Can I use Colossus's SP with Poor Teamwork in play?

I would imagine that yes, I could, since TK Option 3 appears to target an opposing character and not the object (or, in the case of FSB, the friendly).

Am I right or do I suck? (as if the two were mutually exclusive...)

Fastball Special is Telekinesis on a friendly character, which Poor Teamwork prohibits.

EDIT: I mean, of course you can, now that I've read the power...

Here is the current wording of Poor Teamwork:
The bolded passage is the important part; Colossus does not have Telekinesis, he can just use it. Therefore his Fastball Special is not affected by Poor Teamwork.
As a side note, this issue came up with Mandarin, and it was ruled he can indeed use Telekinesis with Poor Teamwork in play.

I would think that the word target would be the important part...or rather, another important part. Option 3 of TK is functionally different than the others in that it doesn't target the object (at least, as stated)but the opposing character.

That was my first insticnt too, but then I remembered the recent ruling that a Transporter can't be TKed with FBS, because even though it is treated like a light object, it is still a Transporter and therefore restricted by the rules for that class of figure. I think if not for the other ruling it would be prevented for the same reason, it is not an object.

Though its really not important in this case.

Where was this ruling made?

The power says "any friendly with the starburst damage symbol." Those are the only printed restrictions (and if FBS was identical to regular TK, the distinction would be unnecessary, wouldn't it?)

Disallowing transporters would be counter to the power, as it is worded.

EDIT: Never mind. Found the thread on WK. Looks like Norm is taking it to the GD.

Transporters can be TKed (or at least I haven't found anything saying they cannot be TKed).
Double-base characters, on the other hand, cannot be TKed.

As usual, you are correct. I was specifically thinking about LJ, and always consider him a Transporter first and consider his Doublebasedness (Yes, its word. I know because I made it up just now! ) like gravy on my mashed potatos. Usually, its nice to have but I don't always want it and sometimes really wish I had some salt and butter instead.


That, my friends, is what happens when you skip that little step about verifiying the information you're about to post...


...or at least tinking it all the way through! :cross-eye

Edit: Can someone help me out and give Q a little love (a.k.a. Rep) for keeping me honest?

I always feel so dirty when that screen comes up... :speechles

I figured that might be the case, but I figured it would be best to point out the misunderstanding - after all, we do not want to confuse the less enlightened, do we?
I'd rep myself if only I could... or maybe not. That's what happens when you are too awesome, I guess...

Done. and Done.
