Thanks for helping out. Ya'll always come through for me. My questions are, when using the Pounce feat, can Super Strength be used? Can you pick up an object while moving toward your target and use it? Also, can Pounce be used with B/C/F?
Another question since I'm here. Can Psychic Blast or Exploit Weakness be used with Hypersonic Speed? Thanks and God bless.
GunslingerTroy is not to be traded with until current issues are resolved!
Can you pick up an object while moving toward your target and use it?
Since this wasn't specifically answered, here goes: Probably.
Normally, a character may pick up an object any time it is moving: part of a Charge, part of a Pounce, plain ol' move action, whatever. Then, since Pounce grants a close combat attack at the end of the movement, you could indeed clock the opposing character with the object you picked up during the move portion of Pounce.
Now, the only time this won't work is if A) the object in question is in the same square as the opposing character and B) the Pouncing character is not a flying character. Since non-flying characters immediately stop moving once they become adjacent to an opposing character, your character won't be able to pick up that object that is in the same square as your target. If you are Pouncing with a flying character (say U Mimic), then flying characters ingnore opposing character while moving and could swoop in, grab the object (since it didn't have to stop when it became adjacent to the opponent), then end the movment and attack.
Also, Pounce/Super-Strength is one of the reasons Pounce is so popular; if positioned correctly, your 2-damage figure is suddenly 2+1(pounce)+2(HO)=5 damage (6 with the special HO that gives +1 to damage).
This is also why Universe Starter Spider-Man is useful in unrestricted events; throw on Pounce and, for 55 points, you've got pain...
Now, the only time this won't work is if A) the object in question is in the same square as the opposing character and B) the Pouncing character is not a flying character.
And C) if the object is the Meteorite.

I've always thought that you can attack with B/F/C's when Pouncing, you just don't get any bonus for the damage roll. Am I wrong??
BCF only activates when the character is given a close combat action. As I stated above with he EW question, Pounce only grants a close combat attack. BCF does not work with Pounce.

But you can use BFC with Flurry and Charge, right? That is because a character is given a Close Combat action to activate them, and Pounce needs a Power action?

So, I'm assuming that BCF Doesn't work with Charge either!

Correct. Unlike most any other power, BCF doesn't actually have its own action; instead, it activates whenever a close combat action is used. So if you use Flurry (which is a close combat action), then that activates BCF.

And you'd be assuming incorrectly. Charge, at the end of the movement, grants a free close combat action. That action can be used to activate BCF.
