Point. Although why wait for another turn when I can put a Mind Controller on my team and Compel him to Flurry/BCF again?

Touché!
And Wolverine does have 2 consecutive clicks of Flurry/BCF, so there's potential to push him next round for another round of slashing fun...

I really hope none of the guys at my venue are planning this sort of thing, I have no idea how I would fight it, and I don't have the figs to pull it off :-P

MC dude. I did it tonight. Just be a bit more aggressive with your MC piece and use that Wolverine to attack Colossus before he can FS. Though in the case of our game it was dual Echos instead of Wolverine.

Does the Outsiders ta work on special powers too?

It works on powers and team abilities.
Special powers are powers, so they are affected as well, at least until we get an errata/clarification stating that only standard and named powers are affected (which I think is unlikely).

Bwa ha ha, the word is out!
She's the best! THE BEST I SAY!!

Can you "Outsiders" yourself?

Sure. Just wear a jean jacket with no sleeves.




Man, I'm old.

Great book, great movie, RIP Johnny.

I am 17.

Well Outsider's says:

If you are friendly to yourself then yes. If not then I am wrong.

A couple other good fastballs are wildcat (especealy the rookie) from DC Origins and Black King from Armor Wars. Yes, and don't forget the compel, very evil indeed. Really want to try it.

A figure is considered friendly to itself, yes - friendly more or less means "on the same force"

I pulled off a FBS last Friday night, using Colossus and Shatterstar.

Shatterstar is a great fig to do that with -- his second click has a 17 Def with CR... so he's suddenly a 19 Def to the person he's based with.

I hit a Dazzler with him, and his B/C/F attack smoked her after she took the 2 damage from the initial throw.

Her Def was low enough on her third click (14 with ESD) that I didn't even worry about the -2 to Attack. With a 7, attacking a 14, he still only needed a 7 or better. Which he hit, and then the B/C/F damage roll was for 5.

My friends and I have given Karnak our thimbs up as best fastball throwee. 11 attack and 4 dmg w/ Exploit weakness on his second click. The Outsidering trick is awesome though! I hope none of my people read this before this weekend...

It's hard for me to comprehend why all this effort is going into making Colossus' special power functional. It's TK with a few penalties.
Sure you can deal 2 damage to an opposing figure, but how much does it cost you.
-2 damage, -2 attack, and a click for it. You can spend points on outsiders to deal with the -2's, but you're still taking a click, to deal (a potential) 2.
Why not invest some into a couple cheap tk's and more balls to start up an actual pitching machine.
