BATTLE FURY. This character may not be given a ranged combat action. This character is also immune to Mind Control and cannot be carried.
This is wizkids definition. Hulk gets battle fury after taking a punch or two and my question is this...
The rule says this character may not be given a ranged combat action. Does this mean the Hulk can't be attacked from another character unless that character is in an adjacent square?

First up, that's the old rules. The new rules are contained within the Indy Rules and Battle Fury reads:
"BATTLE FURY This character may not make a ranged combat attack, may not be targeted by Mind Control, and may not be carried."
A slight difference (ranged combat action vs ranged combat attack) that may be more appearant as you learn the game.

No, it means the Hulk can't make a ranged combat attack. If he had a range or wanted to throw an object, he couldn't. Others can still attack him with ranged attacks (just not mind control).

Battle fury is the biggest double edged sword attack.
What is the price for not getting Mind Controlled? You can't be carried, you can't make ranged attacks. While this isn't much of a deal as most figures with this power don't even have ranged attacks the not being carried part is big for some. The true thing behind this power is not many people care about Mind Control now a days. Too often they find that having to successfully attack someone and then have them turn around and successfully attack someone else is harder to pull off than just straight attacking someone. Now that it doesn't give an action nobody seems to care.
Oh well. Also you can't outwit Battle fury with your outwitters allowing your Battle Furious people to be carried. It can be outwitted just not by you.
Left Wing?
Right Wing?
Doesn't the eagle need both to fly?
Supes you raise another question for me. I thought Telekenisis was the only way to move someone else without recieving an action. Are you saying that if I were to mind control someone on my own team, I could move them within the rules of Mind Control and not give that person a token? Or even possibly Mind Control one of my own characters to attack one of my opponents and then not take a token?
Canada Maestro were can I get a copy of an all inclusive set of rules?

With the new rules, the action given to a character who is mind controlled is given as a Free Action (which doesn't put a token on the character). However, you still can't MC your own character as you can not target them with a damage or non-damaging attack unless a power explicitly allows it (like Support).
