This guy could be so awsome and annoying on legion teams. Giving people all kinds of angles to work with can really disrupt someones strategy and gives you more options, and more options is goooooood

Pulled and played him last night, he is stupid good in sealed. Wildcard, and then TK and Prob both through friendlies. Then the trait has so many tricks its ridiculous. I put Mon-El prime 4 squares behind Tellus, Empress 4 squares in front of Tellus, and now when Mon-El shoots his 10 range is effectively an 18 range with the PC from Tellus. One game I put tellus behind blocking, with a friendly on either side of him watching each hallway and no matter where your enemy comes from they can all shoot them. This guy may have meta potential.

He is absolutely brutal in sealed. Heck he will be brutal in regular and competive play. Just sit and think about how he can effect people with TK and prob control without even needing to draw lines to them. It is amazing.

Here's a great question if I have Tellus in my starting area and GSX Professor X (with a Legion Ring) is four square away will GSX's Professor X's trait still function.

LINK TELEPATHICALLY: Friendly characters within 4 squares can draw lines of fire and count range and squares from the square of any one friendly character within 4 squares of Tellus.

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.

It seems as though he can because A) they share a Keyword (thanks to the Legion Ring) and B) Professor X is considered to be occupying the square because Tellus's power simply says "friendly charactors" which included him self.

Im not completely sure why you would need to do that, so long as prof x shares a keyword with someone, is is everywhere.

Also, the important thing to note is the very first part of Wheel`s powers.
If Professor X is in your starting area If he is not in your starting area, it does not work, period. Tellus power does not change where Wheels is at, or anyone for that matter, it is simply allowing you to draw lines of fire from a different square that you do not occupy.

Here's my question. Say you've got Tellus in a square and character A three squares away from him and character B four squares away. I understand that he can draw lines of fire from both of them because they are within four squares of him and characters are friendly to themselves, but can characters A&B draw lines of fire from each other's squares because they are each within four squares of Tellus? Or do they also have to be within four squares of each other as well?

LINK TELEPATHICALLY: Friendly characters within 4 squares can draw lines of fire and count range and squares from the square of any one friendly character within 4 squares of Tellus.

They can draw lines from one another as well. Any friendly within that 81-square area surrounding Tellus(9x9 squares) can draw lines of fire from any other friendly within the same area.

whaaat? I still don't understand.... how does this work?

played him in sealed monday, he's fantastic essentially you can boost a characters range big time

Character A ---- Tellus ---- Character B-------- Target
8 Range

worked amazing, I also had character A and a science police officer w/ police team ability adjacent so they could target through my chameleon girl and lower defense on ranged attacks

Yehhh...I quoted myself.

I explained it pretty simply above. Any friendly within 4 squares of Tellus(including Tellus himself)...that being a 9x9 area...can draw lines of fire and count range from any other friendly(again, including Tellus) in the same area around Tellus.

Simple stuff, really.

PD TA anyone? Every target gets -3 to defense.

Re-read that TA.

I'm pretty familiar with that TA. Would you like me to explain how to give targets -3 to defense using Tellus and 3 PD TA characters? Granted it only applies to ranged attacks and you need to keep formation, but it works.

Tellus, Lex Luthor, & Ultron will be hanging out this weekend.
Superboy and Burce Wayne may tag along too.
