Black Queen's trait (VAMPIRIC DRAIN) states that she can use Steal Energy when she uses ranged combat attacks. Her PSYCHIC VAMPIRE power grants her 1 click of healing when she uses Mind Control.

Mind Control uses a close/ranged combat action, but:

So Black Queen can be given a ranged/close combat action in order to activate Mind Control. She then makes a ranged (or close) combat attack against the target. Her VAMPIRIC DRAIN lets her use Steal Energy with this attack and Black Queen heals 1 damage. Then at the resolution of the action in which Black Queen used Mind Control her PSYCHIC VAMPIRE kicks in and heals her an additional 1 damage. Meaning Black Queen can heal to click 2 on one Mind Control attack.

Correct?

Steal Energy requires the targeted character to take damage. Mind Control deals no damage therefore wouldn't trigger Steal Energy.

Each time an opposing character takes damage from a close combat attack made by this character, heal this character of 1 damage.

Mind Control deals no damage. So since no damage is being taken she would not get to use Steal Energy.

Dang it! So close to making her awesome. There doesn't happen to be a feat or relic that lets a character deal damage with MC, does there?

Yeah since it
Checks for a hit sadly givig her doc Ock tentacles won't help...oh well looks line BoS Quake it is then
