Based on the second point in this post where characters must have the exact amount of power to pay for an attack before applying cost reduction or other cost payment effects. Does this principle also apply to using super powers? Take Steve Rogers' Avengers leadership ability that reduces the cost to use a super power by 1. Does an allied team member need to have the exact amount before applying Steve's laedership reduction?

It is generally understood that effects like Sacrifice and Body Guard change who the intended target of an attack is as made clear in this post: It is also generally understood that range and LOS do not factor in the validity of this new target, for example my character attacks your character but your body guard hiding around the corner of a large building redirects that attack to himself where my attack conditions would normally not enable me to attack this character. Correct? How is it that Trip Up behaves differently in this post? The conditions for playing Trip Up were initially met (2 characters within R2), but the redirect from body guard/sacrifice changes the target of the attack. The second part of Trip up which is not only a different sentence but also a different paragraph, simply looks for the TARGET of the attack receiving damage, if THAT condition is met then I would argue that the effect of Trip up should apply. Some clarification would be greatly appreciated here

and what about the attack, does it still go through?

What happens if Rhino cannot be placed within 1 of his intended target during a Gore attack?

so you are saying that if I use the range 1 side of the range 4 tool to place Black Bolt within 1 of an objective token, i then cannot use the same range 4 tool to measure his attack range? do i have to physically dispose of the range 4 tool (used as a range 1) tool to then grab it a second time and use it as a range 4 tool? what is the physical process involved here?

could you please clarify how a tool must be used then?

Based off the rulings of both Strategic Genius and Interrogate, it seems that the rule of thumb is that abilities with the same name cannot fire simultaneously. If that is the case then shouldn't the Asgardian ability only affect a single character during the power phase?

Say a character declares a beam attack that can affect 3 characters, Nick Jr, Taskmaster and Bucky. First off I need to understand how the beam attack sequence actually plays out, is it; A- All three are selected as targets in step 2a of the attack chart? OR B- The attack chart breaks off into three different instances (one for each character) so the attacker then goes to step 2a for target 1, resolve the attack for that character, then come back around to step 2a for the second target, so on and so forth? Once the above gets clarified I then need to understand when exactly I am allowed to play Sacrifice In scenario A, I am allowed to play Sacrifice during step 2d. after all three characters have been targeted simultaneously correct? In scenario B, I have to wait until the character I want to sacrifice for becomes the target of the beam attack and then play Sacrifice during that attacks' step 2d correct? Now for the doozey of a question, Both Photographic Reflexes and Intuitive Pattern Recognition stipulate that "If the attacker has already targeted (Step 2a) this character with an attack this turn..." and " has already targeted (Step 2a) this character with an attack this turn..." respectively. Does this mean that using Sacrifice to redirect an attack onto Taskmaster would; in Scenario A, assuming the Sacrifice attack resolves before any other, does Photographic Reflexes get to roll 6 dice instead of 4 and did Pattern Recognition get to add 2 dice to the defense roll? in Scenario B, assuming targets were in the following order 1-Nick Jr. 2-Taskmaster 3-Bucky, Sacrifice redirects Nick's attack to Taskmaster but since he hasn't been Targeted yet none of the bonuses will apply until attack number 2 when Taskmaster becomes targeted by the beam attack?
