well, i suppose, since phasing/Leap/Climbers ignore all opponents, but as for passing THROUGH an opposing square, i dont think so

Since using Phasing I can pass through walls, elevated blocking terrain and I can “ignore the effects of all characters and terrain features on movement”, I always assumed that I could also pass through an opposing figure’s square. Am I wrong? And if I’m right, can I pick an object up as I phase though an opposing figure? Thanks.

Yep this is a speciality of Vision and Apacalypse. Both can phase and grab an object and keep moving. THey just cant attack with it. on the same turn.

What I think Quinteros means, is can a phasing character move through the square occupied by another figure.

As I said yes. It even says it on the PAC.

Characters with Leap/Climb and Phasing may move through opposing figures, yes. They may not end their movements in occupied squares, but other than that can move willy nilly through the squares of opposing figures.

OK..let's try this one then.. say I have Vision taxiing V-Hercules in adjacent to the Bat. Can Hercules then take that dumpster out from under Mr. Wayne and bash him with it using his action? Or failing that, can Vision take the dumpster, drop it off adjacent to Herc, and then watch the cape crumple?

No to both. Vision can set Herc down next to Bats, but Herc will have to use a move action to pick up the object, meaning he can't attack that turn. You would have to roll a succesful breakaway to pick it up with Herc too. Vision could pick it up while moving, but since SS can't be turned off once you pick up an object (exception: Outwit), Vision can't set the dumpster down for Herc to use.

1) Vision Taxiing Herc

Herc would still have to make a break away roll. Becuase grabbing an object can only be used in the movement timing.

2) Vision Grabbing item then dropping it.

No. Once you grab an item unless you get your powr turned off by enemy characters you will have the item. Also again you have to move to pick up item.
