Henry Pym's Founding Avenger
Offensive Yes
Defensive No
Duration Instant

This Special allows for one attack of a specified number and power type. The attack may not be defended with a Special card. Not being defended with a Special card means that the attack cannot be avoided with a defensive Special played in response to the attack that blocks or helps to block the attack, no 'Avoid 1 attack' Specials, no Specials that grant a bonus to defense may be played in response to the attack, no Activators, etc. This does not affect any preset defensive Specials. For example, A character with an AH Special, character may not be attacked with Special cards for the remainder of the battle, already in play may not be attacked with this Special since the Special could not target them. But, if the character was attacked with this Special, an AH Special could not be played in response. The Special card may not be negated during the attack but could be negated later in the battle. Shifting the attack to another target is not considered defending the Special.

Meta Rules

Meta #44 When a card specifies what cards may (or may not) be used to defend it, this includes ALL cards used in the defense.

Meta #58 Negates are considered a card being played defensively. If a Special indicates that it cannot be defended by a Special card, then a Negate cannot be used to defend the attack (although it may be used afterwards offensively to negate the effect). If a Special card indicates that it can only be defended by a specific type of card, then this excludes all other cards (including negates).

Meta #124 Specials which are already in play prior to an attack being launched can be utilized in the defense of that attack without being considered "being played defensively."
