Hey, this is my first time posting questions here so please be gentle :)
Ok so we played a game over the weekend and two seperate questions came up...
First was about SI Doom. His Damage SP reads:
POWERLESS: Doom can use Outwit. When Doom uses Outwit, he can use it normally, or choose to counter all powers or all abilities of a target character 6 or fewer squares away.
So does that mean all of the powers that are showing on the dial at the time that Powerless is used, or is it all of the powers even if the character is attacked and the dial changes to new abilities and powers.
Second is about the starter set Mr Fantastic and using Brilliant Tactician. The prereq for Brilliant Tactician is Outwit and Perplex. I've seen all over the boards where people say to use it on Mr Fantastic but he doesn't have "perplex" but a special ability that allows him to use perplex. His SP reads:
INVENTIVE GENIUS: Mr. Fantastic can use Perplex, but he can modify the target's combat values by +2 or -2 if he is targeting himself of another character with which he shares a keyword.
The debate during the game was that Mr Fantastic doesn't have the Perplex prereq but a SP that says he can use perplex. My question would be, is having perplex and having a SP that allows you to use perplex the same thing?
