ISO-8 Suggestions

Chaotics would be better since he has pretty balanced stats.

Notes

• He unlocks Chapter 7 Premium Mission, which rewards with Cosmic Ray Bomb and Handheld Hohlraum.
• He is easily overshadowed by other blasters but because of his premium mission, he is one of the must-buy-heroes. Basically because Chapter 7 Master reward: Golden T.Q. 5000.

Team Suggestions

• Iron Man OR Magik . Because they could burn all enemies, while Human Torch could exploit burning.

wow, for one of the hero threads it isn't getting used

Having recently picked up Johnny, i am looking forward to getting him to level 6, at which point I'll feel better about doing his premium mission.

Does his level 9 power hit both sides? If it does, how worth while is it?

[GothamLord]

Yes, I believe Nova Blast hits EVERYONE. Similar to Storm's Blizzard, only fire based instead of Ice.

I think I have never used his level 6 skill. It is especially unnecessary to use in his premium.

This is another underpowered powerhouse. His potential for damage has been killed. Playdom, give him some nice passives. Period.

[Selendra]

i found that most heroes do better at level 6, they have three of there powers, and three isos, Leveling them isn't that hard, getting them to survive at low levels in the missions is, at level 1, i used him on 2x missions and he was ready to level.

Couldn't you use a flame suppressant before activating Nova Blast? Otherwise it seems like a rather desperate ' last ditch' manoever.

IIRC flame suppressant only prevents/removes burn status and not reduce/block fire-type damage. Nova blast does not apply burn.
