Add on the fact that he can place 3 shadow spaces into your base for extra defense, he definitely makes worth of his points.

Good stuff.

I don't see how he's a counter to Invisible Woman or Captain America... he prevents people from "targeting" adjacent figures for special powers, but neither Invisble Woman nor Captain America do any "targeting" for their team-boost special powers. Of course, Cap can't attack someone next to Obsidian with Shield Throw, but that doesn't stop him from giving his allies a +1 boost.
