This guy's a freaking menace. He can disappear into a crowd and make it look like you mugged an old lady. He's unparallelled at intrigue, and disguise.

    Great support character! I don't remember him being able to mimic powers though, which makes purpleflag.png a little confusing.

    He definitely needs a shape-shift type ability. Since he can take the shape of anyone, why not make it something like DPs black, not knowing he is there, he jumps in front taking x% damage, healing after.. but add a spike to the heal, like ares sunder when it heals him.

    not sure, going to have to think that one through. I do like the tile generation and stealing from his other abilities...makes him a great carnage counter, which makes sense, as he was in love with peter parker.

    Yeah. I remember him using gadgetry and prop work to stage up fake takes on real abilities. Like using wire work to make it look like he can climb walls like spidey.

    Then possibly an invisibility trap tile. He goes invisible (with the normal invisibility conditions, no DD, but takes AOE) with a countdown.. if matched(by either team) before the timer is done, his gadget does X damage? If not, returns 1/2 Ap of skill.

    What if the invisibility tile masks him as a member of he enemy team and converts the enemy visage such that all enemy team members are e same guy. Higher covers mean heir abilities and their stats are obfuscated, too.

    It would be TOUGH to chisel down the right guy when all the enemy looks the same and can't be separated by tile strengths or ability scores.

    Wonder how that would work, sounds fun though! Even when mystique is shapeshifted, her logo is still there, as are her skills.. couldn't you just click on an enemy and see their powers?
