Question on MJ's special power.

[DFitz1138]

THE GREATEST ALLY OF ALL: When a friendly character named Peter Parker or Spider-Man is within 8 squares, Mary Jane Watson can use the Spider-Man team ability.

Now would "Cosmic Spider-Man" work? or does it only work with those named only "Spider-Man"?

I just want to make sure i'm not thinking of some strategy for when it comes out and then later on find out it won't work lol.

It has to be the exact name. Simply, No

[DFitz1138]

Ok, I figured that but just wanted to make sure since Cosmic spidey has Spider-Man in his name and her power doesn't say the word exact or anything. Oh well, time to see if I can find another use for her lol.

Unless errata comes out saying otherwise, I could not rule that it would work.

We have the guidelines for this, and the only exceptions are capitalization (Spider-Man vs. SPIDER-MAN) and abbreviations (Doctor Doom vs. Dr. Doom). Anything else will require errata. :cool:

It might happen. Fire Demons were changed to work with RagSurt.

This came up in a different thread, but since it applies here too....

They actually have not introduced the abbreviation exception yet. nbperp indicated in an article that it would be coming, but it has yet to make it to the rules. (See this thread for more (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=282265).) Until then, Doctor Doom and Dr. Doom are not the same name.
