The AB type is the universal recipient, though, so an injured AB could get any old blood. I think.

# Or just be given O.
Like any other rare type.

# No,
my blood group is actually FK. It makes me super awesome and invincible! Unfortunately though, it makes me liable to death.

That's why they have to cross-match blood before it's given, to look for any adverse reaction. Just giving AB matched blood is risky and only done in emergencies.
