heck ya! Ultimate Cap here we come! Ho-ah!

Yes you could be right, at work and reading fast, to me guess just another FAQ issue

What that is saying is that the effects of hindering terrain are ignored. All of hindering terrain's effects - on movement, on powers, on combat, and on team abilities. The last one makes no sense really, but all that is being ignored are the effects of hindering terrain.

Yeah, I know how you feel justified. I think all of us who suggested "duplicate TA's" and were mocked because we weren't read the "all new TA"-ad properly feel a little smugger. Snotty of us? Heck, yeah but you have to be at time.

Good call Yeti (I was gambling it would be the "bounty"-style 2000 AD TA though at least it ended up as a TA anyway).

hmm.. this could lead to some interesting effects.. like having a different target declared for Ultimate X-men team, and 2000AD team, wildcards would get the bonus for attacking either target.. more and more wild card fun.

I it just me, or are those the ugliest looking TA symbols in the whole game?

Uh, that's not how I read it. I read that as two segments, the one before and the one after the second "and."

-Members of this team ignore the effects of hindering terrain on movement, combat and powers. (Anti-stealth)

-Members of this team ignore the effects of team abilities. (No declaring me the target of your 2000AD/Ultimate X-Men bump, no making me roll for the Skrull, Danger Girl or KC TA if I want to attack, etc.)

Who cares if they have to roll to base KC?

I am willing to bet that figs like Thor and Ironman are going to have 10 range and some good running shot not to mention the already stated high damage. Who wants to to base when you can rip it up from the outside. I don't see KC TA hindering the Ultimate figs very much.

morlocks seem interesting at most...you d have to have your friendlies adjacent to the enemy fig as well, bringing on the pain of a swarm...interesting...still will abide by the Rule of 3 though

"DOOM eats your puny team abilities, and uses them for himself"

At any time during the game, choose an opposing team or character for this team member

Well, that's a little different than 2000AD, which specified "all team members". Each member gets to pick their own target. Interesting.

I'm stoked about the set as a whole, and three of the new abilities do sound sweet. I also don't see the need for Morlocks, though. They just aren't that interesting.

I'm hoping this doesn't mean we won't see Alpha Flight in this set, and that, like the T-Birds, they'll just share a previously established TA. (X-Men seems like the obvious choice.)

Wow, with interpretation like that, you'll never get nominated for the Supreme Court!

That would allow them to ignore all TA's. Somehow, I doubt that's the intended effect...

Wait.. the Ultimate X-men abiltiy is worded quite a bit differently than 2000AD.. 2000AD sets one target for the entire team, while UXmen can set a different target for each clix w/ the ability... nice.

IE: The Serpent Society...

Looks like Doom did indeed have a teleportation device in his armour and Gates is with the LSH.

Actually, as sweet as it is to see Sidewinder get some kudos I'm just as thrilled that the snakes are even getting made. I was one of those that totally broke into a huge grin when they got into Overpower and I'm smiling even more now that I see I'll be able to put the Serpents onto an HC team and have them do some good (or evil).
