See the following thread for a similar case to what came up Thursday night.

https://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showt...=Suicide+Squad

What happened Thursday at my local venue is as follows:

An opponent KOed this Harley while she was adjacent to another character with Batman Enemy Team Ability.



Does the character adjacent to Harley heal from Suicide Squad or not?

SUICIDE SQUAD - When an adjacent friendly character is KO’d, after resolutions, you may roll a d6. If you do, heal this character equal to the result -2, minimum 1.

12.5d Checking for KO
After a character has taken damage and its dial has been clicked, check if it has been
KO’d. A character is KO’d when it reaches a KO click or another effect specifies that it
has been KO’d. '
When a character is KO’d, immediately remove it from the game and place it in your KO area. That character’s action tokens are removed, its effects with durations expire, and any game elements equipped to it become unequipped.
A KO’d character/game element is no longer part of your force or Sideline and can no
longer use effects or be affected or referenced by other effects unless that effect
specifically references it the KO’d character/game element or KO Area.
(Comprehensive Rulebook p.28-29)




By my read, Harley gets removed before the Suicide Squad TA can kick in so the Batman Enemy no longer had the Suicide Squad TA when it would trigger.

I completely disagree with Coyote.

The SS ability is triggered when Harley is KOed, even if she's off the map when it resolves.

But it was triggered before Harley was removed from the map, it was triggered when Harley was removed from the map.

Roderic in his OP quotes a very similar situation where Rebirth Robin can use Suicide Squad TA because the character he's using the TA from is getting KO'ed.

That was 3+ years and a major rules overhaul ago. I'm going by my reading of the current wording for triggers. The character is still turned to and KOed before being removed from the map, which should be enough to trigger the TA.
