This Special is played along with a Basic Universe card. The Special can only be negated at this time, since it is discarded afterwards even though the Basic Universe card remains. The Basic Universe card bonus is added to the Character's Power Grid in the Power Type of the Basic Universe card. For example, if the character plays this with a Fighting 6 to use, +2 bonus Basic Universe card, then the character's Fighting Power Grid increases by 2 for the remainder of the game. The Basic Universe card does not need to be usable by the character in order to be played with this Special. If this Special is played with an Any-Power Basic Universe card, then the character must declare which Power Type receives the bonus. If played defensively, then it must be necessary to raise the character's Power Grid in order to defend the attack with a Power Card from the hand.

Meta Rules
Meta #90 Specials which alter a Character's abilities/skills that have a lasting duration are discarded when the Character is K.O.'d. Should the Character be resurrected or brought back into play later in the game, the discarded Special would not be in effect. Specials with a lasting duration that do not alter a Character (but affect the opponent or a teammate(s), etc.) remain in play after the Character playing the Special has been K.O.'d.

Meta #115 Specials which allow for Universe cards to modify the grid cause an alteration in the actual grid number - quite different from the standard bonus that a universe normally provides. Any of the specified Universe type can be played with this Special, not necessarily those which the Character could normally play.

Meta #132 When a Special affects the usability/effectiveness of Universe cards, it can only be played with a Universe card if the Special specifically says so.
