Yeah. I did that TF once with a mastermind, and never again. I never thought they'd come up with a task force that screws masterminds harder than "The Beast Under the Mountain" and "Pirates of the Sky" do, but they managed it. We did not have enough control on the team to lock him down, which meant that my minions never got within combat range of him the whole fight, while they got one-shot erased any time they wandered through an air-strike patch. I might as well have not even shown up for that fight.

The earlier ship-to-ship fight, at the flotilla, was just as bad, because highly mobile fights and mastermind minions do not match. The rest of the team flies or superjumps past a gazillion minions to get to the next (timed!) objective that matters. I have two choices: dismiss my minions, join them, resummon my minions (and have the fight be over before I'm done), or put the minions on passive/follow, fly along with them, and get (rightly!) blamed for all the aggro that follows them to us ... if, in fact, any of them survive the trip, which mostly they don't.

Yeah, no. That's a badge that none of the rest of my mastermind characters will ever have.

Having a MM Badger I have had no problems with any Villain SF. But the airstrikes do suck for MM pets.
