sorry if asked already

Monday.

I'll definitely slot this guy if only to use him in ddq combined arms and balance of power.

Cool costume, and he actually can hit stuff.

I'd like to see more one-stars, along with reasons to use them.

Art is on point; I hope this marks the first steps into a new world.
Also thoroughly excited at the idea of a scrappy fighter Spider-Man even if it's just a 1* version. I wonder if there's a way to see the look of horror on the new players faces as they finally leave the 1* tier behind for the 2* and 3* tiers only to discover that Spider-Man got beat around the head with a lead pipe.

So here is a question if we turn the tutorial back on will the vets get to try spidey out?

No, but he'll be available for vets to pick up. And being a 1*, that means you'll be selling excess copies pretty quickly. Assuming of course you give the poor guy a roster slot.

Edit: I'm really interested a month or two from now to see how many vets have Ditko Spidey in their roster versus Bag-Man.

I'd be fairly interested in seeing how many vets have Bag-Man currently - I'd say it's already mostly just the collectors. In fact, how many non-vets have Bag-Man? He's never been an essential, and he's not a part of any transition team. Vets are actually more likely to have the luxury of a "spare" roster slot, newbies get to experience the "fun" of deciding which covers to keep because they don't have the roster slots available.

I kicked a guy outta my alliance once for having BagMan in his roster.

Pose missing

Pretty disappointed that they didn't use this opportunity to revamp Spider-Man's base art (like they did Wolverine). His long-**** arms in his character select pose have always creeped me the hell out.

Moon Roach

In Roaches, only 2 of us have a Bagman, and neither of us have put any ISO into him.

I still have a suspicion that they'll spring an event on us where he's the 2* essential.

What are everyone's thoughts on optimum build?

Probably 3/5/5 once you have left the one-star phase. The utility of stun and critical tiles beats the damage any day.

Unknown

Between this guy and 1* Storm that will be all colours covered. Looks like 1* Iron Man's days on my roster may be numbered.

Also surprised no one is lobbying for the Iron Spider. No one else thinks the Iron Spider is as cool if not cooler than the black suit?

Count me in as one of those vets. I've got a 5/3/5 lvl 15 Bag-Man. Wouldn't mind having both, but HP is scarce since I started building dupes.

Heartburn

any thoughts for a 1* only story with spider man boosted where he traveled back in time to help rescue 3* spiderman as doc oc has captured him and is trying make superior spiderman and depending on how the player base does we get either black suit spiderman as the next 4* or we loose we get superior spiderman as the next 4* it could be a cast your vote at the end of the story where doc oc explains compellingly that spiderman can't protect them from up coming threat *teaser teaser* and needs to take him over and make the choices spiderman can't make.....


but then again that would be asking for new content besides new characters and that seems to be asking too much from this dev team.

They did just say the prologue is getting a makeover. I might start a second account just to try it out.

Pylgrim

Adding my voice to the clamour that this very well signifies a buff for 3* Spidey. New players that get started with this Spidey will be VERY disappointed when they realise that their shiny new 3* Spider-Man is actually relatively weaker than the 1* one.

Bowgentle

I can't wait to play against the Level 395 version in PVE for a new 4* character.

Xenoberyll

I wouldn't mind if 3star Spidey became a lazy version of this one.

It's great for new players to get a fan favourite early in the game. I remember i was exited and a bit disappointed about Bag-Man when i started - exited because he's Spider-Man, disappointed because it's the obscure Bag-Man version - i learned about game value later

Since I have a gotta catch em all mentality (every character/color cover in the game), I guess I'll have to buy a slot for 1* SM. Will I get to use it much? That's the more relevant question to me personally.

ThePLAV

Kinda disappointed this isn't Gwen Stacy. Prolly won't see another Spidey until 5* are introduced. Unless they separate Miles like Kamala.

JangoLore

I've always wondered what it would look like to have Venom actually eat a character! Though the animation is different, having the character zero out and disappear would be pretty satisfying.

Unknown

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.

Malcrof

0/0/5 for team ups, 5/3/5 to use in DDQ.

May finally get to see venom eat someone whole!
