Question

I believe in a live stream they mentioned being able to reduce the cost of Spider-Man (Basic Peter) with helicarrier but still having to overpay to meet the 3 icon resource requirement? Is this impossible if those payments aren’t applied to the card?
Also another spend/cost question.
When do you draw a card in response to spending (like with Pym Particles) is it mid spend, after the played card resolves, after all the resource enters the discard?

Answer

The Resource Requirement on Spider-Man (Peter Parker) means that he cannot be played unless each resource of the specified type is spent while paying for his cost. If you reduce his cost to 2 with Helicarrier, you have created a situation where you cannot pay his 3 resource requirement while also meeting his cost of 2, because you are unable to “pay” more than his cost. We do not recommend you put yourself in that situation. For Pym Particles, we believe that you would resolve its ability immediately after you’ve satisfied the cost of the card you paid for (so between Step 4 and 5 of Initiating Abilities.)
