Can someone please explain how Four Hoodlums at Once works?

Can it be used with HSS?

Does he divide his damage among the characters targeted?

Can I Perplex his damage to a 6 and hit all characters targeted for 6?

I don’t quite get it. This power seems incredibly over-powered on a 60 point piece.

HSS: Yes
Divide: No
Perplex: Yes

It is a very good power... though tempered by the fact that your opponent can mitigate it by not grouping up... but even so, the fact you are messing up your opponent's formation is a benefit

Hypersonic Speed:
Move
Attack
Move

So during your attack (wherever you stop), you can hit all adjacent enemies.

You roll the dice, and compare it to all of the enemies at the same time. For the enemies that you hit, you split your damage between the hit enemies.

You do not divide the damage. Every hit character takes normal damage.

So if you Perplex his damage up, each hit target is dealt the modified damage? For example, I Perplex his damage to 5, he uses HSS to move adjacent to three characters, he attacks and hits all three. Does he deal 5 damage to all three? That is insane!

Correct.
The difference to note here is the whole concept of "splitting damage" is specifically a function of range attacks using multiple bolts... any effect that tells you to "targets all _____" won't split (see JLU Common Batman Prime as another example)

Yea you're right!

TEP 4: CALCULATE DAMAGE DEALT The attacker calculates the damage they deal to hit targets. Missed targets are not dealt any damage by the attack.Calculate the attacker’s damage value. (See p. 6 for Calculating Combat Values.) If you used bolts to target multiple characters or an effect instructs you to divide the damage, you now divide and assign the character’s damage value between all hit targets. When dividing the damage, you may assign 0 damage to a hit target, but all damage must be assigned. In all other cases, the character’s full damage value is dealt to each hit target.

Wow...I’ve got to get one of these.

Thanks to everyone who replied to help me understand this.

That's part of what made Eisenhower's ...That's More Like A Personal Tank so much fun!!

I have another question for this figure. I will try to be concise on the question.

When KO'd he turns in to Peter Parker via the trash can. If Peter Parker is then KO'd, does he turn back into this exact figure via the secret identity trait? Would it have to be a different Spider-Man on the sideline?

It is a great power, but as a Spider-Man fan, the built-in check of the power makes it feel more like Flash than Spider-Man. I would have preferred he had improve movement for elevation, characters, and hindering, with a charge power that allowed him to hit multiple adjacent characters.

We really need to sticky this somewhere.

Comprehensive Rulebook, page 2.

A game element in your Sideline can only be placed there for a specific effect. It can only leave your Sideline, re-enter it, or be referenced in your Sideline for that specific effect. This applies to characters on your force that later become part of your Sideline as well (usually when replaced).

Peter Parker would leave the Sideline due to the Garbage Can effect. He could not return to the sideline through the Secret Identity effect.

This Spider-Man ignores Hindering and Elevation on movement. The Units section entry is incomplete.

If there was a way to grant Spidey L/C and Giant Reach, on certain maps you could target characters on multiple elevations simultaneously.

Thanks for this. There is incorrect information in the units section about this figure.
