I need expert help please. Twice in the last two days I have caused five damage and rolled doubles, knocking an opponent into a wall. Does my opponent take his damage first, and then knock back, or is all damage subtracted at the end. In one instance I would have K.o.'ed the character if he took reg. damage first (lost inv. and toughness, then hit wall for add. damage).Thanks for any help?

The damage from the initial attack is clicked onto the figure first. After this, the figure suffers knockback. If the figure is knocked into a wall or off of a building, the Defense power that the figure has immediately after the attack is what you use to determine damage. If the figure has Toughness/Inv/Imp/ComRfx then those are factored in separately. Sorry if that's not the answer you were hoping to hear, but that's the way the cookie bounces.

That makes sense. I guess a character would be weakened from the intial hit and then get another dent in his melon from the wall as well. Thanks, wyldstaar!
