Calculator's SP:

OBSESSIVE: Calculator can use Outwit. When he does, roll 2d6 and subtract the greatest number of characters from the opposing force that share a common keyword; if the result is 4 or less, at the end of your turn deal Calculator 1 unavoidable damage.

Superman Enemy TA (from the www, there's no Legion Starter PAC in the units for the DC Team Abilities at least): When two friendly Superman Enemy team members are adjacent, the character with the highest point value gains the Outwit power. If that character already has Outwit, then this team ability has no effect. If two adjacent friendly Superman Enemy team members have identical point values, the controlling player chooses which character receives the Outwit power. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed until the chosen character loses Outwit. This team ability is cancelled at the end of an action in which the two Superman Enemy team members are no longer adjacent.

Can Calculator use the Superman Enemy TA to gain regular Outwit as he only can "use" Outwit supplanted by his SP?

Additionally, IF he indeed can use Superman Enemy to gain Outwit, would it trigger the Outwit check roll?

Thanks!

yes he can get the outwit from the TA (ask harpua for his Leader reference how he can use it 4 times in 1 turn)

i would say yes it would trigger the second part of his SP, as since it just says when he uses outwit.

Also for TA's u just use the PG.

Correct on both counts

Thanks you both. Shucks, though...as I was hoping that the usage of the SE TA would bypass the Outwit check roll, but alas!

Now, I am extremely curious....

Harpua, how can it be used 4 times in ONE turn?

here you go

Comes up often enough, I almost think there should be a sticky "How Harpua demonstrates using Outwit 4 times in one turn"

just wait, how many times could he do it with compel?

Does this mean he can use Outwit twice in one turn?

If he uses it via TA, but then the characters lose adjacency, via being carried, running shot, or charge. He could then use his SP?

The question, as I understand it, is can Calculator turn off Obsessive (Outwit+drawback) and gain standard Outwit through the SE TA, thus avoiding the roll? I can't see why not.

Infinitely, if you had infinite actions.

Yes

He could even use it if he still has it from the TA.

He doesn't HAVE Outwit. He CAN USE Outwit.

Yeah, he could do that.
Neither can I.

Alright, I am still confused, slightly. This is more for my own clarification purposes, so I can explain it when I eventually do it. ( I love the Calculator piece!!)

I understand that he CAN USE Outwit via the SP and does not possess it. But, the TA states that he GAINS it; is there a difference?

Also, what if I turned off the SP for the purposes of the TA to avoid the roll? is it possible to turn it back on to use the outwit via the SP?

I guess I am trying to figure out how this all works:
I use the TA to gain outwit and use it, but have "turned off" the SP , so I avoid rolling. But, then I want to use the SP outwit, since I "gained" it via the TA, can I use the SP?

Yes. Gains means that he possesses it, but the TA doesn't say gains.

No. Once a power is canceled, it remains canceled until the end of the current turn and resumes its effect at the beginning of the next turn.

You would have to use the SP first.

Thanks again for clarifying

Once again, I have been confused by a wrong power quote

Calculator can get hurt by using Superman Enemy, but Starter Set Dr. Doom benefits from it.
