Zombie Magneto vs. Wasp: Founding Avenger

Situation: I field a (Zombie) Magneto: Magnetic Monster. My opponent has a Wasp: Founding Avenger card (purchase cost: 3).

While Magneto is active, Wasp will lose her ability to do me damage when I use a Global Ability. Am I (or is my opponent) still able to use the Global Ability on her card, or is that lost as well?

Relevant card texts:

Zombie Magneto: Magnetic Monster
Zombie - when fielded, KO all non-{Zombie} Magnetos.

While active, opposing characters with Purchase Cost 3 or lower lose their abilities. Professor X can't be fielded.


Wasp: Founding Avenger
While Wasp is active, when your opponent uses a Global Ability, she deals them 1 damage.

Global: Once per turn, you may pay 2. Deal 1 damage to a character or player.


Thank you very much!

While Magneto: Magnetic Monster is active, if your opponent has the Wasp: Founding Avenger card on his or her team, that card’s text box—including the Global Ability—is considered to be blank. As a result, neither player would be able to use Wasp’s Global Ability. This is the case regardless of whether your opponent has an active Wasp die in the field. In this way, Magneto is similar to Prismatic Spray: Lesser Spell. (See ruling at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5134).
