Mind control reads:



Now, my judge told me that when you mind control, you take damage for fractions of 100 pts. So if you mind control a 50 pt figure, the figure that did the mind control would take 1 damage.

I don't see that wording in the power, it just says per 100 points. To me, this means 1-99 pts is no damage, 100-199 is 1 damage, 200-299 is 2 damage, etc.

In a similar case dealing with a point total, the section in the rulebook on theme teams does specify that fractions of the benchmarks count. My assumption is that if this was also the case for Mind Control it too would specify that fractions count.

I am fully aware that because one thing is one way it doesn't necessarily make another thing that way as well.


So who was right? Me or my judge.

You are correct.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Confirming that you are correct.

Just for further clarification:

Turn 1)
I use dr. Psycho to mind control 3 con-artist (48 points total). Dr. Psycho takes zero feedback damage.

Turn 2)
Clear

Turn 3)
I use dr. Psycho to mind control 3 McSpidey (150 points total). Dr. Psycho takes one feedback damage.

yup, that's how it works

Oh wow, I didn't even think of multi-target MC. That line about combined point values makes a little more sense now.

multi-target MC is where its at!

The best trick to catch people off-guard with multi-MC is to have the first guy carry the second one over to make an attack.

IE, MC Wasp and Hulk (adjacent to each other). First have Wasp carry Hulk over to Thor, then have Hulk attack Thor. Your opponent will try to toss out "no action after carry" to which you reply by informing them that it is "no NON-FREE action after carry" making Hulk's free action attack nice and legal.

JEBUS H CHRIST THATS SICK. I never ever thought of that.

Also since we got this going.

Does this mean, using your example I could carry Hulk with wasp (her action as a free action) and then she becomes opposing. Then punch her with hulk.

This is important for many reasons. I could carry Ironman with wasp and then shoot someone if she remains friendly but I cannot if she returns to being hostile.

Yes. Wasp carries Hulk away as a Free Action immediately after which Wasp becomes an opposing character. Hulk then may clock her, after which he becomes an opposing character, friendly to Wasp.

Hulk then apologizes for smashing small winged woman into ground.

Sick, evil tactic -- my kind'a guy !!

That said, I can't think of an Iron Man that can be carried. As far as I can recall, they all have the speed symbol.

Have some rep!

groan...a drunk iron man?
