I'd say he is best utilized playing the rear of the advancement, close enough to where his powers would facilitate, & you'd have to go through the rest of the harder hitters on the squad to get to him. As bait for the trap, if you'd then dare to try & get close, they'd just collapse upon you. He's mobile with sidestep, he's indomitable, & he can use regeneration anytime. He can use ANY standard power!! Support for healing or ranged combat expert for cover fire on top of that cool perplex...he's the glue guy.
Keep him out of the fray until absolute need be & hitch rides using tiny size & that's 21 for opponents to attempt to hit from range too. One could always, at very very least, just give him combat reflexes as well & use his perplex elsewhere. Al Jhor Dan is a fun piece. Possess him with Ion & run him with KC GL for super duper fun, yea.

I will have to give that a try. I pulled 1 so I'm working thinking of him as secondary and support. More than I normally pay for it but he does offer a lot. The size manipulation is what is selling me because of course picking any standard power is cool but being able to shrink and get carried or grow just to give coverage with a perplex to the defense and some combat reflexes. Certainly going to try and make him work.

I Dream of Greenie, starring Al Jhor Dan as a smoldering 2,000 year old genie and HG059b Harley Quinn as the the manic pixie dream girl who becomes his master!

He looks fun but there's so many great things to play for 15 points now that I think I'd rather stick with Nico Minoru or Goblin King

The versatility (and OP nature) of choice pieces like this really can't be understated. I just got to experience turning him giant and giving him Flurry. A giant quake is also awesome. I've used him as a giant Outwit, so I can see over my own pieces, outwit, and still shoot. It still works out better than a naturally giant character because he doesn't have to be giant. I've had it work out where I made him tiny because positioning demanded it, so an ally could fire over him.

EDIT 5/27: I have a sudden urge to run ID cards for the first time and make this the blue Aladdin genie for pop culture references.
