     As long as you have the use of a particular power, you are forced to
use the Super version of that power's flare, not the Wild version.  If you lose
your power due to lack of home bases, or if you get Cosmic Zapped, you use the
Wild version.  If you want to use the Wild version of your flare, it's legal
to Cosmic Zap yourself as you play the flare.  (Normally, you're only allowed
to Cosmic Zap a power, including your own, when someone is actually trying to
use it.  But you're effectively using your power to convert the Wild flare to
the Super version, which makes the Cosmic Zap legal.)
