He's worked with nearly every other hero operating out of New York City, and even some from stranger parts, like Devil Dinosaur. He has long-standing ties with the Fantastic Four and has become an Avengers mainstay in the last few years.

AVENGING TEAM-UP
At the start of the game, you may choose one other Unique Hero you control and place a white Avenger Marker on its Army Card. After revealing an Order Marker on the Army Card of a Unique Hero you control that has an Avenger Marker on its card and taking a turn with only that Hero, you may take an immediate turn with Spider-Man and you may not take any additional turns. During this turn, Spider-Man can only attack figures engaged with that Hero.

DISTRACTING BANTER
Enemy figures attacking Spider-Man with a normal attack roll one additional attack die but subtract one skull from whatever is rolled. After rolling defense dice for Spider-Man against an opponent's attack, if he does not receive any wounds, Spider-Man may immediately use his Web Swing 2 special power.

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 2, you may use it two additional times.

My initial thought is to open the Web Shooter up a bit. Maybe have it work more like Web Slinger but without the defense reduction.

Yeah, I'm having a similar thought, but more about the movement aspect: Would this let him get to the top of a Skyscraper? Right now I think not unless there's a DO or Hulk up there or something.

Also, we need a Devil Dinosaur for this wave now.

[Ronin]

Web shooters could work with skyscrapers easy enough if you opened them up to choosing... obstacles, or whatever they count as. I think at present he'd be able to basically teleport within the building if you just added that in. That might not be the worst thing, though? Going up and down a building and in and out of windows is absolutely in his wheelhouse.

That'd be cool to get working, since urban terrain is Spidey's forte.

On the tracers, I think the extra Web Swing use is mechanically a little muddy, since that's already a power that lets you use it multiple times. They also seem like more hardware than they're strictly worth - unless you're bringing other spider-dudes, not sure the move boost will be relevant often.

Obviously I like the skeleton of the design, though.

[IAmBatman]

I believe that the final designation was that buildings walls act as obstacles and any part of a building you can occupy is terrain.

[Arch-vile]

Does Spidey have a utility belt? I'd call it Spidey's Gadgets or something, but if he stores that stuff on his belt then ignore me.

Still wrapping my brain around the Spider-Tracers, but I dig it overall. A team-up Spidey definitely represents modern Spidey well.

[Ronin]

It's not the most iconic utility belt in comics, certainly! He's been using it since '63 though.

Like those random panels indicate, he sometimes has tech-y stuff on it these days. In the old days, it was pretty typically camera, tracers, spider-signal, and extra webbing.

I probably wouldn't shout out terrain in the web shooters, but maybe just add obstacles to the web shooters for the benefit of urban terrain stuff. Letting him pick skyscraper walls seems right.

[IAmBatman]

He does, apparently. I asked the same thing on Discord a bit ago and Ronin verified that he has for a while now, it seems.

by Ronin with the massive knowledge drop, of course.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, if Skyscraper walls are obstacles and he can land next to an obstacle, he should be able to swing into open windows at least.

[Arch-vile]

Cool stuff.
