AX

When played, it not only prevents a target Character from attacking for the rest of the Battle, but the Character playing the Special is also prevented from attacking that Battle. Even while affected by this Special, the Characters may still play non-attack Specials and defend themselves. If, during the course of the battle, either affected hero is KO'd, the effect of the Special remains in play for the remainder of the battle.

Exceptions/Errata
Jean Grey's Mind Over Matter should read "Jean Grey and target Character may not attack for remainder of Battle."

Meta Rules
Meta #25 Only attacks which target a specific Character may be shifted or otherwise defended by a Character specific defensive action. Attacks made on the "opponent" may not be shifted or avoided. Attacks made on a Battlesite cannot be shifted.

Meta #52 Specials which alter how a Character (or the opponent) may attack cannot be played defensively unless there is a secondary effect from the Special which is being used defensively.

Meta #150 Specials which target a Character must be played against a character - they may not be played against a Special or a Battlesite.

Meta #152 Specials which read "Target" (with no qualifier) or "Target Opponent" should read "Target Character". Specials which say "Opponent" without the word "Target" refer to the opponent (not a specific character).
