Question

145 – 1. I see in the rules that if a character has an ability stating it cannot be confused that it cannot have confused status cards placed on them. What If a character gains this ability but they already had a confused Status card, does it work like stalwart in that it removes the one that was already there? Magneto being confused or having one confused status card on him while he has the steady keyword, then revealing Magneto’s helmet as an example. 2.Same question for stun, thanks! 3.If a double tough Colossus changes to alter ego form, does the game see that and I must remove one of those toughs? I’m assuming all these are a Yes and it’s probably because of “cannot.”

Answer

  1. No. With Steady, what you’re essentially doing is ignoring the first confused/stunned status card placed on a character until a second one of that type is placed. If a Steady Magneto has 1 confused status card on him when Magneto’s Helmet attaches to him, the confused status card remains on him unless he gains Stalwart.
  2. See #1.
  3. Yes. Only Colossus’ hero form can have 2 tough status cards placed on him. If he flips to Piotr when he has 2 tough cards, he must discard 1.
