Deadpool arrives with a new Team Up with Jeff the Land Shark. Jeff gains Jeff’s Cuddle Buddy ability through his Team-Up with Deadpool. As the Team-Up Anchor, Deadpool gains bonuses depending on what role he’s playing. This could make him a very good combo with Jeff, though we’ll have to see how powerful Cuddle Buddy is.
