Powers and Abilities

SPEED
X FLURRY Give this character a close combat action. It makes two separate close combat attacks
as free actions (making two separate attack rolls) against one or two adjacent targets. Resolve the
first attack before making the second. If this character loses Flurry before it makes the second attack,
it can’t make the second attack.

X LEAP/CLIMB When you give this character a move action, it automatically breaks away
and ignores the effects of characters, hindering terrain, elevated terrain, and outdoor blocking
terrain on movement (but it can’t end its movement on blocking terrain). When you give this
character a close combat action, it can target a character regardless of the target’s elevation.

X PHASING/TELEPORT Give this character a power action and move it up to its

speed value. It automatically breaks away and ignores the effects of characters, hindering
terrain, elevated terrain, and blocking terrain on movement (but it can’t end its movement on
blocking terrain).

X EARTHBOUND/Neutralized This character possesses standard speed

( ), attack ( ), defense ( ), and damage ( ) combat abilities and symbols instead of its
combat abilities and symbols. This power can’t be countered.

X CHARGE Give this character a power action; halve its speed value for the action. Move this
character up to its replacement speed value and then give it a close combat action as a free action.
A character with this power ignores knock back.

X MIND CONTROL Give this character a power action; it makes a close combat or
ranged combat attack as a free action. A successful attack deals no damage; instead, the target
becomes friendly to your force and opposing to your opponent’s force, and any of the target’s
canceled powers return until it returns to its owner’s force. Each target hit can be assigned one
action as a free action. Immediately after resolving this action, the target becomes an opposing
character to you and friendly to its owner’s force. This character takes 1 damage for each 100
points of the successfully hit targets’ combined point value. If this character has a range value of
0, its range value is 4 for purposes of this power and can’t be further modified.

X PLASTICITY This character breaks away on break away results of 2–6. Opposing
characters must roll a 6 to break away from this character. Adjacent opposing characters that can
use Plasticity ignore the effects of each other’s Plasticity.
 X FORCE BLAST Give this character a power action and roll a d6; a single target adjacent
opposing character is knocked back from this character a number of squares equal to the result.The
target automatically breaks away, and can move through squares adjacent to opposing characters.
The target can be dealt knock back damage.

X HYPERSONIC SPEED Give this character a power action. It automatically breaks

away and can move through squares adjacent to opposing characters. During its move, this character
can as a free action make one close combat or ranged combat attack with its range value halved for
the attack.This character must be in a square where it could legally end its move in order to make the
attack. This character can continue to use the rest of its movement (if any) after making the attack.

X STEALTH Any line of fire drawn to this character that crosses hindering terrain, including a
square of hindering terrain occupied by this character, is blocked.

X RUNNING SHOT Give this character a power action; halve its speed value for the
action. Move this character up to its replacement speed value and give it a ranged combat action
as a free action. This character must declare a target to which it can draw a clear line of
fire from the square where it ends its move in order to use this power.

X SPECIAL POWER This character has a special speed power. See this character’s
character card for more information.

ATTACK
X BLADES/CLAWS/FANGS When this character is given a close combat action,
roll a d6 after making a successful attack roll. The result replaces this character’s damage value
when resolving the attack. If the target was blocking terrain, a wall, or an object, it is destroyed on
a result of 3–6.

X ENERGY EXPLOSION Give this character a ranged combat action; this attack
can target only characters. Compare the result of the attack roll to the defense value of each
character adjacent to a target of the attack to determine if the attack also succeeds against
it. Each character successfully hit is dealt damage equal to the number of times it was hit by
this attack (characters adjacent to multiple targets might be hit more than once by this attack).
A critical hit with this attack automatically hits the target(s) of the attack and any characters
adjacent to the target(s), and deals 1 additional damage to all characters hit. If a character
successfully evades, it evades all hits by this attack.

X PULSE WAVE Give this character a ranged combat action; halve its range value until
the action has been resolved. All powers and team abilities possessed or used by characters
within range of this attack as well as feats assigned to them are ignored until the action has been
resolved, though wild cards using this power can use the team ability of a friendly character within
range of this attack. At least one opposing character must be within range of this attack to
activate this power. Draw lines of fire to every character (friendly and opposing) within range in
every direction; these lines of fire ignore characters, but are affected normally by terrain. If clear
lines of fire can be drawn to two or more characters, this character’s damage value becomes 1
until the action has been resolved. Make a single attack roll and compare the result to the defense
value of each character in range; each character hit is dealt damage. Attacks made with
this power do not target characters.

