and Iron Man needed the enhancing because he couldn't target the terrain with Ranged Combat Expert...

What? That's sucha a noob question. No jk. I also think of it as cover fire (Gotham PD, U-Men, Red Hood, Thor Chariot) but can also be leadership (Badoon Commander, Skrull emperor, Valkyirie) or magical increases to power.


No just kidding. It's actually them calling Chuck Norris and he comes running out and punches the target

For me, there's all kinds of things that Enchancement represents. As far as 'Covering Fire' or that kind of thing, imagine that in a round of Heroclix for you take a Ranged Combat Action requiring a roll, that means you're actually aiming, trying to hit the target.

With the 'covering fire' not needing that extra roll to damage, it's kind of like hiding behind a pillar and just shooting randomly or when the hero you are 'enhancing' is focusing on their target and you're just spraying bullets, lasers, etc. trying to give him a clear shot wihtout being fired at in return. That's also why it's +1 dmg, not +dmg based on the hero's dmg value that has enhancement.

in a way i see it more with Red Hood aka Joker than others. I mean a villain has the power or fear over his henchman and its his saying get back in there and kill the bat or i will shoot you. that as a henchman might pump you up a bit out of fear thereby allowing you more damage possibly

Except that the Red Hood (as introduced in Killing Joke) is a figurehead, not a real leader. He was there in the flashy costume to get the cops' attention, so that the real gang could get away.

That might be why the Red Hood has Enhancement; the good guys are so busy paying attention to the guy in the costume that they give the gang members a chance to make some easy shots.

Maybe that's the SP on the next Mr. Fantastic we get... +3 Enhancement
