Question

I have a question about modular sets, which will only come into play when Kang is released, but more so with the Guardians of the Galaxy box. Can you use the Ronan print and play Kree Fanatic mod with the Ronan Guardians of the Galaxy box scenario? I remember you mentioned in the Kang stream that Kang had a modular set with a different title so he could be used in the same Kang scenario.
But how will modular sets with villains with unique names be handled? Can you play the Ronan modular set in the Ronan box scenario, and Ronan would surge if the minion was drawn?

Answer

Yes, you can add modular sets to scenarios that share similar unique characters. Currently, if a unique encounter card attempts to enter play while another unique card with that same title is already in play (such as the Ronan the Accuser minion trying to come into play while you’re playing against the Ronan the Accuser villain), that first encounter card will fail and be discarded.

That’s it. However, in the next Rules Reference update, we’ll be adding a rule that says when this specific situation occurs, a new encounter card is revealed from the encounter deck in place of the failed one.
