  1. It does not include Failures results, no.

    To understand why...

    The core rules say that Failure results cannot be rerolled or modified (Page 7 of the online rulebook).

    We also have this section of the core rules from page 5 that explains when something says a thing can't happen, that trumps another rule saying it can happen

    Quote

    Some effects say that a character can or does do something or an effect can or does happen, while others say that a character can’t do the same thing or say that the same effect can’t happen. In any case where these effects apply to the same character at the same time, the “can’t” overrides the “can.”

    So the rule saying Failures can't be rerolled "wins" over something telling you to reroll all your dice.

    There is an exception to this though, which is when a rule directly references the rule it is overriding. Take Dr. Strange as an example...he has a rule that says "This character may modify and reroll Failure dice results.". Because this directly references the rule about Failure dice, it wins in the can't vs can scenario.

    Do I need line of sight to target an enemy or an ally with a superpower?

    Not unless the superpower says it does

    For example: do I need line of Sight to target an enemy with Web Line?

    It depends on which webline. Spiderman(Peter Parker)‘s version, no. Ghost spiders version, yes.

    They have different wording.

    You do not, since the superpower itself doesn’t list a line of sight requirement.

  3. You either declare the end of the activation yourself or there are situations that can force the activation to end (like being dazed during activation).

    It is still your turn until the end of activation is complete, but your options are more limited because your going through that sequence(For example, you won’t be able to use active superpowers while completing end of activation/turn items).

    End of activation effects are completed in this order

    Player effects (e.g. Healing factor)

    Non-player effects (e.g. Bleed)

    Crisis non-player effects (e.g. Legacy Virus)

    If there are multiple rules resolving in one of those windows, refer to the timing rules in Appendix A of the core rules. Or if you have a specific example, you can request clarification here.

    I was surprised I couldn't find anything else on this question, since by securing an objective, the contest for it becomes resolved. So, by definition, a secured objective is no longer being contested. At least until a new, contesting factor is introduced.

    This sounds like you are introducing some external definitions. 

    A character is Contesting an objective when it is within range one of the objective. By default, there are no other conditions or restrictions on this.

    Contesting and Securing an objective are not mutually exclusive either. Even while a player is securing an objective, models are still contesting that objective.

    Can you be R1 of an objective marker, a target of opportunity, and not be contesting it?

    Only if there is some other special rule in effect.

    7 hours ago, Cuz05 said:

    In other words, if only 1 character is within R1 of the marker does it count as contesting, as well as securing?

    Yes. A character within range 1 of an objective is contesting that objective  regardless of whether other characters are present and will allow its player to secure it.

    Follow up to that then... If allied Clea is also in beam, does Luke pay Power separately for Clea and Strange, or pays once to protect both?  Can he choose to protect one and not the other?

    He would need to pay for each separate attack that he wanted to use “too dangerous to ignore”, because each attack is a separate instance of an ally being targeted.

    Since they are separate attacks, he can choose to protect one, both or neither.

  7. Yes, you can keep control of the objective even if you do not have a character within range 1.

    If you are controlling an objective, you do not need a character to stay within range one. You will still control it if you move the character away.(Page 12, bottom left paragraph of the Core rules)

    Pay close attention to the wording of the crisis card though. Some objectives are controlled and some objectives are only secured(which does require you to stay within range 1).
