Question

I am playing SP//dr against Ebony Maw and reveal Restrained (The Mad Titan’s Shadow #83) during the encounter card step of the Villain phase. I’m in Hero form and have no allies in play. Restrained therefore attaches to SP//dr Suit (Active), exhausting it. During the next round, I flip down to Alter-Ego form, and Restrained remains attached to SP//dr Suit (Inactive). Will Peni ready at the end of the player phase? Restrained reads: “Attach to a friendly character with the highest ATK and exhaust it. Attached character cannot ready. Hero Action: Spend:energy::physical: resources → discard this card.”

Answer

If Restrained gets attached to SP//dr Suit (Active), and then you flip to Peni Parker, Restrained will remain attached to SP//dr Suit (Inactive) because of how SP//dr is designed, and Peni Parker will be able to ready. Interestingly, because SP//dr Suit (Inactive) is not a character while it’s a Support, Restrained would not prevent it from Readying (as long as it remains a Support).
