Hi @quantumodo,
Thank you for your input.
The FAQ states:
You can remove threat from Light at the End when you defeat a Sinister Six villain, even if that villain had Taunting Presence attached.
However, it does not provide a rationale for this ruling. Based on the updated rules, it appears that you cannot remove threat in this case.
This creates challenges for us in coding. While we could apply our previous special rule for “27104,” it is not explicitly included in the rulebook, which could lead to new bugs and complicate code maintenance.
We hope you understand our position. If you strongly believe that “27104” should function as you suggest, we recommend reaching out to FFG for an errata regarding this card.
Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to any additional thoughts you may have.
