2024-25 THANO$VIB$ Awards

Hello agents. Another year has gone by, which means another year that this fucking bum was completely wrong about everything.

MORON!

With that out of the way let us present our THANO$VIB$ awards for the 2024-25 season! This covers new characters/uniforms added in the updates from 10.0 to 10.8 inclusive. Each award is shown with the winner and two runner-ups :D

  Full Awards List!

  Most Valuable Player

  Doctor Strange [What If... Zombies?!]

  Doctor Strange [What If... Zombies?!]

  Psylocke [Summer Vacation]
  Kingpin [Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again]

  The MVP goes to the overall best character added this year. As there were no hybrid characters this year, the MVP goes towards the best and most versatile PvE characters.

  A big congrats to Zteph for winning yet another MVP (if we did these in the past he'd have won at least once). The undisputed best PvE character this year and a massive step forward in the PvE meta. If performance alone is not enough, consider the narrative of knocking Magneto (unethical, seasonal uniform, 6600 Crystals) off the Blast Villain Male throne he'd been occupying for far too long.

  Psylocke is the clear runner-up, with by far the best seasonal uniform of the year. Covering 2 ABL days and being able to hit 12m comfortably for both makes her extremely useful, even if she's not the top scorer for the Blast day.

  The late third-place spot goes to Kingpin, who snuck up last-minute to knock Hulk off the Combat Villain spot. Scoring as much if not more than the previous two metas without a Team-Up Collection makes him a far more appealing choice, especially for new players.

  Defensive Player of the Year

  Knull [Ancient History]

  Knull [Ancient History]

  Sentry [Merged]
  Wolverine [Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine]

  The DPOY goes to the best PvP character of the year.

  It seemed like Sentry had this one on lock, being the best PvP character in a long while, until Knull arrived halfway through the season and was immediately better. Not much more needs to be said about these two as the clear #1 and #2 PvP options.

  In third place is the new Wolverine uniform, which isn't seen too much these days, but still had the longest run as a legitimate Timeline meta for a few months.

  Sixth Man of the Year

  Gambit [X-Men Year-End Party]

  Gambit [X-Men Year-End Party]

  Captain America [What If... Zombies?!]
  Crescent [B-Girl Crew]

  The 6MOTY goes to the character that is best at one specific thing, but not that useful overall.

  The winner here is Gambit, who is amazing for his one ABL day but that's basically it. He can be decent in WBL too, but requires a proc C.T.P. which lowers his ABL performance.

  The runner-up is Zteve, who similarly can be amazing in WBL with an offensive build, and is also very good in OWB/AC if built accordingly.

  In third place is the first real Combat Female T4, Crescent. She actually isn't that good even just at ABX, but she gets credit for being the final T4 to fill every single ABX/L restriction.

  Rookie of the Year

  Leader [Modern]

  Leader [Modern]

  Franklin Richards [Modern]
  Sleeper [Modern]

  The ROTY goes to the best/most useful new character added during the year. Sadly the rookie class this year was very disappointing!

  It is with great sadness that we must present the ROTY award to fucking Leader because none of the other new characters had a general support. Thanks for nothing.

  In the runner-up spot we have Franklin, who is pretty strong for a Lv.70 and has his Artifact to boost his F4 squad. This was relevant in Otherworld for a little while. Maybe he will get a Tier-4 for the new film!

  In third place is Sleeper, who's a minor support in a Symbiote Otherworld team. That being said it looks very cool and has some sick animations so it's not all bad.

  Teammate of the Year

  Yondu [Summer Vacation]

  Yondu [Summer Vacation]

  Nick Fury [Secret Avengers]
  Red Hulk [Marvel Studios' Captain America: Brave New World]

  Teammate of the Year goes to the best support character. There were not a lot of options this year!

  First place is Yondu, who came out of nowhere and helped many a Gladiator hit the 12m ABL benchmark this summer. Bonus credits for turning a non-support into one of the best.

  Nick Fury gets a nod as expected, though his new uniform is not a huge improvement.

  Finally we have Red Hulk, who provides a nice support alternative to Abomination for ABL. A tight race between Red Hulk and Leader for the third place but ultimately we could not stomach putting Leader up for an award twice.

  Most Improved Player

  White Tiger [Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again]

  White Tiger [Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again]

  Yondu [Summer Vacation]
  Weapon Hex [Infected Bioweapon]

  Rather than having the MIP just be a combination of the above awards, we have chosen to give the MIP to the uniforms with the longest gap since the character's previous uniform. (Or when the character was added, if it is their first uniform.)

  The runaway winner is White Tiger, who took 8 years, 7 months, and 15 days off to complete his transition only to get shot in the head. Unlucky bro.

  Second place goes to Yondu who was last seen freezing to death in the cold vaccuum of space in his [Guardians of the Galaxy 2] uniform. 7 years and 12 days later he has returned from Tahiti with a fresh new fit and sunnies!

  Finally we have Weapon Hex, my hero, who at some point during a 6 year and 29 day absence, turned into a zombie. 🥴

  A full list of every uniform added this year, along with the time since last uniform, can be viewed in the card below.
