This Special acts as a certain level attack of a certain power type. However, if the attack hits an opponent's hero, the card ceases to function as a Special; switching to a certain level power card of a certain power type(s). When the attack is made, only use the first value and power type to determine what is required to block the attack. If the attack is not blocked, then use the second, and only the second value for determining damage, spectrum, and Venture Total. In addition the Special is not considered a Power card until it is removed. This means, for example, that it cannot be negated by an AO Special after the Special hits, but it can be negated as it is played. An EE Special can remove the hit if it gets put onto the permanent record, or from the current battle if the EE Special specified. Even though the card, when successfully hit, is considered a Power Card, when it is removed it is still discarded into the Dead Pile.
Meta Rules
Meta #29 If a Special has the phrase "if successful", then the second aspect of the Special only takes place in the event that the initial attack is not defended. If the hit lands and is later negated, then the subsequent action is not negated if the result is no longer "on the table."
Meta #30 If a Special has the phrase "if successful", then the second aspect of the Special does not necessarily need to occur. It may not be possible to perform the secondary action. The secondary action may be specified as optional. However, if it is required and possible to perform the second action, it must be done.
Meta #84 Specials which indicate that they act as Power cards only act as Power cards in that they can sometimes be used to attack or defend (as specified on the Special). They do NOT take on any other properties of Power cards i.e., they count towards X-Babies K.O., they do NOT fuse with other MultiPower Power cards, they cannot be removed with an EE Special.
