RIDICULOUS REGENERATION: Whenever Deadpool would be dealt damage from an attack, roll a d6 instead. On a result of 1, he takes that damage plus 1. On a result of a 2-3 he takes the normal amount of damage. On a result of a 4-5 he takes 1 damage. On a result of a 6, he heals 1 damage instead.

Is Bagman's trait an attack?

So since when Does PW Ignore Traits?

Around the time the fantastic four rulebook came out. Might not have been in that rulebook, but I believe it was an errata soon after.
No, it is not. Deadpoll's trait will do nothing, and having bagman attack bagman will not result in a circle of attacks until they die.
This man knows what he's talking about.

There, you answered your own question...

I plan to deal with Bagman by using Dr. Doom and three researchers to nuke him off the face of the planet.

And them using Doom's Mastermind to pass off the retaliation damage to a researcher.

Bagman's trait is NOT Mystics, people.

Poison could help also.

Vortex (WoS) also has an SP incorporating TK that causes 1 damage.

The Bombastic Bag-Man is a very tough nut to crack.

A team mate of mine played bagman last night and our opponent solution was to incap him once then have Ben Reilly hit him with CCE and they both die at the same time for a relativity low cost.

Darkseid Omega Beams BBM to Captain Marvel who captures BBM for the win.

This thread should have been titled: "How to Bag Bombastic Bag-Man!"

Best way to take bag the Bombastic Bag-Man?

With his Perplex & Spider-Man TA, he is definitely a threat that can't be ignored.

Paper or Plastic?... Neither I recycle... clix that is!: Regeneration! Also, lots of B/C/F is a must. You are going to take damage... so might as well make it worth your while!

Here is a 300 point team Modern-Age (or Golden Age w/ 4 points for Feats) team I've designed to unmask the Bombastic Bag-Man:

X-Force Theme Team:

On a result of a 2-3 he takes the normal amount of damage. On a result of a 4-5 he takes 1 damage. On a result of a 6, he heals 1 damage instead.

(Damage) Reluctant but Brutal Leader: Wolverine can use Leadership. If Wolverine succeeds in his Leadership roll, you may also remove an action token from an adjacent friendly character with the X-Force keyword, then deal that character 1 unavoidable damage.

(Special) Continual Healing Factor: Once at the beginning of your turn, as a free action you may heal Wolverine of 1 damage.

If it's a 400 Point Game... you gotta get the new X-23 on it, and maybe take off Pete Wisdom, and add some other X-Force members.

(Special) Trigger Scent: At the beginning of the game, choose an opposing character. X-23 modifies her attack value by +2 when attacking that character.

That would be my counter of choice.

No, Deadpool (DP) is not receiving damage from an attack from Bombastic Bag-Mans's (BBM) trait. So DP would take the penetrating damage that he dealt to BBM.

Yes. The only way that Incapacitate can affect the attacker is if a critical hit is scored, then damage dealt would be 1, so the Incapper would take 1 penetrating damage.

LOL!

Since Traits have been introduced, Pulsewave ignores them! PW ignores All powers, abilities, including TAs, traits, and feat cards. Thorbuster rocks!

Another great strategy to go into a game against BBM is Mastermind.

Another poster mentioned this above.

Show up with a Dr. Doom team with lots of Doombots. You get the Minions of Doom TA (and Mystics TA with a certain Doom), and you have Mastermind! Take that penetrating damage, and pawn it off on the Doombots.

Red Skull and HYDRA or AIM agents are another option.

It would have been less of a problem if your local bagman had been like the ones at the end of Sean of the Dead I'm guessing.

Incap was my first guess. Could you still use Stunning Blow in that case and avoid the damage? I have a feeling you can't, but I just wanted to be a part of the conversation.

You would take his retaliation damage from the damage from the attack, but not the incap.
