Adamantium Reward: A-Bomb
Bio: Always a rebellious youth, Rick Jones accepted a dare to enter an abandoned testing ground for atomic bombs. Little did he know the area was still in use and would be the testing ground for Bruce Banner's new gamma bomb. Saved from the explosion by Bruce Banner who would turn into the Hulk as a result, Rick followed Banner as a trusted assistant and friend, even able to calm his alter-ego while he was enraged. Rick also served as the side-kick to Captain America and would later trade places with Captain Mar-vell and Mar-vell's son, Genis-vell. Recently, Rick was abducted by the Leader and M.O.D.O.K. who used the Abomination's DNA to transform him into A-Bomb.

Stamina Changes in PvP
Stamina Bonuses have been removed from Armory and Hero Bonuses. This is due to the scaling of stamina bonuses from armory and hero bonuses in pvp. This balance change to stamina will make heroes that take extra turns run out of stamina much faster and will have to recharge much sooner while also making stamina draining effects more useful in pvp. We believe these changes will bring more balance to pvp and improve the player experience.
