If you play a card like Hellfire Clubs Madelyne Pryor (may place and play any Jean Grey specials for remainder of game) and your opponent does not negate it when you play it, can they decide to negate it later? or do they have to choose to negate it when it is played?

Any special with a lasting effect will stay in play to indicate that effect is active.  A negate can be played offensively to negate any special in play and will remove that special and erase any effects it has.

AND, this is the perfect example of negating a negate! So, if your opponent comes back later to Negate that Madelyne Pryor card, you can negate their negate  :D

If Mr Fantastic had an AO, he would be the god of Overpower.

Not all that long ago I learned your opponent could remove a Special card hit from the current battle using an offensively played negate. So you are also saying you could remove a Special that is on your permanent record that same way?

Unless it is Morbius's negate.   :P

Wow, removing hits with a Negate is news to me. I see more and more why they are so valuable. But now that I look at it, Morbius's Negate is one of those cards you can reverse engineer a rule from whether or not it's explicitly stated.
