Does Blast Cone stun my empowered Gangplank, Naval? What if I then play Back Off choosing him?

Blast Cone stuns him — its stun trigger doesn't choose units, so Gangplank's replacement effect can't apply. Back Off on an already-stunned Gangplank doesn't perform the stun game action at all (the instruction is negated), so there's no event for his replacement effect to replace and he doesn't get +3 Might. Likewise, under a "friendly units can't be stunned" effect, a stun choosing Gangplank generates no event to replace.
