Passive ability - First Nightmare

When Marvel Strike Force Shadow King is spawned, he gains Possessed and clears it from all allies.

Possessed: At the end of his turn, or when a non-summoned teammate uses their Ultimate ability, Shadow King attacks the member of the enemy team who has taken the most damage with Piercing, Drain, and steals some of their Max HP to heal himself.

While Possessed is active, Shadow King cannot be afflicted with Trauma or Stun. Additionally, when he is eliminated, Possessed is transferred to another Astral Ally. If revived, Shadow King regains Possessed.
