I have been playing heroclix in a small group of four guys for two years and only recently began tournaments, and was shocked that i had been doing wildcards all wrong. I thought you gained the team ability but didn't join the team, but apparently that isnt true. So jsut to be clear can you cay "Yes" to these senarios with Doom

thanks in advance.

Assume Doom is only the Doom-Team member on the board

Doom can share his attack values with figures in Anti-Batman and Anti-Spiderman and they can share theirs with him?

Doom can share his defense values with figures in defenders and JSA and they can share theirs with him?

Doom can exchange clicks with Titans and X-Men?

Doom gains outwit when next to a member of superman enemies (lesser point of course) stands next to him?

Doom can use the FF TA (either of them) (i.e. he can use sue storms 19 defense the way the thing can?)

Hope that helps.

lol you might be confused because (normalview correct me if im wrong) you can only wildcard one thing per turn. you can't (in the same turn) wild care sinister syndicate, then go and exchange clix with an x-man. or, at least thats the answer i got when i asked a similar question.

The wildcard team ability states that "it can be used once each action."

Does this mean once each action the wildcard figure takes, in addition to the action itself? Or is the wildcard action the figure's action for that turn?

Or does it mean for each action taken by the wildcard's team for that turn? That really seems over the top to me, but stranger things have happened and all that.

Really give new meaning to the term wildcard abuse if true.

No, you can wildcard as much as you want in a turn. The only limit is you can only copy one TA at any given time. So you can't copy both Danger Girl *and* Mystics when someone attacks you, but you could copy Danger Girl for one attack, then Mystics for another attack.

It is per action. So when someone targets Doom with a ranged shot he can go all batman on them and get the Bat TA. Then when they get annoyed with that and charge and attack instead, he can switch to alternate FF and get Sue's lovely 19 defense.

This will change when icons comes out though.

Icons will redefine action slightly, saying that a Wildcard may change TA each action, but an action must be completed before the WC can change again. So the above scenario would leave doom locked in Bat TA until his enemy performed an action such as a charge, but after that he could switch to another TA is necessary.

I do want to mention though that WC are not considered actual members of the team they are wildcarding. So while A defender can share his defense with a wildcard piece, its because the WC is copying defenders during that action not because the WC has become a defender during that action. Up to now I have not seen a scenario where this actually matters but they go to great lengths to say it so I thought I'd mention it.

Wow, so it is per action, period. Well, that makes some beatings I've taken at the local venue much more clear.

Thanks much.

actually my confusion comes in the FAQs which states that a wildcard team copies the team ability but FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES remains the team on its base. We took that to mean that doom could (for instance) exchange clicks a la x-men with other doom members but not x-men since he doesnt actually JOIN the team

That line does seem to say that....

But everyone else seems to play the other way.

Its good to be the one at your venue to figure it out. You're gonna get to beat on people with it first

A few points:

The reason the rules say "but FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES remains the team on its base" is so that Doctor Doom can't copy X-Men, become an AE to a Sentinel, and score double VPs for KOing the Sentinel.

Also note that Wildcards can change TAs not just every action, but also at any time when the TA it may want to use could come into play. For example, before you or your opponent rolls for Earthquake BFC, all your Wildcards can declare Suicide Squad or Fantastic Four in case appropriate friendly characters are KO'd.
