Question

I have two questions: 1. Can I use the Response on Wonder Mans Ionic Physiology when I’m at full HP? 2. What Happens to Hercules Labor, if there is no valid target? For example: I reveal defeat the Hydra and the only possible Minion (Lernean Hydra) ist already dealt as an encounter or boost Card?

Answer

1. As written, Ionic Physiology would not allow Wonder Man to tuck an event if he is not able to heal. This limits him in a way that was not intended, so it will need an update. Ionic Physiology’s cost arrow should instead be replaced with “Then” (“…tuck that event from your discard pile under this card. Then, heal 1 damage from your identity.”). This allows him to tuck a card even if he’s at full health, while also maintaining that he doesn’t heal when triggering the ability unless he tucks a card first. This erratum will be included in our next Rules Reference Update.

2. If a Labor card cannot enter play (such as Defeat the Hydra being unable to attach to Lernean Hydra), place that card on the bottom of the Labor deck. (This can cause it to become the only card in the Labor deck. You can then use Hercules’ alter-ego to reveal it at a more preferable time.) Since this rule isn’t outright stated in his hero pack, we will look to adding an FAQ entry in the next Rules Reference update.
