Traits as a whole can't be countered, but powers and combat abilities granted by traits can be. So yes, his M&A is completely Outwittable.
Actually, no it is not. If his trait was worded as "Possesses" and not "can use" it could be outwitted. But since it is worded as "can use" it cannot actually be outwitted, because you can only outwit a power or combat ability that is Possessed by the target.
He may be fun to play @ 300 points at least once in sealed, but his success depends on how much cover the map can provide-- with no initiative bonus, he's at the mercy of your opponent's map choice. His only real weakness is the -2 AV when using Move and Attack.
This figure is a badass. Played him full-powered in a 300 point multi-player game and he did really well. I had to keep him in constant motion, but this Tony is just stout, even when taking big damage. My favorite 300 pointer.
Ok, I will concede we have received a tad too many Iron Man clix in the past two years. However, there was a time long ago where fans had no Iron Man. We had to wait until the 3rd Marvel set, X-plosion, to finally be able to add ol' Shellhead to an Avengers line-up. Of that 1st REV sampling, only the Veteran was truly worth fielding, and he was an overpriced point sink. The terrible attack stats ultimately ruined that first REV. It took several sets later to finally get some truly playable Iron Man. So, to me, this iteration of the Armored Avenger (and the myriad of recent others) is Wizkids way of saying "Thanks for being patient. Here's your reward." On just attack stats potential alone, this is the Iron Man to fear. Here is his Attack stat potential full dial taking Perplex & RCE bonuses into account 1st click to last: 13/13/12/11/11/11/10/10/12/9. That is simply nuts but appropriate for a 300pt version of the character. Nice work, WK!
Truth. Justice. Honor.
If we want them in our world we need to cultivate them in ourselves.

Possibly my the most comic-accurate Iron Man to date. The rainbow of different powers represents Tony switching tactics as the fight progresses, and while ignoring blocking may be a bit much, ignoring hindering is right-on(he has a vast array of targeting computers and thermal imaging devices in the suit). And for those who are confused about the Move-And-Attack trait, he only gets it on the 300 point dial, not the 150 dial, so they couldn't give him the symbol, or otherwise he'd have to have a trait stating he couldn't use it on the 150 dial.
So very many deadly tricks to Outwit, so many options to fall back on. I think I would have preferred a few sprinkles of HSS as opposed to the Trait, but still a very effective dial.
not sure but i was playing on the warehouse map i think with the fire acts as blocking terrain that says it can't be destroyed now would he still be able to shot through them with his impoved targeting or not since it says

Improved Targeting: Ignores Hindering Terrain, Ignores Blocking Terrain. When a ranged combat attack resolves, any blocking terrain along its line of fire to the target is destroyed.
It's the same as the Negative Zone map special: he can shoot through the blocking but it cannot be destroyed. That shuts down your opponent's ability to retaliate.
Does anyone else never get any mileage out of the Trait? I would prefer something more along the lines of Force Blast, Energy Explosion, or Sidestep.
I just used him in a high point game, and I ended up using his move and attack ability a lot, I had Morgan Le fay on my team so I kept double perplexing his attack value so that the move and attack didn't affect it. And its good to have when you loose other sources of move and attack late dial. I really enjoyed using him.

Im sorry...are you asking if anyone gets "Mileage" out of the move and attack ability? He has perplex and extremely high attack values....so you are basically asking if anyone gets any mileage out of an Ironman with permanent hypersonic speed.
