How do team abilities work and when can you use them? Do all characters on your team have to have the same team symbol on their dial or can any character use the team ability for the team symbol on their dial?

Whatever team ability a character has is the one they can use. Wildcards such as Dr. Doom or Calculator can copy a team ability of another friendly character at certain times during your turn.

So any character on your team can use whatever team ability they have on their dial?

That's correct. If Batman has Batman, he can use Stealth. If Magneto has Brotherhood, then he can move without it counting towards your total actions. If you play Spider-Man with his Wildcard TA, you could copy Brotherhood on your turn and then at the end of your turn declare Batman Ally so that Spidey got himself some Stealth.

Thanks for the info.

First of all, welcome to the game, and welcome to HCRealms!

The information on Team Abilities is found on Pages 17 & 18 in the 2012 Rulebook.


Finally, just so you know, in the future, I'd recommend "How does this work" threads go in the Rules Forum -- there are official Rules Deputies in there that can provide official answers to all your questions. (And if you search the Rules Forum, there's a good chance that your question has already been answered.)
