Yeah, I thought about trying to exploit this with Anarky and a Stunning Blow team until I realized that it is "when a character is to be given a token." Which means that character will never push, making it a moot point (still works with Anarky though!)

I believe he could push and take an action, since this assumes he's starting the turn clear, absorbing a token, and then looking to do his own thing, I can't think of a reason why he would be prevented from making his own action and pushing.

It should be mentioned that Endurance is pretty gross on Edward when he's being used as a token taker and nothing else.

You can do alot more with removing the tokens. You can prevent the effect of Shellhead..

You can't do this. A character can make only one action per turn. So character X takes an action. Nigma drains the token. Now X has taken he's action for the turn, even that he has no tokens.

The Power would work if it was refrased: Edward Nigma can use Enhancement and Mastermind. When an action token would be given to a character adjacent to Edward Nigma, you can instead give it to Edward Nigma as if Edward Nigma would have taken the action.

I misread what he was asking.

I was saying that Edward can absorb a token AND then take another action himself.

And I misread what you were saying so touché.

You cannot do this either... It says "You can instead" as if he was taking the action.

But "as if" isn't the same as is... I stand by my guess.

Well my comment isn't flood safe, so let everyone has his/her way

Edward Nigma is THE MAN!!

LE Eddy was the first figure in previews that I wanted to get, now I have two!!

Great review!!


I've heard this interpreted several ways. My venue thought that the part about it coming up on a single die was just overclarification and the incap. works even if the selected number doesn't come up on either dice.
Have they made errata for this?

I'm not sure I understand!?! Can he use Outsmart twice? How would using that feat card on The Riddler differ from using it on another character?

Come to think of it, Nigma didn't do much hiding when he was a famous detective, did he? I appreciate the Bat Enemies TA regardless because of his solid attack at 60 points.

I've run both and both have their strong points and nastiness.

However, I'd reach for the common more than not, especially when paired up with Stunning Blow.

Taxi in, "Stunning Blow" and deal 2 damage, next turn do it again, next turn, do the free action Stunning Blow.

He's never resting, he's a pain in the arse.

edward just became best friend with hitman. now i use guns blazing hitting for 3 damage a pop. because hitman is a sharpshooter, he can get enhanced even when based. the best thing about edward is he has the triple threat dial.

he has his sp,mastermind and outwit. you're probably gonna have to choose which power to outwit. this probably will put you in a situation where the person edward is next to will smack you up. i played him with lighting lord ans psycho-man and just eat my opponent up. being able to triple mind control with no feedback every turn is just nasty. lightning lord always had a 10av.

i actually like edward oon his 3rd click. on that click he still has his sp, but now has perplex. this can be used to bump up any number you want. most ppl won't want him off his first click, but i don't mind clicking him. him and susan richards are also very good friends(he's got a thing for green).

Im not sure, because you didn't quote what I wrote exactly, I can only assume 2 things:

1.) I was referring to LE Edward Nigma, not Riddler. Really, Outsmart is a great card for both.

2.) I mentioned "double dipping" on the feat prerequisites. What I mean by double dipping, is that a character has more than one feat prerequisite.

For instance, Lunge has a prerequisite of Leap/Climb or CCE. If you wanted to cancel the Lunge on character with both L/C & CCE, (and you didn't have Thwart in play) you'd have to counter both powers.

Double dipping makes it harder for an opponent to bypass a feat with one outwit (even harder with outsmart!).

Your other question was clarified in the rules forum. I'll try to find the exact post.

I thought is was overclarification as well, and was disapointed to learn the following from the RA:

Great review. Man, Nigma's good. I gotta get me one!

Thanks,
