Question

80 – Are the constant abilities on EVA and Hope Summers (ally) in effect while they are in your hand? So if I drew EVA while Fantomx is not in play I would need to discard it and Hope would gain the traits of my identity while she is in my hand? Or do those abilities only come into effect once the cards are played?

Answer

No; these cards must be in play for their constant abilities to be in effect. Hope Summers (NeXt Evolution #204) only gains traits while in play, and EVA is only discarded if it is in play while Fantomex is not in play.
