If, say, Box is moving his maximum movement to become adjacent to an enemy Winter Soldier--who is sitting stealthed in a heavy object--can Box pick up that object, or does he have to actually have enough movement to go past the object in question?

thanks...

Because Box is a flier, he can pick up the object because he doesn't have to stop moving when he becomes adjacent. If Box were Earthbound or his Flight Ability were countered, then he would not be able to pick up the object.

It should not matter if he is a flier or not, anytime during his move action, power action, or free action he can pick up the object.

It has nothing to do with Super strength, but with adjancency. Once you become adjacent as a non flyer to an enemy your move ends. SS says as part of a movement action, which means you need to pick up the object before your movement ends. Since it ends immediately when you become adj you cannot pick it up. As a flyer the movement does not end until you decide it does. So as a flyer even if you move your whole movement and end adjacent to an enemy figure you can pick up the object because you can ignore the other figure until you decide your move ends.

zzz is correct, Your movement ends when you come B2B unless you have something that ignores oppenents when being B2B (Flight, LC, HS).
So Steel, SS can be used in a move ation but it ends when you become B2B.
