Last night, we were playing against Baron Blade with 5 people: The Wraith, Absolute Zero, Legend, The Visionary, and Haka (in that order). We got Baron Blade down to 1HP when it was Absolute Zero’s turn. He had died (actually, killed himself) and used his power to “destroy a card that has 1HP”. When he destroyed, was it gone, didn’t need to flip the card, or were we supposed to flip the card?
Thanks in advance!
Destroy means to take a card from in play and put it into the discard pile. Villain Character cards are never moved to the discard pile, thus you cannot destroy them.
I’ve personally always considered it just reducing the HP to zero rather than just plain out destroying it. So I would of played it that Baron Blade would of flipped afterwards instead of being destroyed.
Same here.
I ‘ruled’ the other way because it doesn’t say anywhere on the cards anything about damage, thus things that are immune to damage would be destroyed anyway (same with Tachyon’s Sucker Punch)… but I can see the other side of the argument, I just see it as taking something out without doing damage
Just thought I’d go ahead and preview this, as I think it might clear things up:
What it comes down to is this: when a target is reduce to 0 or fewer HP, it should be destroyed. So, as in the case of Baron Blade, if something else should happen, it ought to be noted on the card.
It’s my fault for not making it clear originally. Hope this helps.
And just so folks know, the image Christopher posted is from before it was reviewed; the “restore Baron Blade’s to 30 HP” error was caught in the review. 
Er, yes. Quite right. Just had a mini-heart attack and double checked the proofs. Baron Blade is error free.
That will teach me to snag a shot from the pre-proof sheet instead of using the latest files. Maybe.
Where is my mind these days? Sheesh.
Probably a couple expansions, games, Kickstarters, and conventions ahead of the rest of us. 
Sorry for causing a heart attack. I saw that you’d responded when someone had provided that feedback on the playtest forums, and assumed all was good. 8)

I hate to say this but, there’s still errors. 
Oh, GtG, please let me proof read your proofs before final printing… “Gotta catch’em all!”
Looking at the final proof sheet, the spelling error was caught. It’s hard to tell on the italics.
Off topic, what is that small little knife Blade front side is holding in his left hand? Looks like he is having steak for lunch. 
Thanks so much for clarifying guys! I’ll have to beat my friends for not listening to me.
