I write too much.
I definitely agree on lifelead Joker being ridiculously good defensively (I've mentioned this before). Joker has a moveset that is extremely well suited for playing defensively, but without the lifelead there is very little reason for most characters to allow you to play defensively.
EDIT:
Steve0, what do you mean Zod has 50/50s? He has no standing overheads, so blocking low in close range makes it all reactable. The 50/50s only exist when trait is out, but they are dirty as hell (Or the crossup shenanigans with Zod balls, but those are moree gimmicky than anything.).
