We are issuing errata and providing clarification for #038 CopyCat from the recently released Marvel HeroClix: Deadpool set.

- Original Wording: INFILTRATE MY ENEMIES: Before placing characters in your starting area, you may choose an opposing character that is 100 points or less. Copycat becomes friendly to that character’s force and that character becomes friendly to your force. Any game effects assigned to each of them is now assigned to the other. When Copycat fails a roll for Shape Change or uses Regeneration, after actions resolve, this effect ends and any game effects assigned to each of them is now assigned to the other.

- New Wording: INFILTRATE MY ENEMIES: Before placing characters in your starting area, you may choose an opposing character that is 100 points or less not named Copycat. Copycat becomes friendly to that character’s force and that character becomes friendly to your force. Any game effects assigned to each of them is now assigned to the other. When Copycat fails a roll for Shape Change, uses Regeneration, or is knocked out, after actions resolve, this effect ends and any game effects assigned to each of them is now assigned to the other.

Clarifications:
- Placement: Copycat physically begins the game in the starting area of the opposing player and is placed by that player just like any other character on their force. The chosen figure begins the game in the choosing player’s starting area just like any other character on their force.

- Scoring: Copycat and the chosen character become members of the opposing force for scoring purposes. This means that when Copycat is Ko’ed with INFILTRATE MY ENEMIES still in effect, the player opposing Copycat would score her Victory Points. Similarly, when the chosen figure is KO’ed with INFILTRATE MY ENEMIES still in effect, the player opposing the chosen figure will score its Victory Points.

- Effect Ends: INFILTRATE MY ENEMIES ends in a number of ways, all of which are stipulated in the power. The effect ends when Copycat fails a Shape Change roll, uses Regeneration, or is knocked out. The effect DOES NOT end if the chosen figure is knocked out.

This has been out since the 4th guys

Finally? The set's only been out for a couple weeks, so that's a pretty quick turnaround time for errata.

Phew! Vlad "finally" responded to this post!

IMO who knows how long before the set released that copy cat would cause some big waves in heroclix. I would not be surprised if they start theory crafting months in advance for new sets. Having some sort of clarification on potentially game changing pieces like copycat before they become legal in tournament use should be a goal.
