’s Marker on all your heroes.
• Always keep everyone with an Avenger’s Marker within clear sight of Captain America whenever possible.
• Generally you’ll want Captain America to engage the opponent’s figures in melee combat, but if you’ve got a chance to do some nice damage with your special attack, take a moment to step back and throw your shield. If you have Bucky, always try to keep Captain America close to him and don’t engage the heavies with Captain America if you can help it. Your army should have some sort of heavy that can deal with them.

Happy to see this thread humming along. It's a combination of disorienting, flattering, and fascinating to read thoughtful, in-depth strategy write ups like these on units you helped design!
