Hypersonic + Taunt

I was woundering if you could use Taunt with Hypersonic. Jolt from Fantastic Forces has Hypersonic with range of 6. The rules say you can make a ranged attack with Hypersonic so I thought I'd ask.

from Marvel Universe PAC
Hypersonic Speed (optional): Choose one of the following: (1) When you give this character a move action, it automatically breaks away and may move through squares adjacent to opposing characters. This character receives one free action during its movement that it may use to make a close combat or ranged combat attack. It can continue to use the rest of its movement after making the attack.
(2) Give this character a power action. It may perform a close combat attack as a free action. If the attack is successful, this character may continue to perform close combat attacks as free actions against the same target. Increase the target’s defense value by 1 for each successful attack after the fi rst until the attack ends; for each attack, compare the attack value to the modifi ed defense value. The attack ends when the attacking player declares an end to the attacks or an attack misses. When the attack ends, damage dealt equals the number of successful attacks made by this character with this power action.

from Taunt
Choose a character.
Give this character a power action; it makes a ranged combat attack targeting a single opposing character to which it has clear line of fire within 6 squares. If the attack succeeds, it deals no damage. The target must either attempt to move adjacent to or attack this character next turn.

Since a power action is neither a close combat or ranged combat attack, the answer is "no."

(You might then ask, "But the power action lets you make a ranged combat attack, right?" Yes, it does, but you can't both use a move action to activate HSS and a power action to activate taunt in order to get to *both* of the ranged combat attacks involved... they can't be combined.)

TRADES. eBay.
An Admin told me that I'm "too smart" for Another Realm. I hold that as a standing order.
