Very Pushable, and pairs well with Mr.Fantastic from the starter set, 5 damage flurry on a fifty point fig? Sign me up!

My thoughts exactly! And combine that with Kang R SN to have him hit every turn on a Scientist Themed! AWESOME!!

What more can you ask for when you're only paying 50 points? 5 out of 5

Don't get me wrong; there's no reason this guy WON'T earn double his points in a game. But it's so bare bones for a Spider-Man that I feel like I'm looking at an LE from Infinity Challenge. I would have accepted that dial on Doppelganger. NOT Spider-Man himself. Still, I can't deny it plays well.

God Awful sculpt. The dial works just seems bland. Especially after seeing his daughter made. Still. cant go wrong for the points.

Vault + Pummel + Lunge + Maneuver = how Spidey fights in the comics.
For 76 points, I'll play that.

accurate, straight-forward powers that I feel would be well suited for a Rookie Spidey. Blech, what a sculpt. I swapped mine out for the old spidey sculpts pulled from their unplayable bases. Amazing deal for the points. Finally, I've got a reason to put my homeboy on every team.

Quite possibly the best use of 50 points in the whole game (other than giving two separate 200+ point bricks the Fortitude feat in a 1000 point game).
For just 4 points more, rookie Wildcat and his cheap 3DaV flurry ruled tourneys for a while. For fewer points, this Spidey brings 2 clicks of 3DaV flurry with good AV of his own, plus a range attack, plus being a wildcard. He loses a click of life plus regeneration but that's a worthy tradeoff, especially since, as a WC, he may be able to keep the regeneration (and even have more of it) if you're running SUicide Squad or even X-Men. For the points this guy is just sick; especially as he has the easily abusable Scientist keyword.
The sculpt is a cute concept but the execution is quite poor. Simple as that.
Comic accuracy, like with most versions of Spidey other than Critical Mass, still suffers. Yes, Spidey more often than not relies on his spider senses as his first means of defense, but Spidey warrants toughness also. Likewise, Spidey warrants super strength and there are too few spideys out there who have it; most having just incapacitate instead for his webbing. Lastly, while I appreciate his truncated dial length for keeping point cost down, Spidey should really be longer lived.

This guy broke my heart. His kid is in the set and she gets an 18 defense and to add insult to injury she gets the nifty spider sense power! Dont get me wrong for 50 points hes very playable, but he feels like he is missing some stuff like regular incap and an extra clix of life. Also why is this guy an exp spidey, he feels more like a rookie if you ask me. All that aside still for 50 points he is pretty playable. A shame he cant use the ATA of the FF.

a little under powered for Spider-man,the attack stats are right on it,,but the defense,should of been higher,,an the sculpt,,well lets just say i have 2 of them,one i kept intact for correctors sake,,the other i replaced with HeroScape figure.i am just wondering when is Spider-Man going to get hes much needed Stealth,,i mean for a guy who uses it all the time in the comics i would think he would finally get it on a Heroclix.

Thanks to his wildcard TA, he's a cheap, giant-killing piece worth a bit more than his points on any team. If he could move+attack, he'd be perfect. See my full review at http://www.pojo.com/heroclix/COTD/index.shtml

add loner and play him on a marvel knights team!
Does anyone think that 2nd hit incap. is more worthwhile than dishing 3 to someone you just smacked? Seems like they could have saved some ink ...

my only quarrel is with the pose. Horrid. Stats are simply amazing.
Sculpt is garbage. Other than that, this is one of the best under 100 point pieces in the game. Add Lunge, and he's a beast that is easily worth 2x his points. So pushable, and the Wildcard TA makes him almost broken. Great keywords too.
Solid spiderman clix wizkids makes alot of these spiderman clixs kind of like this (never exactly the same) but around the same pice range. he has a good enought defense attack is o.k there is other powers that could have been included, outwit perplex, def, barrier, ect. I think the mind set is he is a wildcard and not to make a broken piece. (just my idea) have nothing to validate this

Well a 5 for sure on playability. He is amazing for the points. Sculpt is the worst ever. Comic-accurate - he's missing the Spider-Man flair but being so cheap he will forever be the go-to guy which is kinda sad. But it is the Spider-Man that will fit on every team imaginable.

The Sesame street looking sculpt does not hold this guy back at all. So many keywords, along with the wildcard TA makes him infinitely playable on any team.
I took the Spider-Man from Heroscape and put on his dial and it looks awesome.

Superb piece. Spider-man can really dish out some pain to Impervious characters. ALL of his powers are INCREDIBLE. The stats are solid, and I LOVE that damage spike on the last click. He has some great keywords, and obviously the TA rocks. Even if he had a range of zero, he'd still be awesome.

