Daredevil

Not the Daredevil Hero you want, but the Daredevil ally you need. 3 ER for 2 thwart and a chump block is very strong and an almost auto include in every Protection deck. Very strong against the second stage of Ultron as you can block and not take damage to kill the drone minions he makes. Pretty good art even if I’ve never met the character before.

The card itself is fine. It's a good cheap way of getting confusion in an event. Remember that in terms of pure ER, Sonic Rifle gets you more bang for your buck, only taking up a single deck slot to confuse twice. 4-ER to confuse a villain twice is better than 2-ER to confuse a villain once WITH A DOWNSIDE.

Sonic Rifle does have downsides of its own though. It's restricted, so it doesn't work with characters who want to play a lot of other weapons. And a 2-ER card is just simpler to play than a 4-ER one.

What I love most about this card though is the theme. How it encapsulates when a hero does something nice for the villain, maybe saving their life, leading to that "why did you help me?" moment. Even if it's not the world's best card, it is one of the coolest aspect events in terms of flavor.

Everyday Hero

Its read like: while you are in alter-ego, lose this card to another player and heal him by 1.

Restrictful use, almost negligible effect; quite more like a filler for decks that needs them, and even questionable in these situations.

You are basically restricting yourself from having a playable card instead. Just a plain .

One neat thing about this card is it's one of the few weapons that doesn't have Restricted and it isn't limited to allies only. It makes it an excellent inclusion for decks using Firepower or Fusillade or other cards that need a weapon to exhaust. Slap it on to Hawkeye or Winter Soldier or any other S.H.I.E.L.D. hero with weapon combos and you can get 3 weapons out without needing a Side Holster.

Ingenuity

An excellent complement to Honed Technique (Nova 17); this card guarantees that upgrade’s effect to trigger. Since the maximum benefit of Honed Technique comes with more expensive attack events (ie., Dive Bomb), having a card that both generates a resource and guarantees a damage boost is huge.
