At the most recent tournament I played at, the parameters were 300 points, marvel, modern age. A guy there mentioned something about being able to use perplex with characters with the scientist keyword. I have not seen anything about this any of the rules. Can anyone shine light on this?

It is a play with the Mr. Fantastic and his ability to perplex characters he has a keyword in common with him. Scientist is one of his keywords, and it allows a +2 for them.

(Speed) Pliable: Mr. Fantastic can use Leap/Climb and Plasticity

(Defense) Ductile: Mr. Fantastic can use Super Senses and Barrier (as if he had a range of 0). When a Barrier terrain marker placed by Mr. Fantastic is destroyed, roll a d6; on a result of 1, deal 1 damage to Mr. Fantastic.

(Damage) Inventive Genius: Mr. Fantastic can use Perplex, but he can modify the target's combat values by +2 or -2 if he is targeting himself of another character with which he shares a keyword.

Ok thanks. The person was playing with that Mr. Fantastic. I just thought I overheard him say it applied to all scientists. He was one of those people.

The undersea fish people?!

No one ever respects Atlanteans. That's why Atlantis Attacked.

Add brilliant tactician feat to Mr. Fantastic and he can perplexing ALL of the characters on your force that share his keyword instead of just one!
