Clarification on the move, Take a Powerful Blow (edited for clarity):
Conditions section says “If you need to mark a condition and have no more conditions to mark, you are taken out. You lose consciousness or flee.” Meanwhile the Take a Powerful Blow move has varying effects which include losing consciousness or fleeing – depending on the result of the roll. This leads me to think that the move is intended whenever you take “a blow”. Wrong or no?
You can give conditions on any move where it says so or any 6- that it makes sense for. TAPB is relative; only if it’s powerful to you do you have to do it!

Adam Goldberg I think what I was asking might be a little different. I wasn’t clear then. I edited it to be clearer what I am asking.
like Adam said, Take a Powerful Blow is relative, gunshots on an armored giants? no that powerful, a super powered fist of a Bull on your chin? probably yes
ok. I think I got it.
Follow-up: the character is Directly Engaging a supervillain, rolls 7-9, and then opts for something other than to defend the incoming blow. Does the blow taken imply to mark a condition and then to Take a Powerful Blow because of that? or is the Take a Powerful Blow move designed to be the mechanism by which those condition(s) could be marked?
(basically, my first reading made me think taking a blow = marking a condition, but before I posted this I realized this probably isn’t the case)
You’d take a powerful blow. One of the options there is to mark conditions.
