If you are like me I really think that spidey basically sucks especially for his point cost. And since he is one of my favorite characters I think Wizkids needs to do something to make Spidey really special. So I propose a new power for spidey that would really Give him a big boost. The power would be Yank/Pull Not sure exactly where it would go on the dial but essentially what it would do is you can give spidey a ranged action and Yank a character in to base to base contact with spidy. This would allow him to either pull an enemy in close to clobber him with say flurry or pull one of your opponents figures in to base to base so they can not shoot at one of your other figures. You could also do it with one of your own figures and pull them away from a potentially deadly foe or just pull them out of line of site with a shooter.

How many times have we seen in comic books when spidey shoots a web and pulls someone out of harms reach. I think this would make a great power for him and a few other figures I could think of. This would also be fantastic on close combat teams. One of the big issues I see with close combat is that usually you don't have a chance to get your figs in to fight this would help solve this problem.

Just one of a long list of wishes for heroclix.

That's an interesting idea. I've thought a good new power for Spiderman (and a few characters) would be a modified Leap/Climb that differ characters that move by webbing, rope, etc from L/Cers such as Hulk. It would have the same benefits as regular L/C but add the ability Charge at full movement! It would be like when Spiderman anchors webbing on a lamppost, then swings around it to do a flying kick or punch into an opponent.

Other candidates would be Daredevil, Batman and Robin, etc.

I think yank/pull is personal and should not be talked about in a forum

Heh heh...Good one m1s1n...

As for Spider-Man, I think he could be accurately represented with the powers we have now, but who else might benefit from Yank/Pull?

I don't know what the designers were thinking when they came up with IC Spider-Man...2 damage? He should have at least 1 click of 3 damage, if he doesn't have Super-Strength, which he doesn't. Don't get me started on his having no Super Senses? That's like Wolverine without Blades/Claws/Fangs, or Bullseye without Ranged Combat Expert. What was going through the mind of the guy who said "Spider-Man should not have Super Senses!"

Sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent there.
