Question

I have a question regarding the Marvel Champions cards Make the Call, and Ant-Man (Hank Pym). Make the call allows you to pay the printed cost of an ally in a discard pile and return them to play. The Ant-Man (Hank Pym) ally has a printed coat of zero, and gains one Pym Counter for every resource you overpay. My question is, if you use Make the Call to return Ant-Man to play, can you still spend resource cards to add Pym counters to him?

Answer

You CAN “overpay” for Hank Pym if using Make the Call, because when paying for a cost you can always generate additional resources, and Hank Pym specifically enables you to “use” those overpaid resources to give him HP. (In most other cases, overpaid resources would be lost.)
