So i've got a game coming up and one of my opponents is going to use The Wrecking Crew and their ATA. The ATA basically lets them use Improved Movement: Ignore Hindering (for this discussion).

I was going to field a team with Mysterio and his doubles.. and look forward to throwing down tons of smoke cloud, but that now strikes me as utterly useless against that ATA.

Unless i could Outwit it... was my first thought.

But you cant outwit team abilities, only powers/abilities they give possession of.

So here's my question.. Out of the five main members of the Wrecking Crew, only one (Bulldozer) has Improved Movement to begin with before the ATA allows use of it.

Would i only be able to outwit his (Bulldozer's) Improved Movement then? The others would only be using IM and never possessing it so it would not be outwittable.. which makes me want to rethink my team using Mysterio...

You could not counter the Improved Movement given by the ATA.

But could i outwit Bulldozer's Improved Movement?

You could, but he'd still be able to use the Improved Movement from the ATA. Countering it from his natural source wouldn't counter both sources.

The Smoke Cloud will still impose the -1 penalty to their attack values, which may not seem like much based on the Mysterios' 16 defense, but it might save your a few lumps. You're probably relying mostly on Super Senses though.

As long as you Outwit smart you'll be fine. If you've got a horde of Mysterios that fill out the point build your opponent is going to need Quake to deal with you. Keep your Mysterios spread out and keep his Quaking to a minimum with Outwit (I know you only get one per turn) and you'll be fine.
