Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Peni Parker beats easily

The Thing A slow brawler who has to cross her denial zone loses health before he arrives.
Hulk Same problem: area denial punishes any direct approach without a jump or special mobility.
Groot In a zone-control duel, her turrets sustain more constant pressure than his wall.

🔴 Peni Parker struggles against

Spider-Man Vertical mobility dodges the denial zone and goes straight for her turrets.
Iron Man Ranged damage takes out her turrets before they can do their control job.
Storm She can skip the zone through the air and pressure from an angle Peni doesn't cover.
