Just wondering with all the changes can you still switch to the Fantastic Four when a wildcard is delt damage.

Say I have Black Cat sharing the defenders ability with Spiderman to give her an 18 to be hit. She is hit, can I then switch to FF so that the wildcards and FF themselves can heal? You used to be able to and I'm wondering if that changed.

You are not able to do this. Wildcards only allow one team ability per action. So if she is using the Defenders ability that is the one ability she is using for this action. She can't switch to the FF.

Even in the old rules, this was the case. You were allowed to declare FF after confirming that you were hit but only if you had not already used a team ability for that action.

Along these same lines:

If on my opponents first action, he attacks a WC character that I have called Mystics TA for, then on his second action, he goes after the same character, can I call a different team ability, such as FF?

That I know is a yes. A wildcard can change once each action your opponent takes.

If that is the case, must you declare the TA between each of your opponents actions, or only when a WC TA is being attacked? I generally reqire my players to declare TA's before a specific character is targeted..

You must declare what TA you are copying only when your opponent declares an action against that fig or when you are taking an action.

opponent: "I'm attacking Doom"

you: "ok, he's a Mystic"

on your turn:

"I'm moving with Doom and using the Brotherhood TA"

cool?

Okay, got that part, but what about:

opponent: "I'm attacking Doom"

you: "ok, he's a Mystic"

then, opponent: "I'm attacking Doom again"

you: "ok, now he's a Fantastic Four"

like that?

actually with the wildcard you can switch switch midstride. use the brotherhood ability to freemove to a longrange allie then switch to hydra ability to give that range guy a bit of a hit boost. it's done all the time. that's why wildcards are expensive. they are versatile.

Yes, that works. He can declare Mystic for that first attack. After it's resolved, if he's attacked again he can declare FF for that attack.

I'm not sure what you mean by midstride. You can use the brotherhood ability to give a wildcard member a move action that does not count towards your allotted actions (note: It's a bad idea to refer to this as a "free move" as people then tend to confuse it with a "Free Action" which it is not). After this action is over the wildcard could switch to another ability (say Hydra) for the next action. Nothing is happening "midstride".

As Canada Maestro pointed out to me, the Wildcard TA can be used to copy a TA during every single action that occurs in play regardless of what figs are involved (or NOT involved) in the action.

So if an FF member is gonna get plastered, for that action switch your Wildcarders over to FF.

Gadzooks...and Suicide Squad is on its way...

One last question about this:

-let´s suppose I have Mary Jane, Invisible Girl Rook and Jarvis on my team;

-I push Mary Jane to death with Avengers´ free movement (she already had one token on her);

-then I declare she´s FF and heal all other FF members...

Is that possible??

No. The use of the Avengers ability would be the one team ability she would be allowed to mimic for this action.

Also, it's a bad idea to refer to the Avengers as "free movement". The use of the word "free" may get confused with "Free Action". This in turn leads some people to believe the Avengers grants a "Free Action" and it doesn't.

I believe the term I've seen used lately for this is NAM:

Non Allotted Movement
