Ok gideon can only take standard powers, but I'm not sure exactly what that means. Nightcrawlers teleportation evacuation is a special power that gives him some standard powers like hypersonic speed and stealth, am I right? Does it still count as a standard power when gideon is trying to use his wild genetic template power?

For starters please quote the powers.
" WILD GENERIC TEMPLATE: Once during your turn, as a free action you may choose a standard power possessed by another character within 5 squares. Roll a d6. If the number of squares to the character is less then the result, Gideon can use that power and possesses that character's range value until your next turn."


He would not be able to copy powers that are part of a Special Power because they are not possessed, unless the power states that they possess that power.
