Flyer carrying object and person carrying object?

[Pandaro]

Simple enough, but I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ. If a flyer has super strength, he can carry a person and an object. Can the person being carried also be carrying an object?

Ex. Green Goblin is carrying a heavy object and Doc Samson. Can Doc Samson also be carrying an object while he is being carried?

Also, if a character has Running Shot, can they pick up an object and throw it as part of a Running Shot?

A flyer can't carry someone who is holding an object.
you can pick up an object during a runnig shot and throw it.

[Canada Maestro]

A person holding an object can not be carried by a flier (but can be TKed).

Yes, a character can pick up an object and throw it in one action if they have running shot.

My understanding is you can carry a dumpster and a Doc Samson, but not Samson carring a dunpster. I have no clue why you can do one but not the other...personally I don't think you should be able to carry more than one thing/character at a time. Why not taxi two characters at once if a dumpster and a chracter is legit?
Any way as I understand it...flyer with strength can carry a dumpster in one hand and a Doc Samson in the other, but no similar combinations.:confused:
But I have frequently been wrong in the past, hope this doesn't confuse things too much.

The answer can be found in the Rulebooks page 12

"Carrying other Figures: Flying characters may carry other friendly characters. There is no cost for picking up a figure, though a flying character must be in hover mode in order to pick up a figure. To be carried, a friendly character must be adjacent to the flying character at the beginning of the flying character’s move. During the move action, count the flier’s
movement squares as normal, including flight mode changes. At the end of the move, the flying character must be in hover mode, and must place the carried character in an adjacent open square. Flying figures can carry other flight-capable figures.
A carrying character cannot carry a figure who is carrying someone else or
holding an object. The flying character receives an action token, but the carried character does not. The carried character may still be assigned any type of action after being set down."

That opens an interesting question - Could a char. with Green lantern Team ability do it? If they can carry up to 8 chars., why not carry 5 with 1 or 2 objects?

I know that the rules are clear on carrying, buy what happens when you get a flier that can carry more than 1 other char??

IF they change the ruling on this, does this mean that the GL member could go around, scooping up all of the objects on a map?

In order to carry an object you have to have Super Strength. So if a GL figure has Super Strength he could carry upto 8 figures and 1 object as per the rules.
