Heyho,

Two questions,

1. If Freeze is stunned, and not recovered, or KO'd through some effect before the 'ready exhausted characters' step of the recovery phase, then presumably his effect is ignored, because he is stunned and doesn't have the text in his box anymore.

2. Can you voluntarily forgo recovering a character from Stunned to Exhausted during the recovery phase (e.g. to fuel Starfire next turn) or must you recover 1 character if you have a stunned one

"If Freeze is stunned, and not recovered, or KO'd through some effect before the 'ready exhausted characters' step of the recovery phase, then presumably his effect is ignored, because he is stunned and doesn't have the text in his box anymore."

That is not correct, because Freeze's ability is triggered on the attack (keyword in his ability = "whenever...") and is not reliant on whether or not he is still in play. The effect in this case is seperate from its source, and no amount of koing will prevent Freeze's ability from still affecting whoever he attacked or whoever attacked him.

About Starfire, if you choose not to recover a character, they ko. Its a choice you make and if you want to fuel starfire, go ahead and ko your board if they all stun ;)

thanks,

and i know it's not likely that you'll want to forgo a recovery, but I just want to make sure as I have a deck which might make it usefull. :D

Whenever Mr. Freeze attacks a character or is attacked by a character, that character cannot ready this turn.

1. Mr Freeze's power is a triggered power. Whenever he is attacked, the effect "that character cannot ready this turn" is placed on the chain. When that effect resolves, that character cannot ready this turn.

Even if Mr Freeze is later stunned or KO'd or removed from play; it doesn't change anything. 2. Choosing a character to recover during the wrap-up of the recovery phase is optional. All stunned characters will be KO'd.
