Thanks for running this! I have a bunch of changes I actually want on him so thanks for doing all the testing and saving me time.

Should species be listed in alphabetical order?

Wording in the first ability seems inconsistent with some other figure placement abilities we've done so far?

[japes]

I propose we move him to Final Editing

[Arch-vile]

yea

Wording:

TACTILE TELEKINETIC TOUCH
Before Superboy's move phase, you may choose an adjacent enemy and place that figure within 1 space of its current placement.

SUPER SHOW-OFF
Once per round before Superboy's normal attack, he may have +1 Attack for each revealed Order Marker on a Rookie, Sidekick, or figure in the Titans faction on your team. If Superboy does not inflict any wounds during this attack, roll a damage die against him.

FYI, Tactile Telekinetic Touch is a slight mechanical change from the 1.0 version (which was a 1-space move). If you want to keep that mechanic, I'd go with the below wording. But I think the placement actually makes more sense here.

TACTILE TELEKINETIC TOUCH
Before Superboy's move phase, you may choose an adjacent enemy and maneuver that figure 1 space with Stealth.

Updated with Archie's wording.

[IAmBatman]

yea

[Lord Pyre]

Yea

[MrNobody]

Yea although I will wrastle with Archie a bit on the wording.

Before Superboy's move phase, you may choose an adjacent enemy and move that figure 1 space with Stealth.

I also don’t know if we’ll end up using Stealth as a thematic thing. One direction I thought we could take the Foot Ninja is having them still deal swipes to figures with Stealth. So we may not want it to always just be a shorthand for “ignore swipes?” Kinda similar to how we’re not giving Speedsters the Aqua Affinity symbol.
