Help! I have been told by someone who played against me using his Colossal Boy ignoring my skrulls team ability. I cannot find it in Danger Room rulebooks. Can anyone verify that the guy is telling the truth that the Giants do ignore Skrull/Danger Girl/change shape/plasticity? if there is a source on this, please cite this okay? thanks.

Sounds like he's confusing Giant rules with Colossal rules.

Colossal character like Sentinel and Galactus do, in fact, ignore a whole variety of powers and team abilities. See the individual rules sets for a specific Colossal figure for a blow by blow description (each Colossal figure is more or less unique, with thier own specific rules).

Giants, on the other hand, do not have nearly as long a list of ignored powers. From the DR rule book (page 50):

Giant characters ignore hindering, elevated, and outdoor blocking terrain on movement. Giant characters cannot be moved by Telekinesis, and they ignore other characters’ Force Blast and Plasticity.

Sentinels, Sinestro, Dark Phoenix, and Jean Grey Phoenix all used to ignore Skrull and Danger Girl TA. It no longer does because those Team Abilities do not duplicate Shape Change any longer, since the Shape Change power was changed in Danger Room. So now Skrulls can hide from a Sentinel, but less than 6 months ago they could not.

Hey Normalview, I have a question for you. All characters that take up 4 squares (2x2) formally known as "big" figures are now "colossal" figs right? Can any/all Colossal figs carry an adjacent teammate? (As per the Flying rules). Thank you for your wisdom in advance.

This is incorrect. Colossal characters that used to ignore Danger Girl and Skrull TAs still do so. From the latest General E&C:

Colossal characters ignore the Skrull and Danger Girl team abilities.

Yes, the designation was changed in the Icons rule book.


Any Colossal figure that is a flier (you can tell by looking at the movement symbol), yes. And that is currently all of them
