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).

🟢 Thor beats easily

Iron Fist Raw brawling and high health almost always win the direct melee trade.
Daredevil Same toughness problem for a melee diver with no way to sustain the fight.
Squirrel Girl He can soak up her constant harassment without her ever pushing him out of the fight.

🔴 Thor struggles against

Namor Shield-breaking and zone control force him to fight far from where he wants to be.
Hela Anti-heal shuts off his melee sustain right when he needs it most.
Storm Sustained aerial pressure wears him down from a zone his limited dive can't reach well.
