THE SINISTER SIX
You may add 1 Criminal or Antagonist Unique Hero on your team to the Sinister Six faction, as long as doing so results in exactly 6 Unique Heroes on your team in the Sinister Six. If all Unique Heroes on your team are in the Sinister Six, all Unique Heroes you control other than Doctor Octopus have +1 Attack and +2 Move.

MASTER PLANNER
Instead of Doctor Octopus' ordered activation, you may activate up to X Sinister Six Unique Heroes and then end your turn. X is the number on the Order Marker you revealed this turn. As many of the activated Heroes as possible must be Heroes that have not yet been activated this round.

Can't totally feel out the changes to his first ability yet, but they mostly narrow down the builds he can run in a lot from 1.0 anyway, and having him in place gives us somewhere to test mechanical changes on the last couple OG Sin Six cards (or other stray criminals we design).

So there are changes here but I think he can just be treated as a port. His defensive thing and OM efficiency are the same, just team composition will end up looking a little different.

[IAmBatman]

Probably don't need the "figure" after enemy in Tentacle Swat. Everything else looks pretty clean to me.

The changes don't register as anything that should affect his value, IMO, so I'm happy to go right to art.

[Yodaking]

I also see this as a port over, the change to membership isn't significant enough to change points IMO. Love the tip here!

[Splash]

I use this Doc Ock way more than OckI, but the one thing the first one has on him is like getting up buildings and stuff, I kind of always wished this one could do that still, but I know that might squeeze him on text or make it overly busy. Is there any small way to tack that in somewhere?

Also did we drop the thing where you can't go taller than yourself for figures in 2.0?

[Yodaking]

Yeah, only limit on going up is your move number. With a move of 7, he should be able to climb on to some stuff.

[Ronin]

Yeah we ditched the height-climbing limit.

I'd prefer to leave climbing out, not quite important enough to merit the extra text.

[Splash]

What would y'all think of Ock pulling in 1 Unique Criminal OR Antagonist?

Like the whole team started specifically to kill Spider-Man and not do generic crime, so it'd make sense. I don't think we'd need to worry about any Antagonist takeover since he'd only add one, the pool will be smaller in 2.0, and he needs exactly 6 SinSix to function best.

Gobby shouldn't have the SinSix faction since it isn't super comics representative, but it would still be fun to have the possibility, like I would personally love a similar grouping to the villains in No Way Home to be possible.

[Ronin]

Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I was hoping to keep him at a nice, streamlined singular call-out but Antagonist wouldn't be a bad add.

True and it would probably help as a tool to get some symbiotes in there as well

[Arch-vile]

Yeah, that's a cool idea.
