How does this work exactly? Can Ultimate Thor run to a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. guys, then give the S.H.I.E.L.D. guys a token each to improve Thor's damage value?

Or how does it work and has it always worked the way you're about to tell me it works?

Thanks

The way you describe it, Thor going to the SHIELD agents would be fine.

What you *can't* do is carry a SHIELD TA member and use the bonus. The reason this doens't work is because, unlike Enhancement, SHIELD TA takes a Power Action to activate and after a figure is carried it may only be given free actions for the rest of the turn.

In summary:

Moving to SHIELD member with Running Shot and trying to activating TA = ok

Carrying SHIELD member with Running Shot and trying to activate TA = not ok

How can you give a SHIELD guy a power action while Thor is in the middle of his running shot?

It doesn't activate until the actual ranged attack takes place. You have to declare it before Thor starts his Running Shot, then give the token to the SHIELD guy whether or not Thor's attack hits.
