So I just needed clarification on word bubbles.. while I read word bubbles can't be outwitted, I also read possession of a power on a bubble can be outwitted.. I guess I just needed it explained differently cause it sounds contradictory..

A possessed power can be outwitted, a power that Deadpool can use cannot be outwitted.

I think that's what you were getting at.

So put basically, the card wording for 'possess' & 'can use' is the separating factor on whether it may be outwitted.

Correct! It's a fiddly game element that's a bit annoying when you're starting out. However the line in Outwit states: "... counter a power or a combat ability possessed by a single target."

This why you can't Outwit 99% of Trait powers as they're generally "can use" powers.

Very helpful.. thanks so much..

If only it was explained that simply, the game would flow much easier..

Yes this would address a lot of problems with heroclix, then if they worked on there QC they would almost be golden

Just curious, but did you check the rule book? That explanation is in there (page 18):

USE AND POSSESS
A character possesses a power or ability if that power is printed on their dial in the form of a white or colored square, or if an icon granting that ability is printed on their base. A character may also possess a power or ability if a special power or trait ability states that they “have” or “possess” that power or ability.
A character uses a power if a special power or an ability states that they “can use” or “uses” that power.
A power or combat ability that is possessed by a character can be countered. A power or ability that is only used by a character can’t be countered, though often the power or ability granting use of that power can be countered instead.

Yes.. that's why it confused me..

Why? What part of that was confusing?

Most of it to me..

Okay... but why? I am trying to understand what you feel is the difference between:

And:

Is the use of the word "counter" in the RB description? Something else?

It's the fact that it is restated as simple as possible.. opposed to the explanation which was longer (and to me more difficult) can't counter the power used and then adding though power / ability granting use..
Idk , I just didn't really get it until it was simplified.. same reason Character A & Opposing Character descriptions confuse me.. I have to insert the names to not get confused..
