Can you mastermind poison

Can you mastermind poison damage?

Poison states: Once at the beginning of your turn, as a free action this character deals 1 damage to each opposing character adjacent to it.

Matermind states:
Each time this character would be dealt damage, you may instead choose to have all the damage be dealt to a single adjacent friendly character with a lower point value than this character. If the damage resulted from an attack with knockback, the character that takes the damage is knocked back. If a character is KOd by damage dealt using this power, it is considered to have been KOd by the character that originally dealt the damage. Damage dealt by this power is not an attack.

Since poison deals damage and Mastermind talks exactly about "damage dealt", then yes you can use mastermind against poison.

I'm Sorry, I'll Have To Disagree With You.

That Would Be Like Someone Walking Into A Poison Cloud Or Fire Pit And Saying "Quick Bongo, Breathe The Air For Me/ Quick Bongo, Let Me Get On Your Back." It Just Doesn't Make Sense.

Yeah maybe it doesnt make sense but lots of things about superheroes dont make sense :)

But from the wording of the rules, it does sound like you can mastermind poison damage like gamescollector said
