Card Updates:
21 November 2020 - Swing Line wording update

[IAmBatman]

NAME = SPIDER-MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = PETER PARKER

SPECIES = SYMBIOTE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = RECLUSE
PERSONALITY = CONFLICTED

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 5

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 5
DEFENSE = 3

POINTS = 275

RAGE AND REMORSE
If at least 3 skulls are rolled when attacking with Spider-Man's normal attack, he may attack again. Spider-Man may continue attacking this way until he rolls fewer than 3 skulls or attacks a fourth time. If Spider-Man inflicts three or more wounds during his turn, his turn immediately ends; until the start of the next round, he may not attack or use his Symbiote Spider-Sense special power.

SYMBIOTE SPIDER-SENSE 9
If Spider-Man is attacked by an enemy figure and at least 1 skull is rolled, roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 9 or higher, Spider-Man takes no damage and may immediately use his Swing Line special power. After moving this way, roll an unblockable attack die, one at a time, against each figure adjacent to Spider-Man.

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

Just gonna call dibs on doing the card here. Design looks solid.

[Yodaking]

Black suit Spidey is the one that met the Autobots, it all comes back around to Transformers for me....

[Arch-vile]

Really solid design, I love it. Pretty sure Ronin has a bunch of minis he was grabbing pics of.

I’m very interested to see how he plays. Until OM3 you are likely avoiding near dead figures but high life figures you go ape on knowing that if you do end up destroying that figure it be worth it. I feel like it’s not going to play the way it’s intended but I’m definitely open to being wrong here. On paper it looks good. Just unsure of how it plays out.

I’m guessing with his dodginess I’m guessing he’d be a good lead off figure that just bounces around with his 5 attack hoping to weaken the enemy but not KO anyone unless it’s his last OM.

[Ronin]

Yeah, I've got pictures up of a few options in my album, under Spider-Man (Black Suit). My first choice is probably the one from the Sinister set. There's another one in there I really like, but it was one of WizKids' OP Kit figures, which are more limited releases.

[IAmBatman]

Honestly I think it most makes strategic sense to try to pair him with Order Marker hubs and avoid the possibility of turn loss until at least end game.

Still love it! I worry about it fitting on a card though. Stupid movement powers taking so much room.
