G: Here’s a clean list (max 20) of MPQ characters whose powers either generate Red AP or convert tiles to Red. I’ve kept each entry compact and cited the specific power details.

Cyclops (Uncanny X-Men, 3★) — Plan B (Yellow) converts Team-Up tiles to Red. citeturn1search3

Iron Man (Hulkbuster, 4★) — Overdrive (Black) gains Red AP; Hulk-Proof (Blue) converts Green to Red. citeturn7view0
Iron Man (Model 40, 3★) — Recharge (Yellow) places countdowns that restore Red AP (and other colors) when they expire. citeturn6search0

Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes, 4★) — Hell Ride makes Repeaters that repeatedly destroy Red/Green/Black tiles; destroyed tiles grant AP (thus including Red). citeturn9search14

If you want, I can sort this by star-tier, add cover-level breakpoints (e.g., Miles needing 4–5 covers for Red AP), or trim to just “strict conversions to Red” vs. “any Red AP generation,” depending on how you plan to build teams.
