What if we had a "Pass" button to skip a turn?
Sometimes you don't want to attack since an enemy might retaliate, buff themselves up, or debuff you.
Would this change the game for the better?

Some toons have a no damage move. Not doing damage is part of the strategy of the game. For instance, BF would be much less useful if his "lesser" TMD move did damage. I get the desire for a pass button when you realize you have no choice, but to activate Arkkis or Barda - but it is all part of the challenge.

The better question is “would the AI ever pass?” Since the AI is generally shit, I’m guessing it never would... which would be an advantage to human players over AI... on top of hero selection pre-matches... so my bet says it won’t happen.

It would be the same if you could sell characters you didn’t want anymore. It would be awesome

Sadly no, because then you would negate the entire purpose of retaliation toons. Oh I don't want to anger Arkkis? I'll just skip my turn until my strong blue can go.
I agree it would be nice but then half the roster is unusable
I get what you're saying but it worked for another superhero game. If you skip a turn another enemy can go and there's the risk of losing a teammate waiting for Mr. Blue or another toon. Anything could happen, say you skip a turn and the enemy regains a taunt. Then you could be screwed. It may negate a retaliation toon at times, but skip is like saying "gee I'm stunned." So won't always work.
The times I've wanted to pass was when I don't want to give an enemy negative turn meter so DI can fall off. Like vs Stupes.
It would be a big change but I'm hoping it would bring some balance back since more than half the roster is already unusable.
For example if we could bring more of the "squishy" characters into PvP since the enemy Arkkis, Harley Quinn, and Azrael would be less of a threat.
You said something exactly correct so the Developers Downvote Brigade descended on you. This game would benefit from this change when the developers create annoying characters like Azrael, Arkiss, and Big Barda who by themselves or some combination of them force you to use the same characters over and over.
