Tactical error is supposed to play off the fact that team-up tiles suck. ;0)

Level 4: Deals 7100 damage and place 399 strike tiles
Level 5: Deals 7999 damage and place 485 strike tiles

Dust of Death 13

Red Skull is consume with defeating his enemies and with little care for friends or foes drops a vial that releases a devastating death cloud. Red Skull's team reacts with just enough time to avoid some of the attack. Remove all traps on the board, drain both teams of all red AP. Do 1200 damage to everyone besides Red Skull plus 100 for each red AP drained. Red Skull's team suffers 15% less of the overall attack.

At Max Level:
Level 3: Deals 5200 damage and 155 for each red AP drained. Red Skull's team suffers 25% less of the overall attack.
Level 4: Deals 5200 damage and 185 for each red AP drained. Red Skull's team suffers 35% less of the overall attack.
Level 5: Deals 6800 damage and 215 for each red AP drained. Red Skull's team suffers 45% less of the overall attack.

Mastermind 12

Red Skull has been masterminding an evil plot that stretches within every organization, good and evil for years. Secretly building his own empire and slowly destroying the organizations aimed to take him down. Choose a color, remove 50% AP of that color from both teams and gain red ap in that color at a 3:1 ratio (round up)

<passive> each time the enemy matches their strongest color, gain 1 red AP

level 2: remove 75% of AP
level 3: passive increases to 2 AP
level 4: remove 100% of AP
level 5: gain red AP at 2:1 ratio

I think it's better to to stick to one thread per character. You have 3 different red skulls yourself when you could just append those. (Not a big deal; just mention it because then those builds just disappear faster.)

Anyway I think Disable Target is a bad name but otherwise a solid, interesting power at both the 3 and 5 versions.

Your other powers (especially the 5-star ones) are too complex for what they're worth. "remove 75% AP in a color and gain AP in a 3:1 ratio?" Seriously. That's a rules understanding nightmare.

I get where you're going with Mastermind; targeted ap drain could be useful, gaining Red is useful. You could pick a color you have a lot of and turn it into red. But this power would suck so bad on defense most of the time he'd be close to unusable, especially with dust of death sucking almost as much.

I think DoD is more thematic than usable. I guess it could be a weird way to remove enemy traps but at what cost? Sure a giant AoE (assuming both teams have a lot of red, which would happen more often if he was blocking red use) is pretty nice but I think the drawback/setup is a lot harder than, say, Black Bolt Scream which doesn't do 10k+ to allies.

Anyway I think mastermind would be much, much simpler and just effective if it was "both teams lose X AP in a color, you gain Y red."

Bomb: "if the countdown is matched away it is defused". heh, yeah, duh.

Tactical error is ok. Targeted 6 AP steal might be worth 9 purple in some teams.

I think Tactical Error could be cheaper. Power costs and damages are balancing I'm looking for help with.

As for separate pages, I find it easier to navigate. I guess that is dependent on person. Not that pages is a limited resource. easy to create and nothing to really maintain.

As for the Death Cloud. He only basically removes his own trap. It gets rid of his own red trap essentially. While the wording suggests it would also get rid of any other friendly trap, it's mainly for the on trap.

I play Black Bolt all the time, Getting 5 AP per color and losing all the AP is very costly and not so easy to get. The damage might be too high, but it's also not likely you'll get 60 AP of RED from this power. And even with the mitigation of damage to your own team, you can't expect that a player will fire this power too often. That being said, I also contemplated change to include Red Skull in the damage.

I'm guessing it can be worded better. Or simply changed with minimal difference to the power.
ie, remove 10 AP of choosen color, gain 3 red.
Make the power cheaper and you have a similar enough result.

To me it seems reasonably worded and easily enough to understand. No more complicated than Hulk's green or Ares' powers. IMO.
