if i have some avengers T-Bolted to defenders do they get a benefit from being adjacent to an actual Defenders team member? or is it someone with the Avengers TA also T-bolted? i just want to clarify

The t-bolted avengers can both get and give their defensive value to other "natural" defenders. They are treated as if they actually "possess" the selected team ability unlike wildcards that can only "use" team abilities possessed by teammates.

Alright thanks, thats very good to know. and so i could make an even better Defenders team than usual by T-bolting the 20 defense Antman to defenders, because i believe the highest defense of a natural defenders piece is 19. so that shared 20 defense in say a 1000 colossal scenario would be helpful

this is nothing new and in fact one of the oldest forms of abuse w/ Thunderbolts.

meh.

one of the oldest and best tricks is to have Supernova Thor VET Thunderbolted to defenders and carry Antman around. And put protected on Antman.

Thunderbolts and Defenders
One real, one pretender
LE, Hallelujah, hallelujah
Magnificoo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooo
I'm just a poor boy, give me some super rares
No, I will not let them go
Let them go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

Mama mia...!

18 actually. Jakeem Thunder has a 19 defense and the JSA TA, perhaps you are thinking about him?
And while we are on the subject... a real old-school combo is E Black Adam and Ant-Man thunderbolted to JSA.

Can you list characters that have been made w/ Defenders team ability. And what characters from Thunderbolts have they made? This is for my own purposes....

Just go to the units section. You can search for TAs, keywords, whatever.

thank you

filler

...which is wholly responsible for my Heroclix addiction and spending hundreds of $$ in the last few months.

Beware.

Tell me about it...

Cheapest Batman alley... got to have that.

18 point piece with 12 movement phasing... got to have that.

A generic with willpower, flight, and stealth... got to have that.

etc...
ect...
ect...

...and though that one Silver Surfer doesn't seem too playable I have the others, might as well get that one too. Check it out, Incredible Hulk has the Avengers TA NEED that...

and while we're at it, i see that dc Ares almost useless, but he is worth maybe $50, so gotta get him to show off, and chase bats, i have one, why not the other...

It is an addiction
