Not entirely. The affiliated Character die does not need to be KO’d only from attacking, just KO’d.
Also, Retaliation is initiated by the KO of each die with a shared affiliation – not by the remaining affiliated dice in the Field Zone.
We assume the last sentence in your post pertains specifically to the Retaliation ability of Black Manta – Deep Sea Deviant: when a Villains Character die is KO’d you would deal 1 damage for each of your different active Villains characters. Those active dice do not have to engage in combat (i.e. “did not attack” in the post) to initiate Retaliation.
