He can be in the middle or at the back and he still get damage reduction as long as there is at least one web tile. As for tanking, depending on who you team him up with, he's likely to be tanking green and blue. That works for team damage only--you need him UP FRONT (a la tanking) to get the benefit of diffusing single target effects. This is really not a good passive for your team unless you can put him up front.And for your tanking statement--why do you assume he's likely tanking green and blue? I assume he's tanking NOTHING as he's the newest 4* on your roster, and unless you're pairing him with 3*'s or Miles/Gwen, he's sitting in the back--not negating damage, not creating web tiles, not doing much of anything...EDIT: I feel like I'm the only person on here who is horribly underwhelmed by this toon. His best partner (5* Parker) can't be used with him. And how often do you see Gwen/Miles teams now? Seems like a gimmick toon to me, but what do I know.

Is this a typo or is something wrong? Typically these do start at 7am on Thursday's so it makes me think something might be wrong, but I could also see them deploying it at the same time as the boss event.

I assume it will go live when the pre-boss battle data push hits in a few hours.

It was stated that the typo above was fixed for SHIELD Training, I quoted the H4H (which is still absent, but makes sense to come in at the same time).It was also confirmed by a dev on discord 12PM EDT is the correct time.

So, you can forget about him soaking match damage, unless the description changed. Which means Grocket/Medusa/Gamora >>> Spiderverse as they will melt the face of Parker with strikes before he can ramp up. Honestly the perfect partner for Spidey is Shuri... if they didn’t have the exact same color configuration, in the exact same order, with the exact same color (blue) being passive for both. Ah, it's more likely that I just didn't catch that distinction when I first read it. I guess we'll need some clarification as to what is included in "enemy powers" then. Certainly not straight match damage then, but what about damage caused by passive powers? What about a power like America Chavez's 'Punch Everyone' where match damage is increased by a % for each AP she has in that color?

I'd be fine with him being low-mid HP if his match numbers were high to ensure he tanks and puts out web tiles. Unless he only creates two web tiles at five covers I’ve gotta disagree. His passive is valuable for its ability to create web tiles and far less so for the damage reduction. The damage reduction is only significant with a large number of web tiles available so web tile creation is his key mechanic. 5/3/5 all the way for me.
