If I use Wedge on one of my Hero personalities and when my opponent kills him I react to his death with Astonishing Resilience, would my personalities force still double even while he is in the discard pile?

My reading of Wedge is that it is a Delayed Effect, though I'm not sure whether the "Effects In and Out of Play" section of the Comprehensive rules is still relevant. The important part being "When an Effect begins", does that reference the action's original effect which produced the delayed effect (that have resolved already), or does it reference the delayed effect that produces the force bonus (if indeed the delayed effect actually even "counts" as an effect in this case).

Thanks.

Yes. (Fixed.)
