Pros
- Her own thing and awesome, very fun to play.
- Three different cards that grow into different versions of Ironheart is extremely cool.
- High defense stats.
- Hand size increases significantly with higher versions, going up to six.
- Not useless while in alter ego form, can still remove threat and do some damage.
- Can do quick damage that doesn't matter if it's only two attack.
- Her ability to deal damage via progress counters is flexible and can target single enemies or multiple minions.
- Can play the waiting game and slowly thwart and do damage while building up.
- Upgrades like Photon Blasters and Propulsion Jets become extremely strong later on.
- Photon Blasters and Propulsion Jets provide a significant HP boost (up to 14 total).
- Photon Blasters deal damage equal to version number, Propulsion Jets remove threat.
- Can deal significant damage quickly, especially in higher versions.
- Leadership build allows spending cards on allies while in alter ego form.
- Photon Beam event can defeat enemies for multiple progress counters.
- Flyover event can remove last threat from a scheme for two progress counters.
- Significantly better than Iron Man because she doesn't feel weak until the suit is complete.
- Does not feel weak at all, can remove threat, take no damage, pull out allies, and then go all out.
- High potential damage output with combos like 'Go All Out' and buffs.
- Can deal 33-40 damage in an optimal scenario.
- Able to quickly remove threats.
- Has allies to tank for her.
- Can defend on her own.
- Has 'Go For Champions' card to prevent all damage.
- The complexity of the character and building the three suits is loved.
- Absolutely disgusting and super fun to play.
Cons
- Version one has a rough hand size of four.
- Needs 12 progress counters to reach version 3, which is not difficult but requires some effort.
- Can be very slow if progress generation is not achieved.
- Doesn't have the most health.
- Doesn't have the best way to draw cards (Tony Stark AI is the best found, others are minor).
- Sector Scan event card is 'whatever' and wished it was an upgrade.
- Cannot play 'Go All Out' if the lightning symbol requirement isn't met by spending resources.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Alter Ego Actions — Specific actions in alter ego form, like using Riri Williams to heal or gain progress counters, are important for her build-up.
- Buff Stacking — The potential to stack multiple buffs from allies and upgrades to significantly increase stats for powerful attacks like 'Go All Out'.
- Card Play Scaling — Upgrades like Photon Blasters and Propulsion Jets have effects that scale with Ironheart's current version number.
- Hero actions — Actions available in hero form, such as dealing damage by spending progress counters ('Maximum Efficiency') or using upgrades like Photon Blasters.
- Hero Transformation — Ironheart progresses through three distinct versions/suits by spending progress counters.
- progress counters — These counters are central to advancing through Ironheart's suit versions and are gained through various actions and card effects.
- Resource Generation — The ability to generate science resources, often via upgrades like Ingenuity, is crucial for placing progress counters.

Quotes (from this video)
- she is her own thing and she is awesome
- i think is extremely cool
- but you'll notice the hand size in this side is four
- which is why i like her significantly better than iron man because iron man is very useless until you get the super
- go all out is uh it's a requirement so you need a lightning symbol to spend it but as a hero action you can exhaust your hero so you exhaust iron heart to then deal damage to an enemy equal to your total thwart defense and attack
- that's insane that is absolutely disgusting
- i love the complexity of this character and building the three suits
- i think i'm going to give iron heart a 10.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a game I very much adore.
- It's my top 10 characters I enjoy playing. I feel good while I'm playing them. It has nothing to do with how powerful they are, how weak they are.
- They feel good to me. They feel like they're characters in many ways, the the the the comic characters they're attempting to represent.
- It feels broken a little bit.
- This is my top 10 heroes in Marvel Champions.
- It is just These are characters I very much enjoy bringing to the table, shuffling up and playing. They feel good to me.
- I love the idea of progression in Marvel Champions. That That feeling of your character getting better and better at whatever it is that they do.
- Ironheart, my number two, literally does this by upgrading her card, the card that represents you in the game, by taking her card here from version one of the Ironheart suit to version two, to eventually version three, which is tremendously overpowered basically.
- You're you're racing the villain to see who can outpace the other.
- The characters that play risky tend not to be my favorites. The characters that really tow the line where you're living dangerously for lack of a better term.
- My number one is the character that I guess the exception that proves the rule, let's call it, and it is also happens to be one of my favorite, thematically one of my favorite characters in the game, and that is Wolverine.
- Wolverine has an ability here where at the beginning of your round you get to heal two damage, which is tremendous, but the reason for that is because you're going to be taking a whole bunch of damage with your claws.
- this whole paying for cards things, that's for the birds. I'm going to live dangerously by spending my life total to be able to drop this card that costs four for free, and I still have all my cards left.
- It's insane, it feels tremendous.
- My favorite character in the game. That is Logan i.e. Wolverine.
