Okay, this is a question that has probably been asked and answered like 8 times on this forum but I can't seem to find it.

Can I use Close combat Expert in conjunction with super strength?

If bane's superstrength only gives him a ranged combat attack with an object, its okay, but if It can allow him to do 7 damage in close combat, I would loooove it.

No, they will not work together. If Bane is holding an object, he must use the object in a close combat attack before he can use his CCE. They will not work together.

as I suspected.
oh well

Didn't check the PAC did you

CLOSE COMBAT EXPERT (OPTIONAL): Give this character a power action. It makes a close combat attack against a single opposing target character; modify this character’s damage value by +2 for the attack. Close Combat Expert cannot be used when using an object as a weapon.

Don't sweat it, though. We all have off days

How are you always there to answer people's rule questions?

I wish wizkids would update their site. I didn't check superstrength but I know if you look at Combat Reflexes on a dial, it has the old rules. Maybe thats just for older figures, but it still needs to be fixed

Plus the newest rulebook I have is universe, which doesnt help

The .pdfs of all the most recent stuff (rule book, PAC, errata, etc) are all available for download at Wizkids. Just click on the "How to Play" link on the various heroclix pages.
