#049 Thanos
The second sentence of Teleport My Greatest Enemies reads: "Give Thanos a power action and place the two highest point value target opposing characters in squares adjacent to Thanos."

The difference is important because now, if three characters are in range and line of sight, he could simply choose to target the two lower value figures. He can choose not to target the third, higher point figure, right?
And now he is not limited to teleporting just the two highest point opposing figures on the board?
The power was just about broken before. Now its just about indecipherable.

As for Master Mold and the Sentinel thing.. There are plenty of times you might use the single action build power over the DPA version.. if you don't want to hit the "End" of the build dial too soon.. or if you only have certain sentinels..
I keep seeing this said and don't get it. There is no benefit to delaying spinning the dial. You can place any Sentinel up to the point vale on the dial (assuming other prereq's are met), so even if your dial is at 300 instead of 60, you can place the same 59 pt Omega Sentinel Prime.
So unless I'm missing something, I don't see how it's possible to "hit the End dial to soon." It doesn't limit you in any way whatsoever, it only adds possibilities.
I really like the Nova corp ATA, it doesn't help much if you are running a nova team but it's awesome to run them on anything else and some of those nova figs actually looked decent, much more attractive now at a reduced cost.
Nova Corps
Keyword(s): Nova Corps
Cost: -10*
Friendly characters ignore traits named "Share Through the Worldmind" possessed by friendly characters.
*(0 if the character doesn't posses a trait named "Share Through the Worldmind")
As FF Nova is the only one without a Worldmind (his is an SP, and doesn't have the right name) he will not benefit from the -10 pt cost.
Bah, couldn't read the fine print. Thanks for the correction.

The New FF TA is fantastic, The Order is also fantastic, Nova Corps making some of their heavier guys cheaper making them better secondary attackers is cool (although I really wish I could give -10 points to Airwalker... Dude's a beast.). The rest are useful, but nothing to write home about. Although, the Infinity Watch ATA just screams "BUILD AROUND ME!" It would be much better if you could have more than one gem on your force.

LOF or range has *nothing* to do with Thanos' special power. Just because the word "target" appears in the text doesn't mean there's any such requirement to the power unless it's also stated. The *only* thing that's changed with the power is that it's now affected by First Turn Immunity. That is all.

The fact that his power now targets opposing characters means it's subject to first round immunity.
