--Previous Message-- I'm still partial to a class 100, ionic version of the Human Torch. I just think he would be almost unstoppable if, in ionic form, he could shoot energy blasts, throw balls of ionic energy or if gang tackled...an ionic super nova throwing everyone 100 yards away! You could even build a weakness in saying the more ionic energy he disperses, the weaker he becomes because it would be like you and me losing blood. He would need a little time after a long EP battle to regain his full strength, as we do after giving blood. This could be...say...Mitchel's way of having Simon only using EP when he must. And not only would I keep that "Ionic Touch" he used on Ultron but I would have him be able to siphon ionic energy from people like Atlas and Count Nefaria, making him even stronger when he fights or is around them.(Okay, this isn't a must...but I thought I'd throw it in there!) If Wondy had the abilities I suggested, he wouldn't have gone down so easily in "World War Hulk"...if at all!

: teleport to any location that has been

This approach would certainly fit in with today's Marvel U with almost all the heroes working with SHIELD and all.
