    It's interesting that the 1* character is getting twice the interest of many 4* characters.

    I do like a change in my own behavior.
    BEFORE: Urg.. a bunch of Silver Tokens to wade through.
    AFTER: Oh boy! More Silver tokens!

    I'll definitely be building the new Spiderman once I get more covers.

    I got 7 silver tokens yesterday, and was hyped to get SPIDERMAN.

    Opened, them, got 2 gold covers for Colossus and GSBW, and only 2 Spiderman covers. Was the weirdest mix of surprise and disappointment.

    A) Spiderman is awesome

    B) 4*, while awesome, are a mere dream for 87% of players, and are only usable to a fraction of those who have them.

    Is he worth dropping Juggs as my only 1* for DDQ? Seems like he'd be just as useful in combined arms as Jugg is.

    You can't use 1* spidey against bagman who sometimes is on the 1-star node so I wouldn't recommend it.

    NOOOOOOOOO!

    On second thought, sell your juggs so I don't have to fight him in combined arms and balance of power. *wink*

    of course not, besides the bagman issue, with Jugg you could win the battle very quickly (2 match red to kill the hero, 2 match green to reset the board), but you need to spend much more time if you use any other 1* characters.

    this guy is pretty awesome, I feel like he is the 2nd best 1* after jugg, I'd keep him like jugg for the BoP PvP since he has the 2nd highest HP of 1*s at 2754 and that purple ability is pretty awesome with some utility from blue.

    will probably be a great character to hang onto when boosted in PvEs and for heroics.

    btw does anyone know for his purple if there are like 6 web tiles out does it make even more crit tiles or is it just capped at the 4?

    Edit: just thought of how cool purple is with 2* thor for new players if you drop 4 crit tiles and follow up with thunder strike to possibly make matches everywhere, jugg/thor/spiderman 1* is probably a really fun team

    I was just thinking about this, in certain PVE environments, couldn't he be snuck in as a third on a team and just be firing off those blue and purple abilities like crazy?

    The other two on the team would be tanking everything, would they also get the credit for the damage on the crit matches?

    I get that he is a 1* and has all sorts of limited usefulness, but I would make a slot for any character that will help rip through nodes.

    If that is the case, it would boost a lot of fast damage teams.

    The Crit Damage is for whichever character makes the match I believe, so in theory, your idea would work, but one bad AOE will wreck your day quick.

    You'd definitely have to use him only in fights where there are no AOE threats or difficult-to-avoid stuns (which could cause Spidey to tank for a few turns) but that's entirely viable. I used my L15 Juggernaut in quite a few goon fights in the first sub of his heroic, and his green was very helpful.

    He seems like he gets web tiles out fast. Makes Devour viable again in BOP?

    Pair him with 2* Bullseye and suddenly 16 black is lethal. All you need is a yellow user and you've got one potentially nasty BoP team.

    In BOP 1* Spidey, 2* Bullseye, Cage = UGH

    Does a hard gauntlet node last long enough to get 16 black?

    or put out some crits then hit BE black and watch that insane damage.
