The wording and cost on the new printable versions of the Runaways and Guardians of the Galaxy ATAs are different from the wording in the Player's Guide.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Keyword(s): Guardians of the Galaxy
Cost: 5
Powers possessed by characters using this team ability
can’t be countered. This team ability can’t be used by wild
cards.
RUNAWAYS
Keyword(s): Runaways
Cost: 3
Whenever a character using this team ability attacks,
modify their attack value by +1 for each other friendly
character that dealt damage to an opposing character this
turn while using this team ability.
The PnP versions both retain the old text: "All characters on your force with the keyword are assigned this feat and have the following team ability instead of any other team ability:" The Guardians' ATA also has the old 4-point cost.
Looks pretty obvious it was a cut-and-paste mistake, but it's a doozy. (If NECA/WK is outsourcing graphic designers for this work, they need to contact me. I have editorial experience as well as a graphic design background.)

For clarity's sake...the version in the Player's Guide controls.

Good catch. Hopefully the powers that be will see this and be able to correct the print and play versions.

Could Nberp or one of the other judges weight in and confirm the Player's Guide Version supersedes? Obviously, that would normally be the case, but the PnP versions were created later.

nbperp and the deputies have stated several times that if a correct answer is already given, they will usually not jump in.
However, in this case, Norm did post the corrected versions of the cards on the heroclix website http://heroclix.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Marvel-new2-ATAs3.jpg
