Now that you've seen the stats for the six new figures in the Universe starter, which one do you like the best?

Spidey. Cheap spidey team, decent mix of classic powers.
I know Spider-Man is probably going to come out on top in this poll, but I have to say, I'm a HUGE fan of the new Wasp. For 19 points, she's got some excellent stats, in addition to being the cheapest free moving taxi in the game. She's a great fig, especially for the price.

Hobgoblin. Cheaper, more RCE and still has the SinSyn TA.

Wasp it is!!!
I was gonna vote for the Con Artist, but she wasn't an option! :p

I thought Hobgoblin would be on the short end of the stick simply because he's hobgoblin but Elektra?
Wolverine and Sabretooth bring more of the same stealth and blades. Nice and cheap for their points though. Wasp is a nice free moving taxi, Hobgoblin is good but still missing something, and Elektra ain't bad either.
Overall Spidey gets it since one: damage of two all the way through, some leapclimb, lots of supersenses for 40 points and on top of that he's got the wildcard!

But I have to say Dr. Strange is...oh wait:(
Spider-man, but Hobgoblin is a close second. I was expecting more of the new super-powers, but I can say I'm happy with what they put out.
All attempts to be clever (easily) aside, Spider-Man is the best figure out of the 6. A 2 Damage and Leap/Climb down its 5-click dial, some Super Strength to start (so he can pull an object out from under one of the stealth figs while passing by), reasonably good stats, a wildcard TA, aranged attack option, a couple clicks of Incapacitate down the dial, and a few clicks of Super Senses to start so that (statistically) one in 3 initially successful attack rolls against him will still miss.

Though I voted for Spidey, I have to say I'm also really looking forward to the new Wolverine as well, for a few points LESS than the rookie, you get the TA and better attacks values, not too shabby.

Spider-Man will be super-yoinker!
Well it sure isn't Wasp. "Let's remake her so we can include grounded." Truly lame.
I voted Spiderman, but none are truly impressive.

Spidey
Seems like it would have been a good time to update Quicksilver, instead of Wasp.