2 attacks - 3 damage each - only 50 points - highly useful!
Indiana Ton

As mentioned before, the sculpt is a 1, but everything else is all 5's.
This guy is point and click. Pair him with the Fantastic Four or Avengers (make sure you include Dr. Strange) and you have your Spidey with 18 Defense (or 19 if perplexed by Reed or Strange) or if you use him for 50 points of blocking terrain, for Strange to carry around, you've got to hit an 18 all down his dial, and worry about hitting a 20-21 defense if Strange keeps Spidey next to the guy who hit him once.
The guy who hit Spidey has to worry about 8-10 clix of damage from Spidey (perplexed from Strange) and another 4-5 damage from Strange... (if you are using Brilliant Tactitian)
This Spidey's like whipped cream... You can pretty much use with anything, and it makes it better...

I've always had issues with how Spidey was portrayed in Heroclix. He's such a mobile figure that the very nature of the game made it hard to give him a good feel. Pounce (pre nerf) worked for awhile, then the transporter Spidey. And there are certainly fun versions of him to play. But this Spidey, used with Vault, Maneuver, and Lunge, is the closest thing to a comic accurate Spidey there has been. Easy to fit on teams even with all the cardboard, loaded with keywords, and able to take on figures three times his point value, this is the one I'll reach for from now on. Do yourself a favor and switch the sculpt to something else, though.
3 damage flurry seems way too "Spider-Man smash!" to me. I'd replace the flurry with perplex at a -1 only or just lose it altogether.
And i would like to note that Pounce was never "nerfed". It is exactly as powerful as it was when it came out, it just deals unavoidable damage. It's still a full-move w/ melee attack +1attack +1damage and was only changed so that Indomitable characters wouldn't get a free ride.
To Sate. The nerfing of pounce occurred when they made objects modify your damage value making it impossible to pounce while carrying an object.

This is perhaps the pinnacle of efficiency right here. 6 damage (splittable), 10 attack, 17 defense with Super Senses for 50 points? Lunge makes him even better, scarily enough. Put 3 of these guys, Mr. Fantastic with Brilliant tactician, and Stingray for a 300 point Scientist theme with devastating results.

The sculpt is ugly, but that's pretty much the only bad thing to say about this piece.
50 POINTS?! What's going on?! It's completely broken : 4 attractive keywords, excellent stats all dial long, 2 clix at 3 DV meaning a pretty pushable guy (in fact his whole first and second clix happen to be just exactly the same). Oh, and by the way, Spider-Man TA.
Quintessential Spidey, lacking Superstrength and Incap, but who cares?...
I say it again : this piece is TOO cheap.
This 50 point monster has become one of my signature figs. I've given this fig to so many new players, and obviously kept one for myself. The thing that made me fall for this fig was in a 1000 point three way game. I had a scientist team with him on it. One guy was playing KC figures with Superman Prime, and the other guy had a misc team with Anti Monitor (600 points). Anti Monitor and Prime slugged it out for awhile, then I TK'd spidey up to a building, perplexed his damage with Mr Fantastic (double perplex), lunged, hit prime, killed him. targeted Anti Monitor with the second attack and killed him. They were both injured before I stepped that in, but that's 918 points, in one action, with a 55 point figure. Beat that with another fig around that cost

Cheap enough to add two to your army and still have a heavy hitter. This piece kills when ignored.

This is one of my go to clixs for the points.
Just not a fan of the sculpt. It's too tall to fit in my case so it has to go in my giants case. In scale it with other figs, he is HUGE. I need to pop it of and glue an old one on. The sculpt from IC is so much better, I may put that one on.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a figure that can output this much damage at 50 points... those Flurries sure add up, and it's not like you can't push him to lay waste to the opposition. The fact that he has his wildcard TA and decent range on that 3 damage is incredible. I would have point-costed him at 70 but clearly the designers wanted a Spidey in every basket.
One of my favorite tactics is to play him on a 500 point "Fantastic Five" team. Him, the Fantastic Four from the starter set, Brilliant Tactician on MR. Fantastic, Trick Shot on Invisible Woman, Lunge on Spidey, and Unstoppable on Thing. Have Reed double perplex spidey's damage, and wham! 10 clicks from his dual flurries.

