RULES:
1) Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
2) Opposites Rules Apply. If you were to copy the solution of the sudoku and rotate it 180 degrees, the overlapping cells would sum to 10. This rule does not apply to digits on the diagonal line. Please note that digits may repeat on the diagonal line. See example here
3) Standard Kropki Rules Apply. Cells separated by a black dot have a 1:2 ratio, and cells separated by a white dot are consecutive. Not all possible kropki dots are given.
4) Standard Thermometer Rules Apply. Digits strictly increase starting from the bulb end of the thermometer.
5) Standard Killer Sudoku Rules Apply. Digits in cages must not repeat. Cage totals are not given and finding the totals is not necessary for the solution of this sudoku.
This puzzle was made for the monthly puzzle prompt on the Cracking the Cryptic Discord Server, "Superheroics." This one is pretty easy once you get your head wrapped around the rules. Hopefully you have fun with this puzzle!
Solution code: Row 7, Column 9

I came back to this puzzle for weeks. Had a few problems with it, but finally got it. First i wasn't sure, what the yellow square was for (answer: style), then I always assumed the diagonal constraint was in place (should have read the rules properly I guess -.-).
On my (final) attempt I was confused, because the time didn't stop, so I thought, something must be wrong (it wasn't).
That was quite a journey.

Wow, I really struggled with that. A few times I reflected the same number, instead of its complement :-(
Also, I didn't realize that Highlight Conflicts was turned off (for the diagonal).
Nice resolve for the deadly pattern at the end.
Thank you for your words Ryx :) I hope you enjoyed your journey to the solution!
