Here's the scenario that screwed me =

My 300 points DC Only Team

U Magog
R Cosmic Boy
R Hawkgirl
V Easy Company Medic

First turn, Magog picks up a heavy object.

Second turn, Cosmic Boy gets killed via a long distance running shot.

Now, my mobility is screwed because I'm in my starting area and Hawkgirl cannot carry Magog because he is carrying an object, right?

So, what to do? I had to wade forward with Magog hiding behind Hawkgirl and the Medic, both of whom were killed quickly. Magog never got an attack off all game, because by the time he got close to the other team, he was based with a rookie Paramedic...bleh.

Any thoughts?

I think you shouldn't tie up more than 2/3 of your build total with one figure. And put some Telekinesis on your team if you do.

Throw it at a wall,
throw it at another object.

Keep pushing until you lose Super Strength :knockedou

Charge that stupid wall,
and Exploit it for 7 clicks.

I may be wrong, but I think that is why he had Cosmic Boy.

Hmn, it was the outside DC map that is the Truck Stop/Gas station type of place...could I have thrown the object at one of the exterior building walls? Interesting...

No I don't think you can use it to destroy walls of buildings outside, but I'm pretty sure you could throw it at those elevated blocking terrain squares.

Or another object, as already stated.

But really, this has to be one of the most absurd rule in the book. Why wouldn't a super strong character be able to put down an object? There is no logic to it whatsoever, and if it was allowed it could make for some excellent tactical moves (especially against grounded HSS characters)

It might be to stop abuse with Stealth. For example, Moon Knight could carry an object around and keep putting it down to hide behind.

Yeah I realise that. And the Vision could carry both a ninja and an object to put him on.

But it's hardly going to be as abusable as many of the tactics currently around. And if Moon Knight did do that, he'd have to move at half speed (since he has to start his move before he can pick up the object). So until they make a Batman Ally or an Ultimate with Super Strength it wouldn't be so bad.

Like Staelth is much of a problem nowadays...

"Clint, this is Cap...something funny going on with that dumpster...it's moving toward us. Take it out."

"Uhhh, Cap, kinda tied up here."

"Thor, this is Cap..."

"Busy, Captain."

(Sigh) "Widow, this is Cap. There's..."

"On it."

Moon Knight takes three.
