i take it that if you mind control a character with mind control, you can then mind control someone with that character?

Yes, following all the normal rules for Mind Control.

Why... would you do that?

Why not skip the middle man?

You don't have LoF or range.
You want to give your opponent more action tokens.
You want him to take the MC feedback damage for being over 100 points.
His White Queen has a better shot at it then your Puppet Master.

i mind control white witch, who mind controlls darkseid, taking a click of damage, and giving actions to both of them

white queen, sorry

can the second mind controlled character then attack the first, or not, cos they're both on the same team?

At that point they are still friendly, yes. Which means that the 2nd can't attack the 1st, no.

Interesting.. I never thought of that...

Good plan!

So, in that example above, could Darkseid then mind control say puppet master, etc as long as they are all on the board and the normal rules for mind control apply?

Yes, Darkseid could go on to Mind Control another figure, following all normal rules for MC. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that Darkseid may only MC a figure who is considered opposing to him; he can not MC any of your figures. Nor any figure who was Mind Controlled earlier in the chain, as their MC actions have not yet ended and so they are still considered friendly to the figure who Mind Controlled them.

So, Puppet Master MCs White Queen. White Queen MCs Darkseid. Darkseid MCs Mojo. Mojo cannot MC any of the figures previously mentioned.

Ok, thanks a lot, that's what I thought. When my friends and I play, there are usually like 4 or 5 of us in one big game, so there are many opposing figures in a game like that. I just found the idea of a giant mind control chain amusing. White Queen to Darkseid, Darkseid to Puppet Master, Puppet Master to Controller, Controller to Bullseye (whoever is around to attack), attack with Bullseye. Now that would be a hell of an action, wouldn't it?

I imagine that would definately annoy your friends... all the rolls to hit though.. fail one and it was a waste of a mind control. cept for the action tokens.

U Elektra, with two mind controls... against two different mind controlers... who then each mind control a ranged attacker... that could get nasty.

This is all incorrect information. Check the latest Faq. Mind Controlled Figures count as friendly for THE ASSIGNED ACTION ONLY. So, White Queen mind controls Darkseid, Darkseid Mind controls Puppet Master, Puppet master can then attack White Queen because her assigned action is over and she is now back under your opponents control, while Puppet Master is now considered your friendly for his assigned action.
