if a mandroid armor is adjacent to hawkeye(friendly) and they are both adjacent to ultron(opposing), is any breakaway roll needed to tk hawkeye away?

In short: No.

ok, so to clear up: a tk'er can tk regardless of who is adjacent to him?

Real quick: Please confirm. . .Hovering characters automatically breakaway from grounded characters.

Reasoning: Leap/Climb permits auto-breakaway . . .why not flying?

In response to the question on fliers: No. They have to make a break-away roll, but can ignore characters after they have broken away, for the purposes of movement.

Leap/climb is a super power as defined by the PAC whereas flying is not. Therefore, what is on the PAC as it relates to breaking away and L/C is law. Flying is governed by the guidelines set forth in the rule book, which clearly states that hovering character (as opposed to soaring characters) must roll to break away before moving out of a square adjacent to an opposing character.

As for reasoning, I say faugh! Is there any reason why hitting someone with a motorcycle hurts more than hitting him with a hot dog vending cart? Or why Brotherhood, JLA, and Avengers team members move freely? Using reason to describe powers, abilities, or rules is foolish and a waste of time. It's a game. Go with it.

As long as there is clarification in the rulebook, you are correct; reasoning is a waste of time.

I re-read the rules concerning flying and movement.
