Another GREAT read, EG! Informative, educational, and neatly compiled. I'm glad to read Moondragon getting some (well deserved) props, and I'd like to mention the Dr. Curits Conners LE as another good Outwitter. Sure, he's got an activation click to get past, but then his Toughness, Leap / Climb, and last couple clicks of Regen can make him a holy terror. A fun dude to put Pounce on, too...
Although asz is doing a terrific set of reviews on the BFCs right now, perhaps you could mention which BFCs you see as benefitting your teams? Crosswinds would be a no-brainer in this instance (especially after having chosen Selene over Marvel Girl as your last piece), but I'd love to read your thoughts on this as well (cherry on the top of a fine cake! ).
Thanks again for taking the time to do these articles. Great stuff!

Thats going in my Sig line! Plus a Futurama quote (it was over due). Again, great article EvilGenius, hope you keep writting these because they're alot more helpful them some. Required reading for the new player, and there oughta be a test on it for the rest of us.

Ultrahumanite with Pounce? He's at his best away from the battle, because it doesn't take much to put a dent in him. I'd hate to push him off those Outwit clicks, that's why he's never my primary TKer. No matter what happens, you're paying for powers you won't use.
I love Ultrahumanite for theme teams, but not as part of a tossed salad tournament team.
Awesome article. I would have liked to see vet taskmaster on that under perplex. for attack with perplex there is almost no better piece. Stealth 12 atk and a wildcard with perplex if you have PC on your team your not gonna worry to bad about trying to hit KC GL. I agree with the person that said Lobster Johnson for outwit especially his vet with impervious nice atk at 10 and a wildcard to boot if you copy the ultimates TA you can outwith others stealth. For PC you had it dead on with domino There isnt anyone better stealth super senses and PC means you have to get through 3 different powers just to even take a shot at her. not to mention she is cheap and has an awesome attack. Also, Johny Alpha for TK is the best, although a flying TK piece has the added bonus of being able to carry one turn and TK the next. Support is a tough one to fill especially if your looking for front loaded, but if your looking at the other end of the dial there are a ton of awesome pieces that get support later on, Dagger, Beast, Raven (PC, Barrier and Support) and the Thomas Oscar Morrow LE can catch people by surprise with his 10 range Energy Explosion 9 atk super senses and RCE all for 37 points. One last thing to mention now that the feat In Touch with Oracle is out Perplex and Outwit can be put on anyone for only 37 points so even if you want to play a big fig like KC Superman you can still have outwit or perplex.
Yes, I see I forgot that step in this weeks article. I had mentioned it in the first two, I think. Ah well, I was finishing this one at 4:30am this morning! lol!
Step 5: What to Watch out for
As noted, the entire team is grounded, so the biggest thing you need to watch for is the Earthquake BFC. The Poor Teamwork BFC will also make things difficult since you wouldn't be able to use TK.
So the best defense is to make darn sure you have Ordinary Day with you. In fact, I would go so far as to say it's essential.
If your opponent isn't playing one of those BFCs, then Darkness will probably be your best choice. Most of the ranged attack figures on the team only have a 6 range to begin with, and you can still Pounce at someone who's more than 6 squares away.

In memory of Masada.
And my totally sweet ninja name is: Yoshio Yamada -san (evilgenius).
The triple threat theme-team I like this past year was CT Doc Oc-V, Green Goblin-U and Venom-E. These guys were a menace. Good article. Keep ideas coming.
Apart from the Sanitation, the Medicine, Education, Wine, Public Order, Irrigation, Roads, the Fresh Water System, and Public Health…What have the Romans ever done for Us?

Originally posted by RookieHulk Great Idea! I wonder why hardly anybody uses Ultrahumanite.
He only has a 15 defense, and at 80 points that makes him a little vulnerable. He would have been a great support piece in faction tourneys is they'd given him the Injustice League TA, but that's another discussion.
For a good support piece, check REV Raven. It's later in her dial, but she also has PC. Trigon's Daughter is also good in this area.

True, but I would never use Pounce with him while he has Outwit. Best time for it is when he has Super Strength.
