Some other content creators who got sent the Blue Marvel and Spectrum pack have been given the information about what was wrong with her card, which as it turns out is misprinted in the pack itself, so we can finally do our Hot Takes on her. Monica brings a 3/4/4 6/6 defensive profile on a small base Long Move with flight and the Immunites to Bleed, Incinerate and Poison to the table, in a 4 threat package.
