I went through the various questions that got posted to my various blog entires. Many of the questions were either "please change this" (which is not really why I was looking for there) or were covered by my first article on the WK site.
There were a bunch of other things that were asked that should be explained. Those are below.
Q: Trigon's Dopplegangers special power says that they "...can be destroyed as if they are blocking terrain." There are a number of characters that have special powers or can use feats that allow them to destroy blocking terrain (examples include Element Lad with Transmute or Power Man and Iron Fist with Wallbuster). Can those powers be used to destroy a Doppleganger? A: Sure. Yes - anything that can be used to remove/destroy blocking terrain would work against a Doppleganger token.
Q: The rulebook says that a wildcard can use only one team ability per action. The Henchman LE has the Batman Enemy team ability and can be a wild card. Can he use the Batman Enemy team ability in the same action as the wild card team ability (for example, using the Masters of Evil team ability to be given an action while pushed and also borrowing an attack value from an adjacent Batman Enemy)? A: Yes, he can do that. The restriction in the rulebook about using multiple team abilities for a single action refers to what one can do with the wild card ability - it is not for the exception where a character actually has two team abilities.
Q: Can Edward Nigma's A Man Reborn be used every turn? Can it be used with Endurance? Can an adjacent character us Support and Invigorate to clear the tokens of adjacent character as well as the token from using Support (if it's put on Edward Nigma through his special power)? A: OK, to start with, A Man Reborn can be used any time when Nigma can be assigned a token. If he already has two tokens, he can't use the power to get another one.
If he is assigned a feat like Endurance, when he is assigned the second token, he can put the an Endurance token on the feat card instead of taking push damage.
Finally, if an adjacent character is using Invigorate, Nigma can have one of his tokens removed if he has any, but the token from the Support action is not placed to the character until after Support is resolved, and therefore it would not be assigned to Nigma through A Man Reborn until after the tokens from Invigorate have been removed.
Q: Can the HoT Hand Ninja use his special power to make a close combat attack after he's been carried? A: Yes - it is a free action, so he can do it.
I KNOW I'M GONNA GET HATE MAIL FOR THIS:
But I gotta say it:

Score one for sanity!

Okay, good. It seemed like a bizarre exception that only wildcards couldn't benefit from two team abilities at once.
Cool, but this doesn't help my question at all about Trigon and that special power of his.
Everything else is pretty cool. I haven't been using my Henchmen lately, but can't wait to put him with a SinSyn and BAt ENE team. He can finally bridge the two gaps.

nbperp, can we use this thread as a possible Q&A thread to ask more questions and get answers from you? Or is it possible for you to start a new sticky thread that we can post questions that we need answers to?
It would be nice to have one central thread to post to instead of having to search through pages and pages of threads to find an answer to a question we have.

If ya look at the top there is a thread called "Want an answer from the RA? LOOK HERE FIRST!" you go there to ask your questions.
OH I dedicated a thread to it since my friend uses Trigon alot. I wanted to know if characters could stand on the Doppelgangers themselves. People gave their best interpretations for sure, but Nobody had concrete evidence.
This would also help to know if I can throw a barrier on top of it as well (or even smoke cloud) so I can get away from them with out rolling.

The problem with that thread is he doesn't answer questions in that thread. It's not really a Q&A thread. He has links to blogs, which is not as user friendly as an actual thread. And even if you post questions on his blogs, he STILL does not give answers on them (on the blogs themselves).
What I want is a real Q&A thread. A thread I can post a question to and expect an answer from nbperp or a deputy in a relatively short time. Not thread after thread of individuals posting questions, but a single compiled thread for all questions and answers. A thread where the 1st post will be edited to look much like the first post of this thread as new Q&As come up. A thread that I don't have to search through hundreds of threads to find an answer for. Is this something possible? Am I the only one who would find this incredibly useful?

well as stated in that thread he will be posting answers as he gets them but will be putting up an updated PG's when they are all answered and done with.
But yes it would be nice to have a sticky at the top where he can update them as they come, but it would need to be closed so no one can post (IMHO) people should still use the thread that he put there for people to ask.

You can reduce the amount of searching by using tags in the Rules Forum threads. We've been tagging more and more rules threads with the names of special powers or other rules discussed within; so if you're looking for answers about Trigon, for example, click on the tag for his name and you'll get a buynch of relevent threads. Start with the most recent and you'll get to an official answer faster.
