Character Bio - Otto Octavius has finally implemented his master plan, swapping consciousnesses with Peter Parker to not only crush him but to destroy his legacy. But when experiencing Peter’s memories, he developed a sense of morals and realized he could be a force for good. And so he vowed to become the Superior Spider-Man, better than Parker in every way, both fulfilling his responsibility to be a hero, and his plan to crush Parker by besting him at being Spider-Man, even if he was gone.
This was short lived, as Otto soon realized that Peter was in fact, the Superior Spider-Man. He willingly gives back control of Peter’s body to let Peter save countless innocents. But that wasn’t the end of the Superior Spider-Man. At some point Otto had saved a copy of his own consciousness, which was eventually transferred to a cloned body of Peter, thanks to the Jackal. He continues his brand of heroics, even if it’s at odds with many other heroes’ ideals.
During the attack of the Inheritors, Otto transverses the Spider-Verse, assembling his own Spider-Army, and fights Peter for leadership of the group as a whole. While Peter wins out and continues to lead, he extends his hand to Otto, realizing that his smarts and skills are necessary for the survival of spider-kind.

SUPERIOR SPIDER GENIUS
If there is an Order Marker on this card, you may add 3 to your initiative roll, and during your turn figures you control with a Spider-Verse, Swing Line, or Web Swing special power add 1 to the roll when the 20-sided die is rolled for any special powers on their card.

"THE DIE IS CAST!"
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Spider-Man, you may take a turn with any other figure you control with a Spider-Verse, Swing Line, or Web Swing special power. If you won initiative this round, you may instead take a turn with up to 2 Unique Heroes you control with a Spider-Verse, Swing Line or Web Swing special power. Spider-Man may be one of the chosen figures. You may not take any additional turns.

WEB SWING 2
Instead of his normal move, Spider-Man may move up to 2 spaces with Web Swing. When moving with Web Swing, Spider-Man has the Flying special power, but may not move up or down more than 40 levels in a single swing, and will not take any leaving engagement attacks. After using Web Swing, you may use it two additional times.

Is the theme of the 2 space restriction for the double attack related to the range of his spider leg things?

Yeah. Mirrors Doc Ock’s range. Also keeps the theme I’ve had of Spider being better in close combat.

[japes]

I thought Otto was like his own thing and not a Spider Verse leader guy. The powers here seem...odd. He gets a bonus for an OM but with his bonding power, is getting all the markers anyway right?

[Lord Pyre]

No, because he’s not as good if you lose initiative. So not necessary all the OMs.

And usually we don’t like having unrestricted initiative boosts, but I don’t mind dropping the OM requirement there since it largely wouldn’t matter.

I’ll throw up a bio later, but Otto definitely is a big player in Spiderverse. He tries to completely take charge but Pete reigns him in a bit.

[tcglkn]

Definitely room for both versions of Superior but since we’re building the faction this design makes the most sense to run now.

I like where this design landed.

[japes]

Oh gotcha...different version. Thanks for clarifying.

[Lord Pyre]

Threw up a bio. Also we should add a clause saying if you yell "the die is cast!!" when rolling for initiative, you add another +2.

[Tornado]

Nope. Unfair to mute people.
That is why my Roar in Triumph power got shot down.

[IAmBatman]

We do try to be an inclusive operation.
