The wording of various Great Captain or Great Captain of Krakoa traits in X of Swords uses an odd "Have" language. Specifically, as an example, Cyclops 013's trait reads as follows:
Leadership. When Cyclops uses it and succeeds, this turn friendly characters that have [X-Men Team Ability icon] may use it as FREE.
1: Are we back to a distinction between "possess" and "use" here? By that, I mean "is this looking specifically for the X-Men Team Ability icon, or do Wild Cards who can use the Team Ability benefit from this?"
If Wild Cards do NOT benefit, then this feels a lot like a past moment in Clix when the Fantastic Four Team Ability cared whether you were a Wild Card or had the actual icon as to how it worked, and that aggravates me. :/

Have means "is printed on the based". Can use means that character can use the TA (via having the Ta syjbol printed or copying via a Wild card).
For example:
Waller trait had been ruled to work on characters with the Squad TA printed on the base, but not on WEildcards that can use the TA.

If any of the sentences would make more sense if the verb (or any other word) was a negative please treat it as such.
A team ability that is a “Wild Card” allows characters to copy team abilities from other friendly characters. Wild Card does not grant the team ability symbol, only use of that team ability. An effect looking for a specific team ability symbol would not find a Wild Card using that symbol’s team ability. Once chosen, the team ability copied by Wild Card can continue to be used by that character even if no other friendly characters are able to use the team ability anymore (such as if they’ve all been KO’d).
