This week was a massive comeback for Team DC and both teams are only seperated by four points at the moment.
And as we had Penguin defeated last week by both Kates, this week both Christinas repeated the feat and brought down Penguin for their team. And the final knockout was delivered by Team Marvel's Karen.
In addition to that, Shawnie took the achievement for being the first player to recruit She-Hulk.
On Team DC we had the acievement bonanza. Dawn took the achievement for recruiting Hawkman first, proxyfish the one for being the first to recruit Firestorm and Melanie got it for being first to recruit Alfred Pennyworth.
DC's Kate also was the first player to defeat Mystique.
Team Marvel won the race to open the first portal this week with 2 Energy Cells to 1.
