Villain, Foe, or Obstacle card on you.
These are collectively referred to as ‘Threat’ cards.

SPEED PHASE

Speed bonuses you have. Add this value to your running Speed Point Total.

If you were not challenged by a Threat you may roll with an extra bonus of +2. 

THE VILLAIN

the Episode card.
The third time a Villain card is overcome means the Villain is finally, 
totally defeated, andNo one can play any more villain cards.
