I know Batman can incapacitate 2 different figures,and Ultron can fire 2 energy explosions a 2 different figures.Can E Pyro shoot off 2 barriers.Also you might laugh but is there a turn sequence that must be followed.As in Move first,range,than close??Or is it simply preform any one of those actions at any time.Thanks in advance.

Barrier is a Move action, so Pyro can only put up one Barrier. Also, he can only perform one action in one turn. Either move, attack, or put up a Barrier. If he does something the next turn too, he would push to perfom that action and take a click of damage.

Thanks Funky.My question about turn sequence though.Example:400 pt game.On my turn I intend to move 2 guys,range combat with 1,and close combat with 1.Can I move 1 guy,than close combat the next,than move my 3rd,and finally range with my forth.Or is it Move-Range-Close as in I would have to move both guys first,than do my range attack,than my close??I know it sounds like a silly question but a guy we play with comes up with some crazy stuff.I wonder if he's just makeing it up sometimes.

The answer is no. You can do whatever you want. When you assign a character an action, you can either give him a move, attack, or pass action. Any order. None of this crud about move, ranged, close. He obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Therefore he should be smote. Preferably in a game of heroclix.

Thanks Link.I thought it sounded bogus.Since there are several people online can I get some thoughts or suggestions on this.I'm playing in my first tournament tommorow.Its a 200 pt Marvel.The team I'm thinking of useing is
R Firelord 66---U Wasp 44--E Pyro 35--E BlackPanther--E AIM Medic
Basic strategy is to fly FL into range with wasp.Have pyro barrier around FL and make them take their chances with hitting wasp.If I get my leadership roll run Panther up to a strategically placed item and have him stealth and outwit.Next turn blast away with FL and depending on what I'm faceing have wasp push and scoot FL away and with leadership roll,try to heal the pushed wasp.Any thoughts and always open for suggestions for a better team.

seriously not to feel stupid, but hold on...batman can incapacitate two at once?, and ultron can do two energy explosions?? these obviously can't be the only two who can perform these actions, but can someone please explain to me why they can do this. i'd apreciate it. obviously i've been playing wrong and not using full abilities. i'm pissed, i need to know now. THANKS

Because the lightning bolts symbolize the number of attacks a person can make.When my question was answered it became clear to me that when Funky said its "a move".So i'm going to assume that any power located in the attack slot ,and only the attack slot,can be used as many times as the person has lightning bolts.V ultron looks pretty sweet with that 3 lightning bolt energy explosion ,and a 13 attack huh???Especially if someone is in a cluster formation.

Look at their stats. They have 2 lightning bolts (and Vet Ultron has 3!), which represent the number of targets they can hit. Anyone with more than one lightning bolt can target multiple figures. From the FAQs --

"Multiple Ranged Combat Targets

The number of lightning bolt symbols indicates the maximum number of TARGETS your character may attack with a single ranged combat action. Your figure is not making multiple attacks, but is making a single attack against multiple targets."

There are a lot of additional rules on multiple targets, so please check the Rules and the FAQs.

You better believe that, my friend! Imagine...

678

where 1-8 are figures, I is rookie Invisible Girl (not in Stealth mode, but sharing her defense), and U is veteran Ultron on elevated terrain. Target the middle row, 4 I 5, and imagine this...
Figures 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 8 each take 2 clicks of damage
Figures 2, 7, & I each take 3 clicks of damage
Then imagine you upped Ultron's damage by using the SHIELD team ability! Very nasty!
