The way I explain it is basically you use the colors on your dial OR you duo attack. The only exception to my knowledge is super strength and steal energy (which would work with duo attack).
I also have a question. I understand that duo attack is one bolt, but can you target a different fig with the second duo attack?
The Duo Attack grants two free close or ranged combat attacks. Exploit Weakness is a close combat action. So it can not be used with the Duo Attack.
Of the standard powers, only using Super Strength and Steal Energy are compatible with the Duo Attack.
No, again.
HSS is a power action. So is the Duo Attack. You can not give a character more than one non-free action in a turn.
"Two free close or ranged combat attack" so which part of that turn with the fig isnt free? can they move then make those attacks?
well after that explanation it really makes dual figs less effective than i had thought. I played a 1000 point tourney a few weeks ago, used thors chariot and other asgardians, now i'm wondering if I was using the chariot correctly. For some reason I think I was under the impression that it was colors on the first attack, no colors on the second attack and -1 damage.
Spider-Thor is probably the best sculpt ever!
Warriors Three? Yeah, I'll smash you with my beer tankard and a turkey leg.

If you were playing it like that, then you were playing incorrectly.
dang, idk if i was or not now. I looked at his dial just now, and there isnt any color that would enhance damage right away, well super strength, but its damage of 5 at first, second attack i did 4 damage. my thought process was wrong, but i dont think it ended up leading to actual improper game play, that must be why no one ever stopped me. haha

No. You give the Duo character a power action. Then that let's them attack. And then they attack again. Two free attacks with the power action.
A power action is used to activate game effects. Sometimes that let your character place Barrier tokens. Other times it let's them use HSS. In this case, it lets the character attack twice (remember, characters can normally only attack once per turn... so even without combo-ing with other powers, you're still getting quite a bit of extra utility here).

No, that's not correct. But remember that TMC has a natural 5 damage to start (plus Super Strength and any other modifiers)... so for the cost of a single action token, you could potentially deal 9 damage (5 for the first attack and 4 for the second). That will KO most characters outright. With the proper support to back it up, TMC is a brutally effective piece.
ah nice, thanks for explaining it that way, that really cleared up a lot.
yeah TMC was very fun to play, used him, 3 asgardian warrior, thor from HoT and Heimdall. with auto regen feat on TMC. it was a cool team. once i got the hang of the chariot it was a very effective set list.
So, this sunday there is a tourney, its 400 pts and 200+ have to be from BATB. I'm using flashes + avengers bucky + avengers winter solder+ HoT captain america. just to get this straight, flashes can only use either an action with either HSS, close combat expert, etc... or duo attack, correct? also, with that fig, can HSS be combined with close combat expert?

The Flashes have just plain, ol' HSS (as opposed to, say, Zoom from Arkham). As such, they are given a power action and can move and, during that move, they can make a close combat attack(or, technically a ranged combat attack if you increase their range above 0).
CCE and Duo Attack are both power actions, so those are right out and can't be combined with HSS.
They also have a special power that allows them to use Flurry in a very interesting way, but Flurry is a close combat action, not an attack, so that can't be used with HSS, either.
So, yup, just HSS or just CCE or just Duo Attack for The Flashes.
