SPREADING MY SYMBIOTES ACROSS THE WORLD: Flurry, Giant Reach: 3. // When Absolute Carnage KO's an opposing character of 25+ points, after resolutions you may generate a [SVC] #011 Carnage Minion in that character's square.

If a Carnage Minion is KOed, can a player use that Carnage Minion's figure to serve as another future Carnage Minion? I've always heard on here that the TMNT Set 1 Foot Soldiers could be reused in this fashion, but I don't know WHY specifically they work like this. . . .

THERE'S MORE OF THESE ROBOTS?: When Foot Soldier is KO'd by an opponent's attack, roll a d6. 5-6: You may place a character named Foot Soldier from outside the game into your starting area or a square within 5 squares of it.

I saw the text in the core rulebook about the specific KO Area last night when a player asked me about being able to reuse Carnage Minion figures in sealed, and it seems to imply that such an action would not be allowed when it says, "Your KO area is where you place all KO’d game elements. A KO’d game element can no longer use effects or be affected or referenced by other effects (unless that effect specifically references it being KO’d). The KO area is 'off the map.'"

In short, I am now Perplexed by WizKids.

Comprehensive Rulebook pg. 6

Page 6, Comprehensive Rules Supplement:
KO AREA
If an effect allows you to generate a game element from
“outside the game” and you don’t have any more physical
copies, you are allowed to remove them from the KO area
and use that physical piece again, noting its previous KO.

Now, this explains Foot Soldiers who are specifically coming from "outside the game". But generated figures are also defined as coming from "outside the game".

Bottom Line: Yes, you can recycle KOd Minions.

EDIT: ninja'd.....by a MOUNTAIN?!?

WOOOOO! Thank you, Mountain and Hippie :D
