SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DIVISION: At the beginning of the game, for all characters with this trait, choose Outwit -or- Perplex and they can use the chosen power this game. If they are part of a named theme team, you can choose both.


CALL IN HELP FROM THE VENOMVERSE!: Once per turn for all characters with this trait, when Venom hits an opposing character, after resolutions you may roll a d6. 3-6: Place another friendly character whose name includes "Venom" adjacent to Venom.


A SIMPLER TIME: Once per turn for all characters with this trait, if a character uses the JSA team ability to replace its defense value with Commander Steel's when targeted with a close attack, after resolutions deal the attacker 1 penetrating damage.


There are various characters that have traits or powers that say "for all characters with this power/trait" wording. How does that work?

When an effect has that wording (or a variation of it), it means that the effect is treated as shared and applying for all characters that can use the effect instead of each character individually using the effect (which is the normal way effects work). Typically these effects involve triggers, but occasionally use activated actions.
