_________________________________________________________________

Character Bio - During a trip to the Savage Land, Peter Parker and Warren Worthington III (Angel) were captured by the Savage Land Mutates: who were created by Magneto. The Mutates' leader, Brainchild, used them as guinea pigs in a machine that "devolved" them into primordial forms (Spider-Man was transformed into a monstrous man-spider hybrid, and Angel into a griffin-like form) in order to use them as enforcers in the Mutates' conquest of the Savage Land. Fighting against the savage nature of his new form, Peter seeks a way to be cured alongside Warren.

NAME = MAN-SPIDER
SECRET IDENTITY = PETER PARKER

SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = CREATURE
PERSONALITY = SAVAGE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 7

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 3
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 270

SPIDER-VERSE: CLAMBER 40
Once per turn, before, during or after moving, you may place Man-Spider on any empty space within 2 spaces of his current location, as long as that space is no more than 40 levels up or down. Man-Spider will not take any leaving engagement attacks when moving with this special power.

UNCONTROLLED RAGE
When attacking normally with Man-Spider, if you do not roll a blank, all skulls rolled count as one additional hit.

WEB SPECIAL ATTACK
Range 4. Attack 3.
Figures roll 1 fewer defense die when defending against this special attack.

SPIDER SENSES 11
If Man-Spider is attacked and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die. Subtract 4 from the roll if the attacking figure is a Symbiote. If you roll 11 or higher, Man-Spider takes no damage and may immediately use his Spider-Verse: Clamber special power.

I have the figure ordered.

[Ronin]

Maybe lose the defense subtraction from Spider Clamber, to give it a difference from Symbiote Clamber? 4 Attack Uncontrolled Rage is really strong already, I don't think he needs to be cutting defense on top of that anyhow.

[Karat]

That works fo me, then it has the disengage and no defense subtraction.

[Ronin]

Ah right, you've got the disengage as well. I missed that, but I still like losing the defense subtraction to moderate his offensive output a little.

[Karat]

Same. Good call. Saves quite a bit of text space too.

[Yodaking]

Thinking the base attack needs to come down if you are giving him double skull dice. Just on his own on flat ground he's generating 8 hits right now, that's better than the Hulk. Give him stat boosters, high ground, etc. and 12 hits isn't out of range. That's god level. Best bet is to go the SA route to avoid the boosting issue.

Only if he doesn't roll blanks. Plus it's basically the same as Mammoth. By lowering the stat, you increase the likelihood that it occurs.

I still reckon it would be good to make a new power for Web Special Attack giving it a multi-attack, just to make it more worthwhile and to represent him using his webs more aggressively.

I'll take it under consideration.
