Punisher and team affiliation

[LordAstartes]

I hope this has not been asked before. When creating a squad from the roster, does Punisher affect the 50+% needed to become affiliated with a team, in the same way as Taskmaster, for example or do I need more models from the particular affiliation?

Example: Blade, Ghost Rider, Punisher and Wolverine, would that make them Midnight Sons affiliated, or would I need another MS model to benefit from the MS affiliation?

Taskmaster has a superpower called "Rogue Agent" which allows him to count towards affiliated characters when building your squad.

Punisher does not have this superpower, so he does not count as an affiliated character the same way that Taskmaster would.

Your example squad would not count as a Midnight Sons affiliated squad.

I figured as much. I was just hoping to get a written confirmation to settle a small dispute with a friend
