This came up at a local match up.

Can prof X make a ranged combat attack through another character to an opposing character, if the opposing character is adjacent to the median character? or would it be a close combat attack?

I have heard it is ranged combat bc x is so far away just going through someone else, and I have heard that bc the person he is going through is adjacent to the enemy, it is close combat

Prof X is making the attack. it's just from a different position. so the attack would be a ranged attack. remember the power also states that you must use powers.

Also, be sure to check the Final Word for questions..

(Damage) I've Learned Your Secrets: Professor X can use Outwit. Once per turn, when he uses Outwit to counter a standard power, he may immediately use Outwit again, but only to counter a power of the same color.

(Special) In Contact with Cerebro: If Professor X is in your starting area, he can draw lines of fire and count Range for his Speed, Attack, and Damage powers from the square of any friendly character with whom he shares a keyword.

Remember Professor X is simply using a power from that square and since Professor X is NOT ADJACENT TO AN OPPOSING CHARACTOR when using that power it doesn't matter that the "distribution nod" (friendly charactor) is adjacent to an opposing charactor.

Hi, is other question?

Beast GSX can use your outwit and outwit the Professor X GSX in the same turn?

Beast can use his powers and Professor X can use his powers, yes. When Professor X uses his Outwit, Professor X is using the Outwit and not Beast.
