Character Bio - Hobie Brown became a Spider Totem after being bitten by a spider mutated by illegal waste dumping. Using his powers and his pull as the lead singer of the punk rock bank Spider-Slayers, he teams up with Captain Anarchy and creates an army to fight President Norman Osborn’s oppressive regime. With Osborn and his military police backed by the V.E.N.O.M. projects which gives them all symbiotic super suits, the Anarchic Spider-Man fights them using the weapon he knows best: Music!

While he continues to fight the Man throughout his life, the Superior Spider-Man recruits him into his Spider-Army when all Spider Totems are threatened throughout the multiverse.

NAME = SPIDER-MAN
SECRET IDENTITY = HOBIE BROWN (CO)

SPECIES = MUTATE
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = ENTERTAINER
PERSONALITY = REBELLIOUS

SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5

LIFE = 4

MOVE = 6
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 5

POINTS = 160


SPIDER-PUNK RIOT 9
Once per round, instead of attacking with Spider-Man, you may choose a figure adjacent to each figure you control that has the Rebellious personality or that has a Spider-Verse, Swing Line, or Web Swing special power. One at a time for each chosen figure, roll the 20-sided die, adding 2 to the roll if the chosen figure is a Symbiote. If you roll 9 or higher, the chosen figure receives one wound. You may not choose the same figure more than once per turn.

FENDER BENDER
Instead of attacking with Spider-Man, you may roll either 1 or 3 unblockable attack dice against an adjacent figure. If you roll 3 dice, Spider-Man's Fender Bender and Spider-Punk Riot special powers are negated for the rest of the game.

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.

Alrighty, possibly my favorite alt-universe Spider-Man! The plan is for him to come in at 160, there are no Spiders at that cost yet. He's throwing a bunch of unblockables, but I think they're restricted enough that his cost shouldn't be pushed too high. Another option if we don't like Fender Bender is just reusing Spider-Agility. It'd fit good here since he's pretty aggressive. Otherwise I think he's in a pretty good spot, been workshopped a few times.

Actually claimed the art for this one I will just take my own mini pictures for the card.

Are there plans for a separate Amplifier DO still or nah?

[Lord Pyre]

I ended up nabbing a figure for a pretty good deal on ebay not too long ago, so I can grab pics too if you want. Should I just assume you're doing all of the Spideys at this point?

I wouldn't say there's PLANS to make the Slayers' Amp, but I want to keep the idea in my back pocket. I'm planning on cutting him off of it anyway since I don't like terrain in my figures, but I do get others not wanting to do that do a pricier figure.

[Arch-vile]

This is the Prowler?

Looks pretty good. I might up the range on Spider-Punk Riot, since it’d be tricky to get more than 1-2 figures with it otherwise, but at the same time the limited range keeps him cheap. Fender Bender is pretty funny.

You mean that the Spiders have to choose adjacent figures? My thinking is that UK is going to move ALL of your spiders into engagements before you punk out with Hobie. So we COULD, but I don't think it's necessary.

Cool, happy to not take them if you provide good ones too. And I'm down to do all the Spider-folk, I did promise Ark he could have Symbiote Gwen.

[Karat]

Looks neat. I do think you may need to specify a bit about rolling in SPR, like do you roll once for all figures, one at a time?

[tcglkn]

As worded it's pretty clear that you roll one at a time.

[Lord Pyre]

Yeah I think the "For each figure" covers that they're all separate. I'm always down for more clarity if needed though. It's definitely the intent that they're all separate.
