i was speaking to some friends and they were sayin that ULTRABOY has to be used with only one power at a time.

I was under the impression that it was only a part of his "BIOGRAPHY" on the wizkids site, i didnt think it had to be taken litteraly.

Please , can anyone help out, whos right on this.

thanks

Do any of his actual powers described on the card have that limitation?

That's your answer right there; the biography is just fluff to give players an idea of who exactly they are playing with, in case they didn't already know.

In the comics, Ultraboy can only use one power at a time.

In Heroclix, he has no such limitation.

You play him as you want.

I don't think he can use two superpowers at the same time.
He may have several on the same click (like Flurry and Impervious, or Flurry and Psy-Blast), but he isn't very likely to use both at the same time, is he?

Really no. But just for fun in comics flurry and charge are not really a power anyone can do that has powers. He does that ing the comics. His flight is from the legion ring so that frees him up to use a power like super stength or physic blast on his attack and hss on his speed. So when he is on the offensive he can use those power. Toughness, super sense, & imperviouse he can use when he is on the defensive hence he is using one power at a time. Just if they ask. Think of him switch between your turn & your opponents turn. If they are looking for the comic feels.

Ultraboy's different clicks represent him switching between powers to use. He's not limited to one power slot at a time.

I hope that helps.

The above posters are correct. The only "conflict" is when he's holding an object with Super Strength and gets attacked, triggering his Impervious. Ultra Boy in the comics would not be able to use his strength and imperviousness together like that. No such limitation on his Heroclix, though.

When that happens, Ultra Boy obviously throws the object he's carrying high into the air, and then switch to Ultra-invulnerability a split-second before the attack hits him

Then, after he's shrugged of the attack and the object is coming back down, he switches back to Ultra-Strength and snatches the falling object out of the air!

Zing!

I was really hoping they would have a special power for him to reflect his unique nature

Alas, it was not meant to be.

Even though it's reasonable enough, I really hate that rationalization. If he has the presence of mind and awareness to do all that, he'd just, y'know, not get hit at all.

Me, I'll get around it like this: he just won't grab an object until he actually Charges. No conflict.
