In the new 2017 rules, how would his trait stand up against someone with the Power Cosmic team ability? Would he still be able to affect that character now that the terms "can't use" and "counter" have been somewhat merged?

Protected: Outwit will not help against his trait. While Outwit is "can't use" now, Protected: Outwit only protects against Outwit specifically.

So the term "cannot be countered" has been reworded to "Protected: Outwit"? Wizkids really needs to update the Team Abilities to reflect this change.

Team abilities have been updated here: http://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic....5fb0c2049d4767

"QUINTESSENCE - Willpower. This character has PROTECTED: Outwit. Uncopyable."
"POWER COSMIC - Willpower. This character has PROTECTED: Outwit. Uncopyable."

New Colossal Hulk at 350 points SMASHES Malekith all day long and every day. Man, it feels so good to knock this guy down a peg.

Used this guy in a tournament where the format was essentially you keep what you kill. All players were using figures from random boxes assigned. This guy took out Tyrant and Black Dwarf in 3 attacks. Another game He then took out WoL Kyle Rayner (GL), Katma Tui, and other GL figs in pretty fast succession.
