Something I've always been shaky on is stealth. It comes down to the question: can your other figs see your stealthed figs? If a character has the stealth superpower, can your other pieces see him in order to give him reroll or perplex bonuses? Or, what if you have a Batman team guy; can your other figs see him for the reroll or perplex? It would seem logical that stealth the power and the Batman team ability would only affect your opponent's abilities to see your figs, but I'd like to find out a definitive ruling on the issue. Thanks.
Stealth and the BTA don't differentiate between figures---all LoFs to them are treated the same. However, if you really want to use Perplex/PC on one of your own figures, you can turn off Stealth/BTA. It will remain off for the rest of the current turn, meaning it will come back when you end your turn, before your opponent's turn begins.
If you think you might need to use PC on the stealthed fig, just make sure to turn off stealth *before* you make the attack roll in question. Otherwise it will be too late.

M!
Actually, the ruling from DrGandalf is that powers that haven't been used in the attack can be turned off at any time (including mid-action). He said specifically that it's possible to turn off stealth after the attack roll and enable your PCers to have LOF.
I'm not a big fan of the wording he gave as I figure you have used stealth in the attack (to protect yourself from PCers) but the example he gave that you can't do is turn off BCF after the attack roll as you have already started using it for that attack. But it's how the rule currently is.

That seems extremely wrong. You should have to turn off stealth *before* knowing whether or not you miss (which then gives opposing PCers the chance to make you re-roll). Either everyone can see you to make you re-roll, or no one can - not just your own PCers *if* you happen to need them.
Anyway, until this ruling makes it into the FAQ, it's anybody's ballgame.
