(DC) Constantine: Hellblazer.

[scorpion0x17]

While Constantine is active, before your opponent’s Clear and Draw Step, you may name a character. If that character is fielded this turn, ignore its text until end of turn and it cannot attack this turn.

Does this ability affect copies of the named character die that are already in the field?

Example:

I have a Constantine: Hellblazer die fielded, my opponent has one level 3 Black Widow: Tsarina die fielded and two Black Widow: Tsarina dice in his bag.

It is the start of my opponent's turn, and I therefore name "Black Widow" before my opponent's Clear and Draw.

My opponent draws one Black Widow: Tsarina die, as well as three sidekicks, and proceeds to Roll and Re-roll.
After rolling and re-rolling he has a Black Widow: Tsarina die on her level 1 side, and so he proceeds to field her.

Now, can the previously fielded level 3 Black Widow die be assigned to attack by my opponent during his Attack Step?
And, if so, will her 'when attacks' ability trigger?

And, if so, will her 'when attacks' ability trigger?

In this case, the fielded level 3 Black Widow cannot attack and it has blank text.

As a sidenote, your opponent may not name Sidekick for Constantine.
