RRG 1.6 states that the Villain Cards are Encounter Cards, and that Villain Defeat results in revealing the next stage of the villain. Therefore, you are revealing an encounter card when you move to the next villain stage. Does this card turn all games into Rookie Mode?
Villain cards cannot be discarded from play. I couldn't find a great answer as to whether or not this could still be used to cancel the villain's "When Revealed" ability though. Doesn't seem right but can't find the ruling against it

It seems like an oversight, and it should say "When a treachery is revealed" instead. Other similar cards reference revealing a "treachery" instead of just "encounter card", although Psylocke's Telepathic Suggestions does not. I wonder if that card can cancel a villain's "When Revealed" ability too then.

err maybe not. Telepathic Suggestion specifically mentions revealing "a card from the encounter deck", which is different from the villain deck

There was just a ruling on HallofHeroes that Villain and Main Scheme "When Revealed" effects cannot be cancelled. The post said it would be added in the next Rules Reference
