About the same here -- 30 recruit tokens opened, 4 of Spidey (plus a Vision red)

Yes, I just opened 30 recruit tokens and got 4 new Spideys.

Being a 1*, you'll be seeing enough of the character in Standards that picking them up when you have a spare slot shouldn't be a huge deal in any case.

I'm going to build one speced at 544 just so I can remember what it's like to build a character from scratch in a week instead of a year.

And 10 minutes after getting R81 I now have a L50 544 OSM. Yay for hoarding standards for no real reason!

DFiPL

29 tokens opened, three spidey (1) and the last wolvie (3) cover I needed for my preferred spec.

Furious1

I hoarded 18 tokens and got just 1 Spidey cover. But I did get 7 storm covers though...

Along those lines... IF, by a completely random example, and not at all relating to unofficial third-party intel of any kind... if the All-New X-Men version of Cyclops JUST SO HAPPENED to be added to the game at some point... he should definitely be coded to be able to group with *** Cyclops -- because the entire point of his being brought to the present by Beast was so that the two could interact/talk/be in the same place at the same time.

Yep. Same as if we released older Jean Grey for that matter. They're different people, no reason they can't be around in the same team. The only reason you can't use Goddess Thor and Odinson Thor at the same time is that there's only one (real) Mjolnir.

Why couldn't they just toss the Mjolnir back and forth between themselves. Thor thows down Call the Storm and tosses the hammer to Thor to Smite the last man standing.

So when jane doesn't have the hammer, would her Heath go down to about 6? Without it, she is nearly dead.

wym's idea is great, let's have a thor tag team character don't listen to malcrof!!!

Can they both hold it at the same time? Thor Twins... Activate!

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.

I think placing 4 crits has a good chance to cause cascades that will get rid of a few Web tiles.

Made a 535 on my sandbox and the crits instant matched immediately and the web tiles were mostly left intact. Once it gets started the web tiles don't really disappear.

Turned in like 150 and ended up with 553. I'll wait for the last 2 purple from PvP wins. (10+ red covers, 8 or so blue, very few purple)

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.

I think that's honestly appropriate. Venom suppresses Spider Sense, so in a direct one on one fight between the two, Venom has always had the upper hand. Spiderman has only been able to defeat Venom by using his wits and other outside sources to weaken him.

This does also open the door for the Spidey/Venom combo being revived for the 1st time in well over a year! New players will probably carry a Spidey/Venom team into PvP and see some pretty high scores, perhaps even high enough that I may see some easy points floating around

I honestly think 1* Spidey / Venom should be able to clear the 395 Hulk only node fairly easily.

Addressing JVreal's comment:

**** SOME COMICS SPOILERS ****

I get what you're saying but in the comic books, there are scenes in which past (All-New) and present X-men are standing together talking. That includes Cyclops, Beast and Ice-man but not Angel and Jean because their present selves are already dead. There were even a couple scenes with past, current, and future Beast and Iceman along with past Jean and the future version of her past self that stayed in the present. Crazy. As far as I know the All-New X-men haven't returned to the past yet so we don't know how that will happen, if they'll remember being in the future and change things or how it will affect the current timeline.

In the first few issues though they were hesitant about going back to the past when they had the chance because they knew that the past Prof. X would be able to read their minds, know that they had seen the future and would erase their memories of it so that they wouldn't have the chance to change their behavior and alter the future. They didn't want that because the whole reason why they were brought to the future in the first place was to see what has transpired and aspire to be better X-men and keep the bad things from happening.

Didn't all that stop mattering when the world(s) ended, anyway?

I opened 150ish as well and got a 454 build. That last purple will have to wait until I get some more (sold an extra blue as well).

Open your standard tokens! He's here!

kuribosshoe

I know people want to team him and Venom with bullseye, but I think they'll do better with obw gathering ap and healing, with 5/4 Venom just rapid firing symbiote snare and devouring everything

I want to pair him with 2* Bullseye n QS and call them '2 Crit 2 Quit'

I opened 30 something tokens and got a 3/4/4 build. This spiderman is great. The more I play him, the more I wish the 3* version was like this. He adds more and more web tiles to the board with no powers that actively remove them making him more dangerous as the game progresses. So if you were facing a scaled up version, you either take him out first or face being hit by a strong power, longish stun or 4 critical tile. Definitely a well thought out character.

I know this conversation thread has changed quite a bit, but am the only one that think the current and Spider-Man should swap powers? The actually sounds more like the Spider-Man I would have expected from the beginning! seems more true to the comic books, after all, Spider-Man never overcame Venom, Carnage, or the Sinister Six with stuns, protect tiles, or healing. He did, however, use his swing ability and web bullets. Kind of bummed I won't end up placing Spider-Man on my roster in the future because this version sounds awesome

If anything, 3 star spiderman's yellow heal should be changed to something more offensive, cause he's far to defensive and the game doesn't really reward you for being defensive either in PvE or Verses events, all you do is slow down the time it takes for the AI to wipe your team! Just imagine a falcon, loki, (3*) spiderman team, you'd never defeat anyone

I wish 3star Spidey was made a "lazy" version of the 1star or something similar. But they'll probably just do a 4star Miles Morales version with venom blast instead.

This is what I wanted 3* Spiderman to be, instead we get the sub-par supporting 3* Spiderman that we currently have (I kept my Spiderman because he's my favorite Marvel character). I demand them to switch powers.

Malcrof

Can't seem to pull him off silver tokens, opened 40 of them for 1 cover.. but PVP wants to give me one every couple of matches.

Unknown

Also, shouldn't Spidey be getting a "new character" boost for the PVE events? <_<

Jorit

So yes, I got lucky and drew a 1* Spiderman cover.

Is there something coming up where I need him? Otherwise, not sure I want to spend 900 HP to add him for no reason.
