Can his ultimate nullifier damage special break through brainiacs defense power? It says deal unavoidable damage for every 100pts the character has. Just wondering. Also u can just base him with two flurry characters E.Honda or Gertrude and Lace together to get him off top of the dial. DKR starter bane can also hurt this guy with good partners.

This guy is scary. being an uncommon he'll be easy to get. Not sure if thats good or bad. He's got such a broken defensive power. Point, click and win!

CAPEBREAKERHULK, basing him with flurry characters could be effective but you better hope he misses with ew or pulse wave. He is still capable of wrecking a whole team after he gets off of the uber defense clicks.

Hey, guys. The "I'll Show You Impervious" power is absolute. Penetrating Damage, Poison, Ultimate Nullifier Mr. Fantastic will only crack the Impervious portion, but these things WILL NOT do more than one damage if the power is on the next click.

Well that's true. Unless it's something like Bullseye's ability to use light objects as if he had Super Strength. Then he can throw it, damage resolves onto that click, and then after that resolves it deals an additional point of penetrating damage.

Ult. nullifier's not an attack, thus goes through his special.

I think this guy is from the Red Son series...just that feeling

does this guy hold a chance against chanos. yes or no?

So can OUTBACK HOM Hulk nerf his defense ability if you use outback Hulk's damage power that doesn't allow a target opposing character to use defense powers?

I'm happy to know the Ultimate Nullifier works on Braniac.

So also have moleman to double up with small flurry characters.

I agree. If you ask me this guy is one of the scariest clix in the game. now dont get me wrong id rather go against this guy than sentroid or chanos but now a semi-broken piece will be easily available to the general public. time to braniac proof my teams *sigh*

It seems like Avengers and other similar TAs will be important against him.

outback hulk's peace of the outback power does prevent brainiac from using his special defense poower while hulk is attacking him.

this link doesnt seem very definitive i think we need an orange on this cuz some are saying even pulsewave wont get thru and i'm just confused. is "can't use" a new aspect to consider like countering or ignoring?

so i asked for help and normalview told me this

"I'LL SHOW YOU IMPERVIOUS: Brainiac can use Impervious. When turning the dial, if this click is revealed due to damage taken from an opponent's attack, stop turning the dial. This power cannot be countered or ignored.

He uses Impervious. Easy enough.

If you turn the dial due to damage from an attack, and this power shows up in the dial slot, you stop turning the dial. Also pretty easy. Given he has three clicks of this power near the top of the dial, it will then take at least 4 attacks to KO him.

Finally the power can't be countered or ignored. So if anything counters (Outwit is a primary example) or ignores powers (PW is a good one to reference), then those won't really work. Other stuff, maybe an effect that simply says "can't use X power", could still work normally. This is because counter and ignore are both specific game terms; if an effect doesn't actually use the word "counter" then it doesn't counter (same with the word "ignore")."

so there we have it. you can try to roll out of pulsewave but outback hulk is going to get one in on you if he rolls it, i guess?

Outback Hulk is one of the few, if any, pieces that can ignore that power, yes this is true. Brainiac is very mobile, the power to seemingly pop out of NO where and shoot for 5 damage at 11av will decimate. But in terms of Hulk being a silver bullet, not 1v1 assuming he has a team, he can only do his "Peace of the Outback" in close combat. Even with TK, he won't be able to attack Brainiac immediately. But for the sake of argument, he is next to Brainiac and swings at Brainiac's 19dv, while Hulk himself has a 9av for 2 damage due to his power. GOOD LUCK rolling that 10. Again, for the sake of argument Hulk makes the hail-mary swing and hits; Brianiac now has 11av and CCE with 4 damage, knocking Hulk into oblivion. If there is 1 piece I won't EVER be worried about, it's this Hulk. No amount of Tk, prob, and perplex could make him measure up to Brainiac in terms of being a Silver Bullet.

But for the record, my 1 huge issue with this piece is the name of his Special defense "I'll show you Impervious". That makes 0 sense, since Superman would punch HOLES through him. The power should be more accurately "I am Legion, Superman", "Destroying this vessel is irrelevant", "You only delay the inevitable", or even "The Brain Interactive Construct cannot be so easily destroyed"(albeit this name of Brainiac is used only in 1 book and smallville). It's a small nitpick, but it urks me.

Scarlet witch wonderman is a better counter brainiac then Hulk sure they can only stop his def power on a 3 or 6 but you can then hit him with any fig you want and brainiacs def power will not work
