Emma Frost Shield Mind vs Psychic Immunity


Recommended Posts

I have heard some folks try to say that the phrase "Enemy <eye> attacks and superpowers" means that if the superpower doesn't specify it's an <eye> superpower then it would still work against someone with that phrase. 

I'm very glad that in Emma's Shield Mind it has "enemy <eye> attacks and enemy superpowers", which to me is what the intent of the "Enemy <eye> attacks and superpowers" phrase is. 

Is this the correct meaning behind the "Enemy <eye> attacks and superpowers" phrase, or should that be that it's "enemy <eye> attacks" and ANY superpowers that would be against the effect (typically avoiding place/throw/advance effects) whether friendly or enemy, or should it be read as "enemy <eye> attacks and enemy superpowers"?

I know it's a VERY fine, picky point, but it's come up enough in games that now that there's a character that has 2 different wordings of it on their card I'd like to see what the real intent is.

Thanks!

Superpowers are not defined by those types, the Physical, Energy or Mystic symbols.  There is no such thing as a "mystic superpower"

Shield Mind will prevent an Advance, Place or Push from enemy Mystic Attacks and any enemy superpowers

Psychic Immunity will prevent a Push or Advance from enemy Mystic attack and any enemy OR allied superpowers
