Question

I have some questions to consult with you. 1.After Headpool attack a villainous minion and trigger his response, which player should resolve the boost ability during the minion’s attack? The first player or the player controlling Headpool?
2.When Wheel of Genres or Alert Level environment is flipped, can I trigger Black Widow(protection ally) to cancel the effects of that card and discard it?
3.If there are 2 players, A and B, and multiple encounter cards are dealt to each players simultaneously, such as when revealed ability of Green Goblin(II), what is the order of distribution? AABB or ABAB?
4.What specific types of cards can be selected for Psychic Override? Can I select a type that is not in my hand? Can I select a type that is not in my remaining deck? Can I select a type that is not in my entire deck?
5.How do Operation Zero Tolerance and the facedown Drone minion interact? Is it related to the original card type of the Drone minion?
6.For Kang (The Conqueror), is “The Conqueror” his subtitle?
7.Are Valkyrie(hero) matches with Valkyrie(ally)?

Answer

Headpool’s controller should be the one that resolves the minion’s boost card.
No; Black Widow can be triggered when a card is revealed from the encounter deck, and neither Wheel of Genres nor Alert Level are cards that are revealed from the encounter deck.
In this case, as stated in the “Each Player” entry, the first player decides the order in which each player is dealt cards, and those cards are then dealt simultaneously. This means the cards are distributed as either AABB or BBAA.
For Psychic Override, you can choose any card type that exists in Marvel Champions when resolving the ability, even a type not in your hand or deck.
There is no direct interaction between Operation Zero Tolerance and a Drone minion, beyond the fact that if a Drone minion attacks and defeats an ally, that ally will be placed under OZT. The facedown side of a Drone minion essentially does not matter as that side is not in play.
No, “(The Conqueror)” is not a subtitle, but part of his title. Note, this means that “Kang (The Conqueror)” and “Kang (Master of Time)” aren’t considered to “match” for the rules of uniqueness, as they have different titles and no subtitles, so they can both be in play.
No, they do not match, because the Valkyrie hero has an alter-ego title that does not match the title of the Valkyrie ally. (In hindsight, they probably should have matched, but we are not planning to update them at this time.)
