One of my favorite figures from this set. I actually caught someone with his attack power in sealed today, it was awesome. But otherwise, just his trait and other power set make him extremely skill oriented and rewarding.

Used this guy on a Black Order team against a friend who was using the Blue Lantern Ring on the Green Lantern Power Battery. His characters was giving Ebony Maw about 3 to 4 tokens per turn. My turn comes around, I used perplex, PC and outwit. As far as I know, that seems the correct way to play him, using each power for the allowed 3 times in a turn.

No.. you can use the POWER 3 times total.. so Outwit 3 times OR PC 3 times or Perplex 3 times.. or any combination thereof.. but not 3 times each.

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS, allows Ebony Maw to be given a free action to pick one of the specific powers to use until his next turn. The use of the chosen power does not have to be immediately after choosing the power. He may use a free action to activate the effect up to three times in which he would pick a different power each time.

This guy is amazing. I'm up to eight copies...so far. :)

Proxima Midnight and 3x Ebony Maw... caution, choose your opponents wisely. Hehe.

So if he has 3 whisper tokens could he use 3x Perplex in one turn or is it 1 of each per turn?

Unfortunately, no. He is still covered by the "no repetition of free action" rule. What he can do is burn 3 whisper tokens to use 1 Perplex, 1 Outwit and 1 PC in a turn.

With this guy having the "Minions of Thanos" keyword, I'm keeping my eye out for a sculpt to swap to use his dial as "The Other," Alexis Denisof's role from Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Any suggestions?

I would suggest DC's Harvest.

These guys would be interesting when paired with Dove (sog009).

I wonder how often his white special attack power actually works.
"I'll attack Ebony Maw"
"okay i'll make you attack your own guy instead"
"okay i wont do that then sorry i didnt know"

Still, it's a good deterrent

The key is to wait until the attack roll has been rolled, then announce he's attacking his own team.

I've used it a few times. Usually once it happens they tend not to forget about that power.
