Question

I’m playing as the Falcon hero and I have a couple questions. If the top card of the encounter deck has 0 icons on it, I am assuming that I cannot trigger the Redwing ally hero action or choose to discard that encounter card with cards like Bird’s Eye View and Bird of Prey because I couldn’t affect a target with 0 or 0 additional, is that correct? If I use Sam Wilson’s action, change to hero form, and change back to Alter-Ego during that same turn with Aerial Evacuation, can I use Sam’s action again?

Answer

No; if there are no boost icons on the top card of the encounter deck, Redwing’s ability will have no effect, and therefore cannot be initiated.
No. Limits are card-specific, and do not apply to “new copies” of a card, which is what a card becomes when it leaves and re-enters play. However, an identity card never “leaves play”; when it flips, any limits applied to its abilities remain in effect.
