Jessica's polycule in the Bay
Credit: This deck was greatly inspired by @HeroicSkeleton's Hanging Bae deck.
Jessica's life is pretty great! She loves her work, she loves her husband (Luke Cage), and she loves her friends (Rogue and Clea). And they all love Jessica in turn. Luke and Clea are willing to step in front of a bullet for Jessica (literally), and Rogue will knock anyone out to thwart any villain's schemes if they mess with her lady friend.

This deck aims to have the following 3 allies set up as fast as possible:
- Luke Cage) + Hangar Bay + Med Team - this allows you to block an attack and get another tough status card on Luke, so you can continuously block every round.
- Clea + Calling in Favors- an inexpensive chump blocker that can be tutored for free (costing only 2 evidence counters) with Calling in Favours
- Rogue + X-Mansion - Rogue can thwart for 5 or attack for 4, and be kept alive all game long.
I tend to prioritize getting Calling in Favors and Hangar Bay into play as soon as possible.
While you're setting up this board state, leverage Jessica's 3 THW as much as you can.
As mentioned in the credit at the start of this write-up, @HeroicSkeleton's Hanging Bae deck. Check out his guide for most of the details.
I played a few games with it and it was very good at keeping Jessica alive. However, I felt like I wasn't contributing enough to controlling the board; especially with waiting for Hulk to get enough rage counters (and how do you know when you have "enough" to start attacking with him? lol).
In the interest of prioritizing board control in the early-to-mid game, rather than the late game, I swapped out Hulk for Rogue. Rogue gives you the flexibility to thwart for 5 or attack for 4 damage.
Jessica's 4K Digital Camcorder is also a useful upgrade to help clear the board of minions.
