Should IW's Invisibility protect her from Stun? [solved]

So I was using Scarlet Witch verses 3*HT+4*IW+2*Bagman.

I nuked HT, IW cast Invisibility, then I cast SW's Purple power, and IW got stunned, even though she was Invisible (the tile was still on the board), I then nuked her because she was visible (stunned) verses Invisible (with the Invisibility tile on the board).

I'm not complaining about SW's purple hitting her, but should she have gotten stunned? (as an eligible target). IDK, but seems like a great counter, even if it was only a 50% chance of her getting hit (instead of Bagman).

    She wasn't stunned because it was a stun. She got stunned because SWitch's purple power randomly stuns a character. I've been invisible and not got stunned by Stranges and Icemans stuns. It's because theirs target one. Invisibility doesn't protect you from random and AOE.

    invisibilty only protects from directly targeted attacks
    it also won't protect against Checkov's Gun (which randomly attacks 3 times)

    This effect makes Gamora's Skull Cracker one of the best counters for IW's team invisibility.

    Which is weird, considering the description of the power (surely the maneuver described would be difficult against 3 invisible enemies icon_e_smile.gif ) but yes, the mechanics involved make this an excellent choice.