X QUAKE Give this character a close combat action; until the attack has been resolved, this
character’s damage value becomes 2 if it is greater than 2. Make a single attack roll and compare the
result to the defense values of all opposing adjacent characters. Each character that takes damage
from this attack is knocked back.
 X SUPER STRENGTH When this character moves as part of a move action,power
action, or free action, it can pick up an object as a free action and carry it. The object must be
either in a square the character occupies or in an adjacent square. This character can use an
object it picks up as a weapon. If this power is lost or countered while this character is holding
an object, immediately put the object in the square this character occupies. This power can’t be
canceled while this character is carrying an object. When this character makes a close combat
attack targeting blocking terrain, a wall, or an object, modify its damage value by +2 for the
attack; if the character is carrying an object when it makes the attack, remove the object
from the game after the attack is resolved.

X INCAPACITATE Give this character a close combat or ranged combat action; its
damage value becomes 0 until the action has been resolved. If the attack succeeds against a
target that has zero or one action token, give the target an action token.

X PSYCHIC BLAST Give this character a ranged combat action.

Damage from the attack is penetrating damage.

X SMOKE CLOUD Give this character a power action; put up to four hindering terrain markers
on the battlefield within this character’s range. Each hindering terrain marker must be put adjacent to
another hindering terrain marker created by this character. If this character has a range of 0, it can put
the markers only in the square it occupies and/or in adjacent squares. This character must have a clear
line of fire to at least one of the hindering terrain markers. These markers can’t be put on blocking
terrain but can be put in hindering terrain or in squares occupied by characters. These terrain markers
remain until the beginning of your next turn or until this power is countered or lost.

X POISON Once at the beginning of your turn, as a free action this character deals 1
damage to each opposing adjacent character.

X STEAL ENERGY (NON-OPTIONAL) Each time an opposing character takes damage from
a close combat attack made by this character, heal this character of 1 damage.

X TELEKINESIS Give this character a power action and choose one of the
following options. (For all options, this character must have a clear line of fire to the
target and is treated as if it has a range value of 8. For options 1 and 2, the target
ignores the effects of elevated and hindering terrain on movement.) (1) Move an Opposing
Character: This character makes one close combat or ranged combat attack that deals
no damage. If the attack succeeds and the target has or possesses the damage
symbol (but is not a double-base figure), move the target up to 8 squares so long as
it ends its movement 8 or fewer squares from this character. (2) Move an Object or a
Friendly Character: This character targets an object or a friendly character that is 8 or
fewer squares away and moves it up to 8 squares so long as it ends its movement 8 or
fewer squares from this character in a square to which this character has a clear line of
fire. (3) Attack with an Object: This character makes a ranged combat attack targeting
a single opposing character as if it occupies the square occupied by a non-held standard
object; this character must be 8 or fewer squares away from both the object and the
target of the attack. The target of a successful attack using a light object is dealt 2
damage; a heavy object, 3 damage.

X SPECIAL POWER This character has a special attack power. See this character’s
character card for more information.

X BARRIER Give this character a power action; put up to four blocking terrain markers on
the battlefield in any square of clear terrain that is not occupied by a character and is within this
character’s range. Each blocking terrain marker must be put adjacent to another blocking terrain
marker created by this character. If this character has a range of 0, it can put the markers only in
adjacent squares. This character must have a clear line of fire to at least one of the blocking terrain
markers. These blocking terrain markers remain until the beginning of your next turn or until this
power is countered or lost.

X MASTERMIND Each time this character would be dealt damage, you can instead choose
to have all the damage be dealt to a single adjacent friendly character with a point value less than this
character’s. If the damage resulted from an attack with knock back, the character that takes the

one of your dice (or die) rolls and to ignore the result of the original roll. All dice used in the original roll
must be rerolled. A character using this power must be within 10 squares of the character for which the
original roll was made, and have a clear line of fire to that character. A character can use this power on
