Question

I have a scenario that I am looking for a bit more clarity on using Ready for a Fight / Antman’s 2 hero forms. I am in a multiplayer game where I am Ant-man is in Tiny hero form and the villain schemes on another player. I trigger Ready for a Fight to prevent the scheme. One of the effects of Ready for a Fight is that I “change to hero form”. If I am in Tiny form must I change to Giant form so that I obey the “do as much as you can” mantra? Am I allowed to choose if I want to or not? I believe with Cable’s Bodyslide ability (assume he changes to hero form), I may change from one hero form the the other.

Answer

Yes, if you trigger the ability on Ready for a Fight, you must change to a hero form if you are able; in this case, you would have to change from Tiny form to Giant form, and would not get the option to stay in Tiny form. Bodyslide states that other players “may change” their form, and with Ant-Man having two hero forms he can choose to change as well as which form to change into if starting in Alter-Ego. But Ready for a Fight does not include “may,” meaning changing to a hero form is not optional.
