What’s big, green, and angrier than a toddler who just lost their balloon? That’s right—Abomination!
Emil Blonsky, aka Abomination, is ready to settle his beef with the Hulk and prove once and for all that he is the strongest one there is! Let’s dive into why this gamma-powered powerhouse is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
Gamma Gone Wrong: The Origin of Abomination
Emil Blonsky wasn’t always an enormous green rage monster. Once upon a time, he was a spy infiltrating the U.S. Air Force base where Dr. Bruce Banner was experimenting with—you guessed it—gamma radiation. One not-so-lucky accident later, Blonsky found himself drenched in gamma rays, but unlike Hulk, who can flip between man and monster, Abomination is stuck in his oversized, scaly form. This means he’s constantly on display as a terrifying, radioactive brute.
Abomination’s monstrous appearance doesn’t just frighten civilians; it also fuels his deep-seated jealousy and hatred toward the Hulk. After all, Hulk can at least pretend to be normal sometimes. Blonsky? Not so much. His rage, along with his now-monstrous exterior, makes him act, well, a lot like a monster.
Why Villains Love Having Abomination on Speed Dial
If you’re an evil mastermind looking for muscle, Abomination is your guy. He’s one of the few beings strong enough to go toe-to-toe with the Hulk—and trust me, he’s always down to throw some punches at that big, green giant. Sure, he’s ended up doing the dirty work for various villains over the years, but when your fists are the size of boulders, what else are you gonna do?
But Abomination isn’t just about brute strength. Oh no, he’s got a nasty surprise up his sleeve—he emits toxic gamma radiation that can literally melt his enemies. Don’t forget your hazmat suit if you’re thinking about crossing him!
Smash, Punch, Repeat: Abomination’s Skills in Action
Abomination may not be exactly on par with the Hulk (he’s got a Threat Value of 5, after all), but he’s still one heck of a powerhouse. His 7-dice Strike with a size-unrestricted Push is basically like throwing a small car at your enemies. Not too shabby for a guy who looks like he skipped leg day but definitely didn’t skip the gamma-radiation buffet.
With solid defensive stats, 7 stamina on both his healthy and injured sides, and the ability to reduce damage thanks to his Gamma Mutated Hide, he’s built to take hits and keep on smashing. Position him right, and he’s a nightmare to deal with. The best part? If he’s hit hard enough, he generates more power to return the favor.
The Only Problem? Abomination Needs Some Juice
The downside to being a green wrecking ball is that sometimes, Abomination has to spend precious actions moving into position. If he doesn’t have enough power to throw his Gamma Bomb, he might end up walking instead of smashing. Tragic, I know. Luckily, he’s got a medium move and a big ol’ base, so he’s not exactly crawling across the battlefield.
Also, if you thought you could just run away from him when he’s low on power—think again! He gets extra power every time he’s damaged. Plus, he can chuck debris at people when he’s just 1 power away from unleashing his devastating Gamma Bomb. Spoiler: the 8-dice attack hits harder than a truck full of bricks.
I’m the Strongest There Is! (No, Really!)
Abomination isn’t just about smashing people directly—he can also threaten the whole board by tossing terrain around like it’s made of cardboard. Have an enemy hiding behind a wall? Not for long. With his ability to literally throw the scenery at his enemies, he can clear house and claim the title of the strongest there is, at least in his own mind.
Radiation Zone? Yeah, that’s where things get real spicy. With his massive base and range, Abomination can slap the Poison condition on everyone in the area. And don’t sleep on that second application of Radiation Zone—because two un-reducible damage is no joke. Keep your distance, or you’ll be KO’d faster than you can say “Gamma Burst.”
Gamma Burst: AKA, “Big Green Moves Fast”
Abomination’s Gamma Burst isn’t just a big, flashy explosion—it’s also a great way to throw enemy characters into worse positions. Picture this: enemies think they’ve got the objective locked down, and then BAM! Gamma Burst sends them flying. Abomination strolls in, and suddenly, your opponent’s plan is in shambles. It’s not just strong; it’s hilarious.
Partnering Up with M.O.D.O.K.: Brains Meet Brawn
We all know Abomination is the brawn, but who’s the brains? Enter: M.O.D.O.K.! That giant-headed genius can quite literally toss Abomination into any problem that needs solving. And while Abomination might take a little damage from the collision, it’s a small price to pay for smashing things up close and personal.
Abomination and M.O.D.O.K. both share Criminal Syndicate and Hydra Affiliations, making them a dream team for anyone who enjoys villainous hijinks. Whether you’re building a squad of baddies or just need a Hulk-sized wrecking ball, Abomination’s got your back—and your front, and probably your side, too.
Teaming Up with Hydra and the Wrecking Crew
Abomination pairs nicely with the Wrecking Crew and makes a perfect addition to Hydra under Baron Strucker’s leadership. Strucker’s Deathsport Virus superpower doesn’t affect Abomination, which means you can spread Poison to your enemies while keeping your big green monster safe. And with the added survivability from Abomination’s Poison application, you’ve got a beast that can stick around and keep causing mayhem for a long time.
Final Thoughts: Add Abomination to Your Squad and Smash Your Way to Victory
If your team needs a tough, reliable bruiser who won’t go down without a fight, Abomination is your guy. He’s not just a threat—he’s the threat. With his defensive stats, Gamma Mutated Hide, and the ability to deal massive damage, he’s a force to be reckoned with. Plus, his durability means he’s less likely to get knocked out early, ensuring that he can keep throwing punches all game long.
So, what are you waiting for? Get Abomination on your squad and show Hulk who’s really the strongest one there is!
