Ok I know when carring another person you cant have that person carry another person or object. But if you use telekinesis could the person being moved carry an object?

Yes. If you have a Super Strength figure currently carrying an object next to a TKer, the TKer can move the other figure with the object. You will never have a case of trying to TK ot taxi a figure who is currently carrying another figure since carrying a figure can only happen during that move action and then the carried figure is dropped off.

I wasn't sure about the TK thing. I knew flying couldnt do it becuase you cant TK in the middle of the action.
:D

While we're on the subject ...

Say I have Quasar B2B with an opponent's Sabretooth who is Stealthed in a dumpster. What are my options?

1) Can I move the dumpster from the square? Even though it starts out as a close combat action, isn't moving the dumpster considered a ranged attack?

2) Can I move Sabes? If I can, would the fact that I have no clear line of fire to a square behind him (he's Stealthed), prevent me from moving him there?

3) If (1) is Ok, is there anything preventing me from hitting him with the dumpster?

Thanks

Moving an object/figure is a Close Combat action; attacking with an object is a Range Combat action.
You can move the Dumpster away & expose Sabretooth for others but you can't attack Sabretooth with it yet (no LoF due to stealth).

2) Can I move Sabes? If I can, would the fact that I have no clear line of fire to a square behind him (he's Stealthed), prevent me from moving him there?

When moving figures you ignore the TKed figure for LoF purposes (i.e. you lift him up then you determine where to put him).

3) If (1) is Ok, is there anything preventing me from hitting him with the dumpster?

No can do - to hit Sabretooth you have to make a range attack prior to lifting the Dumpster and his stealth blocks your Line Of Fire.

To recap:
Moving a figure/object is a close combat action - LoF is determined after you lift the figure/object up.
Attacking with a object is a range combat action - LoF is needed before lifting the object up.
