Hey all!

I was sure I saw that figures could not copy cross-universe team abilities (i.e. Spider-Man can't copy Batman TA). Is that correct?

Thanks!!

I believe you may be mistaking someone's "house rule" as a game rule.

"HeroClix Comprehensive Rulebook

19.4 Team Abilities

Team Abilities are indicated by a full-color symbol on a character’s base. They are often described on the character card.

For a listing of all Team Abilities and their effects, go to:
Wizkids Rules!

19.4a Wild Card
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 the 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 being 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).

The Wild Card effect is as follows:

FREE: Choose a team ability that a friendly character can use (that isn’t Uncopyable).

This character can use the chosen team ability until you choose again. Uncopyable.

NOTE: On older figures, powers or abilities that grant “Wild Card” grant the above effect.

On newer figures, the effect is written out as above.

19.4b Uncopyable
Some team abilities will have the term "Uncopyable" at the end of their text.

If a team ability states that it is “Uncopyable”, then it can’t be copied by the Wild Card team ability. ".


That's it there are NO cross-universe Team Ability restrictions.

The reasoning for that is so that players may enjoy the fun of PLAYING characters from multiple "universes". If you can play the FIGURES and ELEMENTS together, then the Team Abilities are part and parcel of the ability to play those characters together and ALSO work together.

Happy Clixing!

Thanks Iron Elf. I was sure the no crossing was a rule at some point in the past.

Hey SoS,

No worries. I've been playing since Xplosion, and I've never seen or heard of a non-house-rule to that effect.

A few places DID house rule that back in the day but never an OFFICIAL rule, or OFFICIAL event rule.

Happy clixing and a Happy Thanksgiving to ya!

You might be thinking of the nerf to the Thunderbolts feat card when it got replaced by an ATA?

Heck we even have some TA's that cross universes now like ?, PD, and Mystics (uncopyable) so how could that be a rule?
