Bug: She-Hulk Superhuman Strength

This bug actually benefits the player.  :-)

Looks like, if the target of She-Hulk's attack is already Stunned, SuperHuman Strength doesn't go away after her attack.  (I just tested and the card processed correctly on the next attack she made against an unstunned target.)

Hi @DevoDog,

Thank you for your bug report regarding card “01028” (Superhuman Strength) and for sharing your save file. We have received a similar report about this card.

We found an FAQ that states you need to discard this card:

Q: For She-Hulk’s Superhuman Strength card, is it possible to keep the villain stunlocked and perpetually keep She-Hulk at 5 or 7 (with two copies) attack?
A: No, you must discard Superhuman Strength after She-Hulk makes a basic attack, regardless of whether or not the villain is already stunned.

However, we do not agree with this interpretation. The text of the card reads:

After She-Hulk attacks, …, stun the attacked enemy.

In this context, the “attacked enemy” refers to the target of this effect. If the target is not a legal target (for example, if they are already stunned or not in play), the effect cannot trigger.

Therefore, in the current version, we are allowing the card to remain in play without being discarded.

If you believe this interpretation is incorrect, please feel free to share your insights.

Thank you!

That FAQ is no longer correct after version 1.5 of the rules. So Superhuman Strength is NOT discarded in the attacked enemy is stunned. There is a new FAQ regarding this exact situation:

13 – Hi, about SHE-HULK “Superhuman Strength”
Forced Response: After She-Hulk attacks, discard Superhuman Strength → stun the attacked enemy.
ruling 1.5: Cost […] – An ability’s cost cannot be paid if that ability’s effect requires one or more targets and there is not at least one valid target.
If SHE-HULK with “Superhuman Strength” attacks and defeat an enemy the sentence “stun the attacked enemy” seems to have no valid target so, did the “Superhuman Strength” is discarded?
same question if SHE-HULK attacks a already stunned enemy?

To answer your question(s):

No, Superhuman Strength would not be discarded in either instance.

The main reason being, under the updated entry for “Forced” in the rules reference, we have made a ruling stating that if a forced ability requires a valid target but there is no valid target, the ability does not initiate. If an attacked enemy left play before the Forced Response on Superhuman Strength triggered, there is no valid target for the ability, so nothing happens. It’s similar if the enemy is still in play but cannot be stunned (e.g. because it’s already stunned); the Forced Response does not initiate.

Hi @quantumodo,

Thank you for pointing out the new FAQ regarding this situation. We fully agree with you. In most situations, if the rule isn’t clear, we’ll refer to the FAQ as the guideline. However, if the rule is straightforward, we might choose to overlook the FAQ.

Thanks again for your contribution!

Thanks for the clarification!
