I suspect I know the answer to this question but I don't the whys and wherefores.

I have a character with Super Strenght and Running Shot, he is carrying an object. Can he throw the object as his Running Shot attack?

I suspect not but I don't know the rules that apply.

yes you can

yes, you can.

Throwing an object is a ranged combat action.

Running shot is a power action that allows for a ranged combat action, so throwing an object is good to go.

Note that HSS allows for a ranged or close combat attack, not action, so you can't throw an object while doing a drive-by.

never would have thought of doing that combo

Only 37 figs have that combo together

only 1 has less then 3 base damage (warbird)

all are flyers except yellowjacket (so your not trying to get rid of the object to be carried)

all have 6 + range except R yellowjacket (he has a 4)- makes him the best to use if he has a light object he could throw it for 6 vs his 4 range for 2 damage vs his base 3 damage

Now with the crate(8 range) 7 other figs have only a 6 range and all have 3+ base damage (EV Yellowjacket, EV Supergirl, E Major force, R Thor, R Blastaar)

of course edit would be nice

forgot some dont have running shot and SS on the same click like Iron Man

Only 19 figs have the combo to start with

and the figs that I have listed above that could "benifit" from this all have the power combo together

It's an especially fun way to deal with Stealthers if you're using a flier and don't have an Ultimates/Trick Shot thing going on. Running Shot adjacent to someone hiding on an object, snatching the object as you move adjacent to them and then shooting with a ranged attack. Then next turn push to smash them with the object, close-combat style. I particularly like Captain Atom for this.

Is that legal? I thought once you moved adjacent to an opposing fig and declared an attack your movement was over and you wouldn't have a chance to pick up the object.

A flyer ignores other figs during its movement. Take for example a flying fig with running shot (say 10 MV) and super strength. For a running shot attack, it could run up to a fig on top of an object, pickup the object and then fling the object at the fig (all this must be within the 5 square movement for the running shot).

How clever you people are. I was using Yellowjacket with a light object, mailbox I think. I started to do it and then I decided that it felt wrong but I wasn't sure why.

Thanks folks.
