Namor and Brace for Impact

[bionic.beth]

Namor's Atlantean Might superpower says "Damage caused by this character's attacks and effects cannot be reduced or prevented etc". If Namor throws a piece of terrain via a tactic card like Heave Ho or Pym Particles since the throw is not printed on Namor's stat card does that count as "his" effect or is the source of the effect the tactic card and therefore damage could be prevented with Brace for Impact?

If Wasp chooses Namor to use the throw from Pym Particles can the opponent use Brace for Impact to prevent the damage? It is a throw effect from Namor so I assume they can Brace but it won't prevent the damage? And the same question but for effects like Red Skull Master of Hydra's Null field.

Hi,

I was curious if brace for impact is considered damage reduction for the purposes Namor's Atlanta Might.

If Namor had a way to cause a collision on a character, if that character plays Brace for Impact, does Namor nullify the effects of Brace for Impact so that the collision damage still occurs?

Perhaps if someone were to play Pym Particle Control to have Namor be the character to throw a piece of terrain, would they be unable to stop the damage from happening?

Unless the card specifies otherwise, when a character plays a Team Tactic Card, it is the source of all effects generated by the card. If multiple characters play a card, they are all considered to be the source.

Brace for Impact prevents damage rather than reduces it.

Great, I'm sure I've got it, but just to be clear on the two tactic cards in question.

If Namor and Original Human Torch each pay 1 Power to play Heave Ho and Original Human Torch is chosen to measure the throw off of, since Namor helped pay for the card he would be considered a source of the damage and therefore it could not be prevented.

If Wasp pays for Pym Particles and chooses Namor to throw the terrain feature, since Wasp is the only character that paid for the card she is the source of the damage and therefore it could be prevented.

Correct?

In the Above Post concerning "Usurp The Throne" and "Pym Particles" - Killmonger is said to be the source of the damage caused by "Pym Particles", even though Ant-Man or Wasp is playing the tactic card.
Is it correct to assume, that the same applies to Namor, meaning that the enemy character can't use "Brace for Impact", since it 'prevents damage' which "Atlantean Might" circumvents and Namor is in fact the source of the throw from "Pym Particles"?

Apologies that the original response wasn't clearer. This is an example of a card that specifies the source of the effect. Even though two characters are paying for it, only the chosen character is performing the throw. Namor has to be the chosen character in order to take advantage of atlantean might.
