This new Electra opens up a whole new can of worms. She is the first Mind Control figure with 2 lightning bolts!!!!
There are no restrictions on mind control like there are on Range Combat Expert, so Electra can control 2 people at once! Oh, heck yeah! And since a multi attack is simultaneous, "Firelord, shoot at Bullseye, Bullseye shoot at Firelord.....Bullseye takes 5 clicks, Firelord takes 3 clicks, both get an action token" Worth 160 points? Oh yeah!

Who knows when she has that mind control tho?I would have to be after she'd be all stealthy (since they use the same slot), which I'm sure she'd have at the beginning, unless they scattered it about her dial. MC would prolly come later in the dial with a lower attack. While it says she has perplex down the entire dial, people like bullseye still have energy shield/deflection in addition to already nice defenses. I don't see it as being that big of a deal, or a gamebreaker. I still gotta go re-read those issues of the mini series an see exactly where that came into play....

If you're controlling both firelord and bullseye, they are both considered friendly figures and therefore cannot attack each other. It is a cool idea to be able to MC two figs but there may not be all that much call for it in tournaments for that reason. I could see more like- firelord walk up to hulk carrying dumpster, bullseye, shoot firelord, then hulk lays down the smackdown.
Another question, would she in the above, take a click of damage for the accumulated total of over 100 points in figures being MCed or is it over 100 points per figure. I believe it reads per figure, but I don't know if this has been ruled on yet.
edit. I checked and it says:
This character takes 1 click of damage for each 100 points of the target’s point value
Does the target mean both combined or each individual?
