Just a curiousity. If characters lose their text when they're stunned. How does Electric Eye's text work?

Edit: Lol. Bad picture. Sorry.

I'd assume it's set up so that a character checks the text once they are face up.

You could ask a similar question about how Vengeance works.

I'm thinkin you mean

1 Electric Eve, Live Wire
Team: Morlocks
Traits: Mutant - Energy
Ranged
ATK: 2
DEF: 1
Evasion (Stun this character -> Recover this character at the start of the recovery phase this turn.)
Whenever Electric Eve recovers, target opponent loses 1 endurance.


This is from the MXM faq.

4.1 Whenever a character recovers

Some cards have a power that triggers whenever a character recovers. Such a power only triggers when a character recovers from being stunned. In other words, only stunned characters can recover.

Example: Electric Eve reads, “Evasion <p> Whenever Electric Eve recovers, target opponent loses 1 endurance.” Her power triggers only when she recovers from being stunned. If she evades and is then recovered by some effect during the combat phase, that recovery will trigger her power. However, the triggered effect at the start of the recovery phase later that turn will not trigger her power a second time if she is not stunned when it resolves.

There are also characters like Mammoth who have effects that trigger when they leave play (similar to the auto-lose effects of the "kings" from DCR). The game remembers that text even if they were stunned when it happens - even though that'd normally make their text box blank. It's all accounted for in the rules.

It's pretty common for powers to vanish or appear during their trigger events, so the rules specifically tell you when a power needs to exist---502.3 and 502.4 in the CRD.

Powers that trigger off of stuns, breakthrough, or leaving play all check to see whether the power exists in the moment right before the trigger event. (With an additional rule to allow "leaving play" triggers to go off even if the character is stunned.) All other triggered powers look to the moment immediately after the event to see if they'll trigger.

So Donna Troy and the Vengeance crew all trigger just like you'd hope they do, and so do folks like Electric Eve and Creeper. These two rules are the first step for trigger timing, they're very worth reading and remembering---they come up a ton.
