I agree that it's not meant to be a "combo", just the power action itself. But even if it was, note that you can't use the power again until he's taken damage.

I have a feeling the Telephone Booth is going to get a lot of use again at my venue...

Damage from an attack. Phone Booth won't do anything to help.

Mental note: if wording is correct, play with mind controller against GSX Apocalypse. Then convince player that flash is worthy! Afterwards mind control Flash and remove from board. Next turn choose not to place him.

Whew! That's good to know, actually.

Oops. I missed that part. Thanks. Well it's not so bad now.

Yeah, the last thing we needed was another character that Phone Booth worked well with. I'm just glad I don't see that object at my venue. The only special objects we tend to see are Dumpsters, Generators, and Crimson Gems.

Mind Control, the aforementioned Possession powers of Jericho and Deadman, and the You Appear More Worthy power of Apocalypse.

Just to be facetious, since the Special Power says "remove him" and not "remove Flash", can't I just remove any male character from the board that I controlled from the start of the game? Or, since the game mechanics are never gender-specific/limiting, "him" may refer to any character, so can't I remove female Clix as well?

Just because a rule doesn't specifically say I can't do something, doesn't that mean I can interpret it to mean anything I want, right?

When it refers to "him/her/it" it is referring to the character to which the card belongs, you could not choose another figure.

A character that does not state "give him an action and you win the game" does not mean you can give him an action and claim you won the game.

While you're correct, dairoka was being a funny guy and in no way serious, I believe.

Also, just for clarification - If Flash uses Perplex or Outwit, when he leaves the map are those powers still in effect? They last until the power is countered or lost, and I don't think either really apply to simply being "off the map." I'm assuming he wouldn't be able to use PC at all.

I'm not sure if this has actually been ruled on before using the capture ability. I tried doing a search as well as checking the players guide and rulebook and came up empty so far.

Yes, I was. Next time, I will use teal.

It was a bad example. I started my response by saying CCE.

The problem is people's perceptions of what a power action is and what it means to give one. There is no problem with the wording.

In other words...Hypersonic Speed is NOT a power action. Hypersonic Speed IS a power which is activated by giving the figure a power action.

I'm thinking one of the reasons the line "after resolving that action" was included is so that it's clear that he still takes push damage if he pushes to use the power action to vanish from the map as some might interpret he's no longer on the map during the action.
