I'm having a ton of fun with her + Colossus. Between the two of them, you have everything but green active covered. Tossing her into the air with fastball special (5) to have her land, do damage and use her aggressive recon (5) is just devastating to the other team. It's a 50% chance since her third skill is passive, and a free heal from landing is not bad either.

I got hit with a couple of 5 and 4 match cascades, and things were looking pretty bad because the enemy was pretty close to some pretty devastating skills. I had just gotten 11 pink, so I used aggressive recon to steal 4 from each, which gave me enough black to toss her into the air. When she landed next turn, I got to steal 4 more from each. The 8 blue I got was a free heal, and pretty much all other skills were charged too, with the exception of aggressive recon, which was at 8 again. You get the picture. If the match I had made on the turn I tossed her into the air was pink, I could have stolen 12 AP from all colors in 2 turns. Hard to recover from that.

The kicker is that the third character can be any good green/yellow (since Colossus yellow is situational) like Thor or Ares who can deal a lot of pain with all the AP you steal. The only sub-optimal thing about this pairing is that Colossus' black is stronger than OBW's. So you don't steal black with her passive to get faster fast ball specials. But who cares, it's a small price to pay. All your AP are belong to me.
