FEAR works great for your Tentpole.

Hopefully there is a Yellow Shield for your Tentpole as well.

No, that would negate the power of the yellow ring. You mean Fearfully there is a Yellow Shield for your Tentpole.

"EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM: FEAR: If the Power Battery, attached Power Ring, and Constructs are all the same color, opposing characters modify their attack values by -2 when targeting a friendly Corps Member of a higher point value."
Am I right to assume, that if a lower point opposing character tries to use Pulsewave on one of my Corps Members and the Power Battery is not in the area of it they will get the -2 on there hit chance? If it does work, will it work even if the Power Battery is in the Pulsewave?

Batteries have an non-ignorable attack criteria. The pulse wave WILL be -2. You can essentially potentially have a +5 to your defense (+3 defense, -2 attack (-3 if you use your perplex to perplex down someone's attack)). This is super tent pole happy

That is not correct. Using the key phrase of the Emotional Spectrum ability here, "...modify their attack value by -2 when Targeting a friendly Corps Member...", Pulse Wave will still bypass this as pulse wave uses an Area of Effect which states in the rule book that Areas of Effect Do Not Target. Since a character is not being targeted, the conditions for the Emotional Spectrum are not met, therefore it does not modify during pulse wave.

You have a case of confusion. It's even used as an example in this ruling: http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=519913

This exact batteries emotional spectrum is cited in the ruling. About halfway down. Big bold letters in a box. Can't miss it

Pulse wave will, however, ignore the perplex that may have been used.

_______
While it's true that Pulse Wave will not ignore the emotional spectrum, this is ultimately irrelevant I believe, as pulse wave does not target... so it doesn't trigger the -2 penalty afterall, due to how the E.S. of the Sinestro Corps Power Battery is worded.
