NAME = Spider-Ham
SECRET IDENTITY = Peter Porker

SPECIES = Arachnid
UNIQUENESS = Unique Hero
CLASS = Crime Fighter
PERSONALITY = Silly

SIZE/HEIGHT = Small 3

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 4

POINTS = 150

SURPRISE MALLET SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 1. Attack 3.
If Spider-Ham attacks a figure he was not adjacent to at the start of his turn, the defending figure rolls 2 fewer defense dice. Spider-Ham may only use this special attack once per round.

SPIDER-NONSENSE 12
If Spider-Ham would be destroyed, roll the 20-sided die, adding 1 to the roll for each enemy figure within 3 spaces of Spider-Ham. If you roll 12 or higher, Spider-Ham is not destroyed and you may remove Wound Markers from this card until there are only two Wound Markers on this card.

SWING LINE 4
Instead of his normal move, Spider-Ham may move up to 4 spaces with Swing Line. When moving with Swing Line, Spider-Ham 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.

SUPER STRENGTH

[Lord Pyre]

I mean, the bio isn't technically correct as he CAN swing from webs. And his history is actually quite fun and think we should explain it.

Otherwise you know I like it.

[tcglkn]

If we aren't feeling the Mallet SA, could just reuse POW! off of Batman '66 here:
POW!
When Spider-Ham attacks an adjacent figure with his normal attack and no skulls are rolled, you may count all blanks and shields rolled as hits.

[Arch-vile]

I'm feeling the mallet personally.

[Karat]

The mallet seems fitting, but it feels wrong not to represent his Spider-Nonsense here. Like Cartoom Physics is kinda cool and fun, but I feel it's one we could loosening we absolutely needed to.

[tcglkn]

I like Cartoon Physics, but if you have a good suggestion for Spider-Nonsense, I'd consider it.

[Karat]

I don't really, but it's a theme fail for me right now.

[Arch-vile]

What is spider-nonsense?

[tcglkn]

It keys off of how much danger he is in right?

So what about tweaking Cartoon Physics to something like this:

SPIDER-NONSENSE 14
If Spider-Ham would be destroyed, roll the 20-sided die, adding one to to roll for each enemy figure within 3 spaces of Spider-Ham. On a 14 or more, Spider-Ham is not destroyed, then remove Wound Markers from this card until there are only two Wound Markers on this card.

[Karat]

Heres from the wiki....hmmm, maybe just a bonus for each figure engaged to him?

Spider-Nonsense: Spider-Ham has Spider-Nonsense, in addition to Spider-Sense. His Spider-Nonsense allows him to to be "cartoon-ier" with the more danger he is in at the time

Something like:

SPIDER-NONSENSE
You may add 1 to Spider-Ham's Csrtoon Physics roll for each opponent's figure engaged to him.

I'd probably up the Physics roll for that but adds a slight thee nodded with a mechanical benefit that makes your opponent leery and you want him front and center.
