URU METAL: When Absorbing Man is dealt damage or healed, roll a d6. Absorbing Man ignores the damage dealt or healed unless it is the same as the result of the d6. This power can't be countered or ignored.

NEUTRALIZER GUN: When Forge hits an opposing character with a ranged combat attack, before damage is dealt, choose a power that character can use. That character can't use that power or any combat or team abilities until your next turn.

Can Forge use Neutralizer gun on Uru Metal? I'm just curious if "can't use" is the same as "countered"?

thanks,

"Can't use" is different than "countered."

When Forge hits Absorbing Man, Absorbing Man feels it.

See also: Bard the Bowman, "Outback" Hulk, Malekith, Iron Paladin, and something else I'm forgetting.

Scarlet Spider?

LEDGE DANGLE: SPILL YOUR GUTS OR TAKE THE FALL?: When Scarlet Spider occupies the rim of elevated terrain and hits an opposing character with a close combat attack, after actions resolve, that character's controller chooses one: that character can't use any powers or abilities until your next turn; or that character rolls a d6 and on a result of 1-3 deal that character 2 unavoidable damage, 4-6 deal that character 1 unavoidable damage.

Not what I was thinking, but damn. He'd hurt Absy bad.

I have used Scarlet Spider on many occasions on the right map he can really bust figures way more then his point cost.

One other piece that can nail pieces with "can't use" is Scarlet Witch and Wonder Man.

ASM Demogoblin.

REPENT!
When Demogoblin hits an opposing character and actions resolve, that character's controller chooses one: give that character two action tokens, or that character's defense powers are countered until your next turn.

But he just counters.

Carrion.

ROTTING TOUCH
Carrion can use Eploit Weakness. When he does and hits, until your next turn the hit character can't use defense powers except Super Senses.

Theres the cant use!

Oh yeah, Carrion is also a great sneak attack piece. A lot people don't see him being that effective but he can be game changing up close. Its just getting him there takes forever.

Not to mention he has maximum carnage

-When a single opposing character takes damage from an attack by a character using this team ability, after actions resolve, choose another opposing character adjacent to the first. That other character is dealt damage equal to the amount of damage taken. Uncopyable.

Love, Forge. Next time I see Absorbing Man I am throwing Scarlet Spider at him.
