Is it possible to attack using an object with force blast?

On the power card it says, "FORCE BLAST. This character can knock back other characters and **objects** with a forceful blast."

Could you force blast an object into a figure, doing standard object damage, as if thrown or TK'd?

For example, Blue Beetle is standing adjacent to light object. In the same line of fire two squares away stands The Joker. Blue Beetle uses force blast on the object and pushes it two squares, and ends up occupying the same square as Joker.

Would Joker take two clix of damage, or would he now be standing on the light object?

Though it really hasn't been expressively stated... Force Blast should be able to be used on objects.

It will only move the object. Force Blast cannot be used to attack a figure with an object.

So, Blue Beetle would be able to move the object 2 squares in to where Joker is standing, but Joker will not take any damage from this type of action.

I kinda figured as much.

Thanks for the help.

An object and a figure cannot occupy the same square, so does the object stop at 1 square, does it push Joker back (which would be inconsistent with the rules, so I doubt it) or would Joker then be standing on top of the car. If Joker is standing on top of the car, wouldn't that require a move action, and then stopping in (on) hindering terrain?

An object and a figure can not occupy the same space? Are you sure you are reading that right? How in the world would a stealthed figure ever be able to stand on one of the object tokens then? Figures and objects can occupy the same space. The object would still go into Joker's square. The joker would then be considered in hindering terrain. It does not mean that he has picked it up. On his turn, he would have half movement out of the hindering terrain.

Oops. You're right. Brain shutdown on my part...

Given the example the object should end up in Joker's square, giving him the ranged protection of Hindering Terrain and halving his speed if he decides to move next turn, as has been stated.

Now, this example isn't too helpful, but it could be a useful tactic elsewhere. If you move an object under a figure with Charge then their Charge speed will be 1/4 normal (halved for Charge and halved for leaving hindering terrain). Or you could push an object under a figure of your own to increase defense or better yet, hide a stealthed figure. But these opportunities would probably be rare.

So is the ruling that a figure with force blast can indeed force blast an object onto an opposing figure to do damage?

Nope. As Tsannik stated it can't be used to attack a character with an object.

Force Blast is the only power I haven't used ever, but now that my regular opponent uses Stealth a LOT, I was gonna throw in a Blue Beetle so I had some very dumb questions, I feel like such a newbie *sigh*

1. Do you have to roll for Force Blast? I'm guessing no.

2. Does it work at range? I.E. Can E Blue Beetlee push someone 2 squares from 8 spaces away or does he have to be adjacent to the character being force blasted? I'm guessing ranged is fine.

3. Someone with Force Blast has 2 aarows. Can I use force Blast on 2 characters? I'm guessing no because it's a move action.

hehe this power sounds fun.

oops just noticed...one adjacent character.

Ignore question 2

So how about this one. Say your Rookie Blue Beetle is based with Exp Batman. Can he (Blue Beetle) choose to force blast the object away instead of Batman? I know that my phasing Swamp Thing with SS can run by and grab the object under Batman, and then phase away.

Nope, the action is automatic. You do not have to roll. It is not considered an attack.
No, Force Blast uses a Move action that specifically states that only the targetted adjacent object/figure will be moved.
Yep... a Move Action, so the lightning bolt icons cannot be used.

I don't see a problem with this. This is legal.
