since prof x requires a double power action be given in place of a power action, if you have 2 on the field, what happens?

1) No character can be given a power action. Period
2) Character is given 4 power actions. Since they can't be given more than 2, are they dealt 2 avoidable damage

The effect would not be multiplied. A character would be given a double power action instead of a power action regardless of how many Professor X's are on the board.

Are you referring to this power?

All that power does is make it so that any power which normally costs a power action to activate now costs a double power action.

For example Running Shot:
It now costs a double power action instead.
Free actions, close combat actions, ranged combat actions, and move actions are unaffected.

In addition to what vanisherpunisher said, I suspect you may be incorrectly reading "power action" as "non-free action." This doesn't affect move actions or close/ranged combat actions, so the scope of the power is a lot more limited than I think you think it is.

Well, two of my friends who have been playing with him have been doing it wrong.

He thought it was for all actions.

No, they'd get one token as normal. Only power actions are affected by Professor X.

Agreed - please (re)read the PAC - if it says "give this character a power action", then Prof X would make that a double power action.

See: charge, TK, HSS, running shot, ranged combat expert, pulse wave, duo attack, multi attack, and others.

Not applicable for "give this character a close/ranged combat action" or "a move action"; only "power action".

Consider combining him with Senator Robert Kelly for additional "fun".

Effectively "shuts down" opposing character power actions ... go ahead, push yourself to death, see if I care ...

Enjoy!

Bertie, that's evil......I like it!

Anyway, I'm more tempted to have a team of chucks including Cerebro, the one from M&M with the lovely 12 range and the prof with defend. You never know when that will come in handy!

Pulsewave is not a power action. Ranged combat action, which is why you can rs pw.

As stated, no, it would not shut down the game

It doesn't say pay an extra token, it just becomes a double so 2 would have no more effect than 1

Also, it says within range. If I give the action outside his range of 8 his power has no effect so I could RS or HSS and zip in blast or punch no problem

2 WOULD increase the area affected though so long as you separated them

Bertie, add the stat saphire lantern complete and them its a case of........ okay so push yourself to death and while you are doing it, please keep taking mystics damage if you actually decide to attack anyway.

i KNEW that.

my bad.

A double power action is also a defined game term. It's not a mathematical power ProfX is sporting- it's a grammatical one.
