You could use Captain Marvel because not only can he capture but Captain Marvel can be TK'd which is a huge advantage over colossals

Probably, but it's a tactic I never use as I play very strict themes and wouldn't pair Darkseid with either figure.

I'm sorry...I'm having a tough time understanding how you counter the capture attempt. The thing that's throwing me off is the wording, "When Capture would be countered..."

Is it as simple as announcing the counter and rolling two dice after your character has been successfully hit with a capture attempt?

Outwitting it makes sense to me. It's just the other part that doesn't.

Let's start at the beginning. FF rules, page 18:

Countering Capture. When Capture would be countered, roll 2d6; if the result of the roll is not doubles, Capture is not countered. If Capture is countered, all captives of this character are rescued immediately.

So there are two instances where you would want to counter capture: either before the character can use it (pre-emptive countering) or after a character has been captured (umm... non-pre-emptive countering?).

Either way, per these rules, you'd have to roll off, but if you successfully pre-emptively countered capture then the character could not use capture until the beginning of your next turn (or until you lost Outwit). If you countered capture while a character was captured, you would rescue those characters (see the rules on page 18 for exactly what rescuing results in) AND the capture ability could not be used until the beginning of your next turn.

Does that help?

ok, got it. Thanks normal, I appreciate the help.