Excelent dial for a rookie Spidy, although I think Super Strengh would have been in that dial for a better comic accuracy. For 50 points, Spidey has brutal stats, and he's wildcard. His special power's awesome for the points. A perfect dial, but a horrible sculpt present in my nightmares!!
sonicdash100
01/15/2011, 12:42
Sculpt is clearly based on the simplistic artwork of Ditko in the 1960s. Thus it has the Fantastic Four keyword because during that time period Spider-man attempted to join the Fantastic Four.
He was my favorite 50point figure after Warlord.
SpyderSpawn

Ok, picture this...This spiderman holding the crimson gem of cytorrak from GSX!
Charge! Super Strength, flurry, four damage plus to top it all off toughness to ward off poison and other such one damage whittling.
A possible 10 damage with a heavy in one round!
I'd be happy with that for 50pts wouldn't you?:devious:
DucksFlying81
06/02/2011, 17:55
Undercosted for sure, but so good. The first two clicks are what make him a rock star, but the wildcard and solid keywords also help to ensure him a frequent appearance on the table. Favorite moment: the other night I perplexed his damage up to six and flurried. First attack KOed Nightshade. Second attack KOed Jason Blood. Two feedback damage from Mystics, one damage from pushing, but having a 50 point figure flurry for twelve damage was priceless.
Spider-Bat
06/06/2011, 22:42
In the example DucksFlying81 gave, wouldn't the effects of the Perplex go away as soon as Spidey took the 1st Mystic click? Spidey hits Nightshade for 6 Damage, so he takes a click of Mystic feedback, then he does the 2nd part of the Flurry 9since he still has the SP) and hits Jason Blood for 3 Damage (the printed Damage on click 2). Spidey then takes a 2nd click of Mystic feedback and the action resolves. The 2nd Action Token is placed and Spidey becomes Pushed. So, Spidey would deal 9 clicks of Damage, not 12. Still a worthwhile deal, but not as great as was posted.
Or is there something I'm missing from that story?

I do like the WoS #7 a lot but for 50 points you really can't go wrong.
Oh, and I put the Infinity Challenge sculpt on this dial. :cool:
Hawkeye101
08/05/2011, 05:04
Team him up with Richards for that +2 perplex to damage, and watch him go to town on someone for 10. :3
not bad for 50 points, but i hate the figure on the dial ima change it out with mutant mayhem spiderman lol
Awesome dial, great "FF" keyword, but terrible sculpt. Switched this happy meal version out with the Xplosion Unique's web shield sculpt. Now a very cool Spider-Man all around.
On top of everything else, this 50 point murder machine out of a cereal box is also an Aboriginal Hulk killer. Have someone outwit his indomitable, then flurry him. With the Hulk's defense of 0, Spidey is all but guarenteed the first hit, and for the second, opt to give him a token instead of raw damage. Since it isn't incapacitate, battle fury doesn't protect him. Since his indomitable is outwitted, that can't protect him either. Of course this strategy already requires hulk to have a token, but that's a minor detail
@Jareth
tribal hulk ignores ALL damage thats not from an attack thats doubles. ALL damage. theres not much room for confusion here. so no, spidey here would have just as hard a time taking him down as everyone else.
It's been ruled that Abloriginal Hulk doesn't ignore unpreventable damage, like the kind that comes from pushing. So, when you outwit his indomitable, then apply a token to him, it pushes him, which results in him losing the one click he has, and going bye-bye. So, yes, actually, spidey has an easy time with hulk

Still my go-to Spider-Man over the WoS #007 version. I really like his cheap cost and he still feels like a Spider-Man. I just wish he had Super Strength for at least one click.
The Guy of Evil
05/13/2012, 19:55
Why is he 4 stars and 5 stars at the same time?
Gabellius
07/14/2012, 14:24
When is this Spidey going to be replaced? I mean, when I'm reaching for a Spider-Man, this is STILL the best option all around. Cruelly efficient for the points, and tons of keywords to meet most of your themed team needs. I've even warmed up to the sculpt after all this time. Until we get a definitive Spidey, which the WoS set failed to produce, this is still the reigning best Spider-Man in HeroClix.

acctually ure forgetting another "minor detail" and its called fantastic forces invisible woman with an 18 defend, sorry but spidey here is gunna have a hard time hitting on the first attack only sporting a 10.

I think you're the one forgetting a minor detail here. The Fantastic Forces Invisible Woman has Barrier, not Defend. I'm assuming you meant the 37 point Clobbering Time R Invisible Girl, but who's bothering to put her next to Outback Hulk? And how is that a fair comparison for "Hulk vs Spidey"? By the same logic, we could assume that Spidey has 4 R Con Artists with him (which would still be 2 pts less than Bruce Banner (55 pts) and CT R Invisible Girl (37 pts).
For 55 pts vs 55 pts, let's look at Banner having AE'd into Hulk, and Spider-Man with Lunge. Given that, my money is on Spidey. He can Lunge in and Flurry, giving him 2 chances to get doubles before Hulk can Attack.
