_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Sage's brain works much like a super-computer with unlimited storage capacity, but able to process data much more quickly. She has a photographic memory and can perform multiple complex tasks without any reduced efficiency in any of them. Because of her memory, Sage can predict actions and take appropriate action to aid or hinder those actions. She is also able to analyze a person's DNA, and in mutants, evolve specific traits to enhance their abilities.

-Strategy, Tactics and Tips-- The Mutants that benefit the most from Sage's Mutant Power Boost are those who have the ability to attack multiple times with normal attacks, particularly ranged attacks. Cable, Marrow, and Deadpool are excellent choices. Melee multiple attackers like Wolverine, Beast, Sabertooth, X-23, and particularly Multiple Man also get an especially large benefit. Multiple Man, Deadpool, and X-23 also benefit from Probability Calculation.
- When using Sage in a Mutant build, try to get the Enhancement markers placed quickly and delay contact with your opponent until your key attackers have Enhancement markers set. If your opponent is playing a fast moving team, be careful not to let them get too much board control while you place Enhancement markers.
- Aside from unparalleled Order Marker flexibility, Telepathic Tactician allows the use of powers that require order markers in new ways. Powers that trigger based on there being order markers on a card, such as Joker's Reorganized Chaos, Destiny's Probability Precognition, and several of the Legionnaire powers (Braniac 5/Cosmic Boy/Saturn Girl) can be used without leaving those Order Markers on those cards.
- Likewise, powers that activate "after revealing an Order Marker" like Super Soldier Scout and The Wrecking Crew are more viable with Sage then in many other builds with Order Marker flexibility.
- The Sage/Loki combo gives you two "X" markers that can be placed on any card you want (including Sage herself) to activate "X" marker powers twice in a round.
- Unlike other Order Marker managing units such as Baron Zemo and Hush who can fall victim to assassinations or otherwise be Order Marker risks, Telepathic Tactician puts Sage in charge without absorbing all your Order Markers. Consider drafting Sage with units like Blob to act as a "safe spot" for your Order Markers.
- Probability Calculation is most valuable when it is boosting (or crushing) the odds for unlikely, game-changing powers. At the extreme, Sage can double the probability of a power that kills an opponent's hero on a 20, or eliminate that probability altogether when it is used against her team.
