Nope, as they already said... everything but courage in the G: Remote Presence works ONLY if the troop with it has STR... And they are not remotes (so no -3 to dodge, like Dr Worm :p), etc... Funny thing, the Courage bit is only relevant to the Mk3 & Mk4 proxies (because all others have NWI, which has Courage nested in...).
Yep, but a lot of people thinks he is on looks alone :p Other great mistakes I've seen over the years include that "Isolating a G: Remote Presence remote leaves it IMM2", or that Posthumans can only be repaired by Engineers because they have G:Remote Presence XD
