So...

If Longshot is given Lantern Construct Sniper Rifle
can he use his Special Power with a 10 range?

(Special) JUST LUCKY, I GUESS!: Once per game, when Longshot would be KO'd, instead turn him to click #5 and give him an action token that doesn't deal pushing damage.

(Attack) THROWING KNIVES: Longshot has a range value of 4 and 3 targets. When he makes a range attack and hits, roll a d6. Each hit character is dealt damage equal to the result instead of normal damage.

Or...
does his 10 range just get replaced with 4?

Following for the answer...

I want to quite the rule book, but it not being helpful.
However as I remember it, if there two or more replacement values that acting player decides which one will be used.

Or at least that why Common Jay Garick Flash could have charged at full speed back in the day.

The units section shows the effect of the sniper rifle as I would think that means the 10 goes first then is replaced by the 4.

Back in my judgin' days and strictly based on the wording, I would say that his range would be 10. I say that because his SP says he "has a range value of 4", which comes into play first. To me, this doesn't indicate a replacement value as defined by the game, but instead it's more of a "his range is 4". Then, somewhere later on, he gets the Sniper Rifle, which says his range "becomes 10". My brain is a little fuzzy on the specifics, but if I remember correctly, "becomes" indicates that what follows is a replacement value, which replaces whatever value he "had" at the moment he was equipped.

Sniper Rifle replacement must come first before any other replacements. Longshot would then replace the 10 w/ 4 from his SP.

The reason for the ruling was to prevent 10 range HSS shenanigans (ie Vet Icons Superman Syndrome)

Does that matter? The wording says “before any other replacement”, and these types of range-changing special powers use replacement.

Longshot has a range of 0, the construct replaces it with 10, and then his power replaces it with 4.

It originally did NOT specify "before any other replacement". As originally worded, Longshot could have indeed used the 10 range with his power.

But my attempt at providing historical perspective may have unnecessarily muddied a simple rules question. My bad.

Oh, I thought you were disagreeing. I see now
