Jab Jab Cross vs Immovable Object

3* Like Cage's full-power "Jab, Jab, Cross" deals the full amount of damage to Colossus even while an "Immovable Object" countdown tile is on the board. Then Colussus is stunned.

I bet I know what's happening: the stun effect is being applied first, negating Immovable Object, even though it appears to happen after the damage is dealt. So this might not be a "bug", but it's certainly confusing to the user.

    Yep, that's it. Same reason you can hit Hulk with it and not generate an Anger tile, Captain Marvel and not generate AP for her, etc...

    I agree it's a little weirder in this case because you might expect the damage to happen "first". It is consistent with the way other damage/stun attacks work.

    Even the ability description puts the stun effect after the damage: "While active, Jab, Jab, Cross deals X damage and stuns the target for 1 turn instead".

    But you're right, it has to work this way or else it's inconsistent. Just wish the graphical representation was clearer...
