But...

If I have a figure (Magnito=M) who is being based by an opposing figure (Shazam=SH), would I be able to TK a friendly figure (Storm=ST) I have a clear LoS to out of that adjacency?

Thanks.

yes you can, you are not making a range combat attack.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I don't have the PAC with me, is TK a Power Action that grants a Ranged or Close Combat Action?

Is that why this is legal, because it's a Power Action?

Ranged Combat Expert is a power action as well, but you can't use it while based unless you have the Sharpshooter ability.
The reason you can use telekinesis in this instance is you aren't attacking at all. If Storm was an opposing figure, then you would be making a ranged combat attack to TK her and the move would be illegal.

Too much Mafia, too little Heroclix.

But yeah, those guys are right.
Nothing in section 2 about making an attack.

But if the figure you are trying to TK is based, they would need to roll for breakaway and I believe the TKing character would get the action token for a failed breakaway attempt.

that is correct since they are the one that was given the action.

This could probably use some clarification in the Player's Guide. As Maraud said, the character using TK is the one that gets the action token, but I don't think a review of the rules would automatically lead someone to that conclusion.
