I'LL SHOW YOU IMPERVIOUS: Brainiac can use Impervious. When turning the dial, if this click is revealed due to damage taken from an opponent's attack, stop turning the dial. This power cannot be countered or ignored.

Am I able to counter the 'Brainiac can use Impervious.' portion of this special power? I know it says this power can't be countered or ignored, but I'm thinking that means the whole special power itself. I remember reading one time that if a special power specifically said 'Character can use (insert power)' you could just counter that part and not the whole special.

You can only counter powers that are possessed, not used. For special powers that lets a character use a standard power, you would have to counter the entire special power. In order to counter a standard power within a power it would have to say the character has or possesses that power. An example of this would be The Atom and Hawkman duo figure's defense power.

Aww shucks. Thanks for the quick reply!
