He won't. Almost every character with "trigger when attacked" abilities in PVP trigger about 90 percent of the time in PvP when the AI is running them (when they're defending, in other words). Pretty sure it's Playdom's way of compensating for the AI not being as "smart" as a human opponent, but either way it's painfully clear that the AI gets the triggers WAY more often than live players. Basically for the AI if it says "chance to" you may as well read "will happen almost every time."

It's not just exclusive to the Mk 42, in other words. Now if that stuff was popping every time when YOU were playing him? Yeah, I'd expect a nerf. Though Playdom doesn't seem to big on nerfs from what I've seen.

And on that side note: Yep, the Mk 42 and Iron Patriot are vast improvements on their originals. Not only new "costume abilities" but heavily buff up the regular powers of both characters, to boot (for example, Iron Man's missile barrage inflicts both Burning -and- bleeding with the Mk. 42).

They also work very well in conjunction with each other. As far as PvP goes...if I recall correctly War Machine's Plasma Blade now gains the ability to bypass resurrection effects...He's a Phoenix/Wolverine/Ghost Rider killer.
