No.


Depends, if that person is a psychic and is using intuitive combat, then yes, he could.

Basically, it all depends on what else is happening.

Juicer would be able to because of juicer special skills. Psychic with precognition might get to from the early warning. Intuitive combat would be able to due to special ability.

Anybody else is pretty much snuck.

Thought I remembered crazies not getting autododge against surprise attacks, seems I was wrong (checked book). Add them to the list that isn't snuck, the rest of the world is still screwed though.

What attack are you using from the shadows? Or are you stepping out of the shadows, and into physical form to begin your attack?

No. Surprise attack
The entire experiment may ultimately not work. But as Tiger Woods tears into the springbok, his mouth crimson with blood, he looks to have all the makings of a natural-born killer.

if it is Shadow Meld the superpower, I don't think thermal optics would work. This is ambiguous, as there is a superpower called this and a Nightbane talent.

R:UE gives em all kinds of nifty skills. They may even have had the enhanced autododge before then but I've been too lazy to do a line by line comparison of all the OCCs.
