(Speed) Dr. Caulder: The Chief can use Support.

(Attack) Manipulate: The Chief can use Leadership. If Leadership would allow you to add an action to your action total for the turn, you can instead put a Manipulate token on the Chief's character card if there are two or fewer Manipulate tokens on the card. When another friendly character would take pushing damage, you can remove a Manipulate token from the Chief's character card and roll a d6; on a result of 3-6, the character ignores pushing damage.

(Defense) Strategist: The Chief can use Perplex and Mastermind (he can deal the damage to a friendly character that has a higher point value if that character shares a keyword with the Chief); damage transfered using Strategist may not later be dealt to the Chief.

Brilliant Tactician
Prerequisites: Outwit and Perplex

Choose a character.

Outwit does not need to show in the character's stat slot in order for the character to use this feat.

When the character uses Perplex, the character can affect every target friendly character that shares a team symbol or keyword with it. The character must have a clear line of fire to each target.

(Speed) Unstable: (Non-Optional) Will Magnus and Platinum can't be given a non-free action when they are marked with one or more tokens.

(Defense) Particularly Resistant: Will Magnus and Platinum can use Defend and Toughness. Their defense can't be modified to a lower value.

(Damage) Roboticist: Will Magnus and Platinum can use Perplex. When they use Perplex, they can use it normally or modify by +1 or -1 the same combat value (except damage value) of all friendly characters with which they share at least two keywords (all other rules for Perplex apply normally).

Sidestep
Prerequisites: {duo}

Choose a character.

When using the Duo Attack special ability, before making the second attack the character can attempt to move up to 4 squares (it must still successfully break away, if necessary). If it moves, it must be able to attempt the second attack after the move.

Rejected for membership on Oolong Island, the Leader joins The Substitute Hellfire Club. An odd mix of villians too strange for conventional villian groups. The real mystery is why is Selene hanging with these clowns? Not that they're complaining.........

"I shall show those smug Oolong Island Scientists they made a mistake when they turned me down for membership!!! What?!? I'm not MAD enough for you!!! Watch this!!!"

The Leader forces his companions to mill about in their starting area whilst attacking each other for no apparent reason.

"Is that crazy enough for you!?!?"

"What is the Green guy talking about?" Dr. Polaris asks floating above his allies.

"He applied for admission to our cabal. Unfortunately for him we already filled up our quota for manipulative bastards." Cheif responds

"We did?" Polaris looks around, only seeing a lot of muscle and the golden boy Magnus.

"Yes we did." Dr. Caulder says simply.

"The egg?," Polaris continues.

"No."

"Morrow?"

"Pfft, surely you must be joking."

"Then who? Amazo."

Chief simply shakes his head, thinking to himself, "Perhaps I should bring out his other personality. This one is dense."

I'm afraid it doesn't work like this . Part of an SA is that it has to have a tangible effect. I.e. Hitting a figure but not damaging past reducers, successful Impervious rolls, etc. So, Brood Warrior would need to have -some- damage for it to be an SA.

So, despite that, the Leader would only get 1 SA for the Compel. That action is still legitimate. Compel is effectively Mind Control. When you mind control a figure, it's 1 SA. So I can't Mind Control someone with flurry and get a possible 3 SAs. it's 1 SA, and then any subsequent KOs will be awarded to the Mind Controll-ee. (Though with Compel it would go to the compelled figure.)

Your stats for this turn, I'm afraid, is Leader: 1 SA.

I have no idea how Chief's manipulates are ruled.

I'd say it would be the same as Inspiring Command. I'd rule that that wouldn't grant DFDs, just because it'd be -really- abusive. You could get 20 DFDs in a game if you played it right. I see no exception for Chief because his isn't area of effect but at range.

So, yeah, I'd say no. You could ask Glen though. He runs him in the FLE.
