⚠ This ruling is from an older rules version (Hall of Heroes (rules 1.6)) and might be outdated.

Question

I’ve seen a couple of questions related to playing Black Panther/Shuri/T’challa allies and I was hoping for some clarification: 1) In a true solo game with just Shuri hero, can she play both her signature ally (T’challa) and the Black Panther Leadership ally? Using the Unique Icon rules, it appears that there is no conflict stopping me from doing so. The leadership Black Panther ally has a different title than T’Challa. The Black Panther leadership ally also has a different subtitle than the hero’s alter-ego name (which is Shuri). 2) In a two-player game where Shuri Black Panther and T’Challa Black Panther are in hero form, could the Shuri player play her T’challa ally? There would be no cards that has the T’challa title in play. Currently the rules only ask me to check the titles that are in-play for Uniqueness.

Answer

  1. Yes, the Shuri/Black Panther hero can have both her signature T’Challa ally and a Black Panther: T’Challa ally in play, as these cards have different titles.
  2. No, the T’Challa ally cannot be in play if the T’Challa/Black Panther identity is already in play, on either side. A unique ally cannot be in play if a hero or alter-ego in the game has the same name as that ally.
