hypersonic speed/super strength

[lancelot]

suppose OWAW superman is taxied by Booster Gold, he then announces he is using his HSS for Ranged Combat, I hit for 3 damage, I then run away the full 11 spaces of OWAW supes.

My question is, can I carry Booster Gold back with me during HSS?

What of heavy/light objects, especially when he still has Super Strength?

is carrying/picking anything up during HSS legal?

thanks!

Sorry you can't attack & taxi during a HSS move. You can pick up objects on a hit & run attack though.

You can use HSS to carry someone (i.e. go around opponents without stopping) but you have to chose between pure movement HSS and attack HSS when taxiing someone.

Objects are fair game & you can pick them up before & after a hit & run HSS attack.

double_a... can't you also use an object on the first attack of a non-moving HSS attack?

ok i tend to parrot the rules just so i really do understand them...I can use an attack with HSS and pick up either a light or heavy object before or after the attack, but I cannot pick someone up before or after a HSS attack? if so, it really makes sense, keeps HSS under rein in terms of power...

funkyjett, yes you can have an object for the first part of the punching bag HSS attack, whether you hit or miss, it is then removed from battle field, and you can continue from there

Funky Jett - yes you certainly can use an object in the non-moving HSS attack but obviously you would have to already have picked up the object on a prior move.
It adds to the first attack roll and then is removed (or placed adjacent if its the 3D dumpster).


lancelot - sounds like you got it. Here's the relevant FAQ entry:
"Fliers cannot carry friendly figures with them if the flyer chooses to use Hypersonic Speeds option to both move and attack in the same action."
