Forgive me if this is a dumb question...

Superman/Flash, Green Lantern/Flash, and Goodness/Mercy all lose the duo ability and gain the at some point on their dials...

Could Fortitude be assigned to those characters? (To be used only when they lose the duo attack, obviously.)

For those two figures, yes, once they lost the symbol and gain the symbol, Fortitude is valid. However, you are paying 25 pts to use for about 1/2 a dial. I'm not so sure if it would be worth it to me.

Also, Shazam and Black Adam have the if the 140 point option is selected.

True enough--I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks.

Actually, in this case, the 25pts might be points well spent, after all.

Agreed.

I think Superman and Flash gain from it quite a bit, too--if you have Superman win the race, it lets him keep his higher damage values...

just throwing this out there but:

The rules say that if a power is a prereq it can be used via a specail power or trait but must be specifically mentioned (so no Nico tricks) But what if a power could make the character meet the prereq but isn't a prereq in and of itsel;f (ie Earthbound)?

Hypothetically, if Nico was a sharpshooter, could i give her Fortitude via the fact that Staff of One could choose Earthbound and make her ? It doesn't say COMBAT SYMBOLS must be specifically mentioned. Personally i'd assume not but its nice to know.

No. You are still depending on a power that is not specifically named.

Otherwise, you could put Fortitude on any flying Duo and then hope and pray that someone plays an Aerial Baffler object.


If a character actually possess EB/Neutralize (or an SP with EB/Neutralize) that's one thing... but if they do not, they don't/can't gaurantee that they will meet the prereqs.

Any reason the Aerial Baffler wasn't updated like Crosswinds? Something to mention in the Deputies Cave maybe.
