The Red Skull,. Master of Hydra, Hydra Troopers, and Storm Leadership

[Horeath]

Hi Team,

 

Question 1:

Grunts "are not chosen to activate during a turn", instead, they activate during their controller's turn.

With "The Red Skull, Master of Hydra", if I am running him in the uncanny xmen leadership, may I, in order:

1. Place his Grunts with a stagger token at the start of his activation.

2. Use the Uncanny X-men leadership to place "The Red Skull" using the Grunt's as target.

3. Then move / attack / Hydra assault with them as usual.

4. Activate "The Red Skull" as usual?

Question 2: (related)

May I use the "Uncanny Xmen" leadership at ANY time during "The Red Skull"'s activation?

For example:

1. Move "Hydra troopers"

2. Use the leadership to teleport "The Red Skull" off them.

3. Attack with "Hydra Troopers"

4. Take 2 actions with "The Red Skull, Master of Hydra".

Thanks in advance,

 

Theo

No to both. Red Skull, Master of Hydra needs to be the activating character to utilize the first part of the X-Men Gold leadership ability. 

In both of these scenarios the Hydra Troopers are the activating character.
