Charles Xavier (A great ability idea)

I've had this in my head for about a month now so I finally decided to suggest it and hope the right eyes saw it. I thought a good idea for an ability (hopefully for Professor X) would be along the lines of this:

"Professor X controls the minds of all who are present freezing the board allowing you to make up to 2(2+1+1+1+1) tile swaps before enemies regain control of their mind."

So in theory you would be able to swap any two tiles that are next to each other (as normal) two separate times (with any two tiles each time again) BEFORE anything breaks. The idea of the move is similar to Magneto [Marvel Now]'s Polarity shift in the sense that you want to make a combo that will hit critically. The difference is you can make these combos with any colors you want added to your pool-not just whatever colors Professor X hits hard with.

I have no idea how this move suggestion works. I don't really care about being accredited for this although I wouldn't mind getting a hero with this abilities with a point in each of their abilities. :p Nonetheless if this wasn't clear enough I can expand upon it. I did figure Xavier's other two abilities would be more board control oriented as well-but through countdown tiles. 1 short and 1 long. Lastly, another idea I toyed with is instead of swapping tiles next to eachother you could make the move Like Magneto [Classic]'s Magnetic translocation. Except that you would chose 2 (2+1+1+1+1) tiles to trans-locate before any breaks.

I look forward to seeing you all on puzzle quest!

    And we just drop an ambush and move these reds here and voila! we made daredevil useful!

    Imagine the UI for swapping 6 pairs of tiles at five covers. You have to select 12 different tiles, in alternating order. Sounds like a recipe for analysis paralysis.

    What about Prof X levitates the board swapping the bottom row with the top?

    or

    Prof X takes the fight to the astral plane, turning the board 90 degrees

    or

    Nothing to see here: Prof X removes 3 strike tiles from the board

    or

    mental implant: Prof X undoes the last move, takes back an enemy ability and gives no AP refund

    or

    clean slate: board wipe

    or

    Legion virus: turns a tile into a green countdown tile that changes a random tile into a green countdown tile that changes a tile into a green countdown tile etc
