Strong Guy needs a figure that can redirect attacks at him.

But what happens if he ends his move adjacent to an opponent's figure but chooses not to redirect the wounds (because he doesn't want Banner to get... hungry, for example)? It says it's a choice to redirect the wound markers, and then says that they're placed normally if he doesn't end him move adjacent to an opponent. So, if you end your move adjacent to an opponent but don't redirect, do they disappear into the ether? Do they get placed on his card? Not that it'll come up often, and I'm probably just being an arse, but I thought I'd bring it up.

Then you just apply wounds as normal. The standard rulebook rules always apply when not exceptioned by the card text. Card text do not have to cover all situations only where it is in exception to the normal rules.

Okay, that makes sense. For the purposes of clarity, though, perhaps it should be updated to 'If Strong Guy does not choose an opponent's figure for Kinetic Redirection, place Wound Markers normally.'. That is, if it isn't too much of a strain on the Art Team.

I like that wording (or something along those lines), LO. If people don't want an art update here, I'll write up a FAQ when I get home tonight.

Just noticed this again - this should definitely be changed, as the wording is opposite to the intent.

It's not opposite to the intent, it's just not as explicit as it could be about what happens when you don't choose a figure for the power.

Probably not a high-priority update (in my mind at least), but it's worth at least FAQing. Never did get around to that.

In hindsight, this guy should work exactly like Bishop, but have only a Melee attack, where Bishop can ranged attack. They essentially do the same thing, absorb attacks and power themselves up, just one turns it into physical strength, the other into a blast power.

I always assumed the reason for him working so differently was because of this line of his bio:

His enlarged frame allows him to absorb kinetic energy, but only for a short time before he must expend it or risk damage to himself.

This still should probably be changed.
