Question

I’ve noticed a recent ruling on SP//DR and I am still confused about how she works. The ruling says ‘Status cards should be included in both abilities on SP//dr & Suit; all cards that were attached to Sp//dr would get placed on the Suit, including status cards.’ So if you were stunned/confused/tough in hero form those status would stay on the suit when you flip to alter ego. Is Peni still considered to be stunned/confused/tough and if not could Peni become stunned/confused/tough while the suit is? What would happen if Honorary avenger were attached to SP//DR suit?

When you flip to alter ego Honorary Avenger would stay attached to the suit would Peni loose the +1 hit point that upgrade gives her? I’m still unclear what effect the ability on SP//DR suit inactive has on the game. The ability says that when you flip to alter ego any cards or counters attached to Peni should be moved to the suit and the ruling stats this includes status cards, but why would cards like Honorary Avenger or status cards ever be placed on Peni? When you are in hero form any cards or status cards would be placed on the suit since that is your indentity card when you are in hero form. You would not attach cards or place status on SP//DR because that card is an upgrade while you are in hero form. Also what counters are being referred to?

Answer

  • Status cards by definition are “placed” on the identity. If SP//dr Suit (Hero) receives a status card, and then flipped to Alter-Ego, Peni Parker would then be the one with that status card.
  • This is different from cards that “attach.” To use your example, Honorary Avenger gets attached to the identity (either side), and once attached it no longer checks for legality. It would then move as directed by the SP//dr cards. If Honorary Avenger started on SP//dr Suit (Hero), then SP//dr went to Alter-Ego, Honorary Avenger would move to SP//dr Suit (Inactive), and the Suit would not receive any bonuses because it’s not “a character.” Peni Parker could lose a hit point this way.
  • “Counters” in the ability text can refer to any time a counter would be placed on SP//dr’s identity cards, or cards attached to the identity. There currently isn’t a direct method of placing counters on identity cards, but there could be in future scenarios.
