Okay, it's utterly batty nuggets that this 1* has way, WAY better abilities than his 3* counterpart.

Just said the same thing in the announcement thread. It's a bad joke.

I think it's interesting that Venom dominates this character. It relies on web tiles, but there's no ability here that gets rid of web tiles. If you use his abilities too much, Gargan's only 12 black from downing any character.

His purple looks great, especially against goons. He could conceivably be used as a utility character 3/5/5 with teams needing purple/blue active coverage. Will probably waste a roster slot on him... because he's spiderman. Hope the art is good. Can see new players using him with Storm for rainbow active coverage, and him tanking.

His art is in the announcement forum, I believe. It looks pretty good, they're going for ditko era webbed arms suit and I like it.

Never been a fan of the small eyes, but I like everything else.

And this is one of the reasons we shut down the spoiler thread. There are around a dozen characters and a half dozen big features that made it through some point in code but got shelved for one reason or another. It'll happen in the future as well. So data mining and speculation isn't always the best way to build hype.

To be fair, I never looked at the spoiler thread and the reason I know there was supposed to be another version of Cyclops was because Joe Fletcher let it slip in the Marvel interview.

"This 3* (rare) version of Cyclops runs off the power and leadership side of Cyclops’ persona, with abilities that show off the more brute force side of him as opposed to the Hawkeye-like trick shots that he’s also perfectly capable of. "

Can't blame this one on the spoiler thread.

1 stars only... that explains the massive black eye on spidey mask, lol

Looking at Spectacular Strategy vs QS Fists of Fury... it feels just wrong when 1* got actually better power than 3*

So should I sell my IM35 for OSM? (has there been a consensus on his shorthand name)

MY IM35 is fully maxed and it will be sad to sell him. (of course he was my first char)
Is he actually worth an extra slot?

Depends where you are at in the game transition. If you're already in the 2-3 star, I wouldn't change it unless you just want to try a new 1 star character in the DDQ.

If you're just worried about game effectiveness, Id say its too early to say, and give time for Spidey to be in peoples hands and be used for a bit first.

I myself will be playing him cause Im a spidey fan at heart.

Keep in mind if you are thinking of dropping IM35 for Spiderman AND IM35 is your only 1*, Bagman is your opponent in the "That Guy From That Place" nodes in DDQ once every ten days. In the greater scheme of things, 2,500 every ten days probably isn't that big of a loss if you're a big Spiderman fan, but it's something to at least be aware of.

That aside, I'm tempted to give the Spiderman/Storm/Venom 1* team Kolence mentioned earlier a try. Sure it's a stupid waste of roster spots for someone with maxed 2*'s and a growing corp of usable 3*'s, but it's a bit late for me now to worry about taking this game too seriously

Bad Malcrof. Bad.

Yeah, I completely forgot Bags being in the DDQ rotation. They really should pull him, Hawk, and Storm out so they don't cause conflicts.

I'm fortunate enough to be in 4* land. But his slot is gonna cost me 1K HP ugh! But yes who doesn't love spiderman!!! I'll probably end up selling IM35 for Spidey. I'll be excited to try him out in BOP and Combined arms!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm so glad to see him at the 1* level and not just another 4*

Can't blame this one on the spoiler thread.

With that one, I was speaking in general terms, not announcing a new character. I also talked about Ego the Living Planet on the Marvel Live Steam at SDCC recently, doesn't mean it's planned (or is it?).

A couple variants made it into code/art at some point or another. That happens with a lot of characters though (who remembers GotG Iron Man from soft launch?) Doesn't mean that all those characters make it out into the game.

I'm sure the character artists and animators will be pleased to know that they have a deadline of tomorrow to get that all done.
