I also think the leader should be Peter but it is probably miles so they don't have to make a new Peter Parker spidey card with his leadership buff. I would have been ok with Spider-Man noir being on the list too.

**AduroT**

I imagine well get more spiders as time goes on.

**Alpharius**

We NEED Spider-Man 2099 in his proper costume too!

(OK, *I* need that, but...)

**hotsauceman1**

He had a game not to long ago, so I can see him coming out.
What we need is Morbius and Blade

**Manchu**

YES to all three!

Plus DOOM 2099!

Ok, regular Doom first of course.

Is The Thing as big as the Hulk? He might get a Solo box
So i can Imagine Getting Sue and Johny in a box, then Mr Fantastic and Doom in another?
IDK why but comiing up with box idea is fun lol

**AduroT**

Hulk has generally gotten bigger over the years and is bigger than Thing anymore.

Black Dwarf/Cull Obsidian is bigger than the Hulk and is still part of a duo, so that isn't a compulsory thing. I can see him being packaged with either Johnny or Sue and then Reed being packaged with the other and being sculpted to be a bit stretched out and so a larger model.

Yeah, he’s been largely on the up and up lately I believe. I wonder if this’ll be the current incarnation of Gwen where she’s also her universe’s Venom or if it’ll be when she had her own powers. I assume old version, since that’s what was in the movie and shows.

Sculpt is the original white/pink hoodie outfit. Definitely not the symbiote version.

Miles is the leader? Weird

That's sort of the niche Miles has carved for himself. Largely because of the movie, but also because MIles's inherent "from an alternative universe" bit (along with Gwen) makes their stories more centered on multiverse teamups while Peter ends up with more of the classic solo street hero stuff.

Yeah, that’s what it normally looks like still. It only turns black when she gets super pissed or loses control.

If it's Gwenom in this box I'll buy you a copy of the expansion myself.

Gwen preview..

Ghost-Spider has a fast and aggressive approach to battle. Her movement speed is Long, letting her dash across the battlefield in a hurry. When she reaches her target, she has a whole list of options for beating them senseless.

Miles Park LEGAL.jpg
Gwen Stacy has three attacks, all of which dish out Physical damage. She can use Impact Webbing to shoot out a compacted ball of webbing that strikes like a riot-control shotgun. This Range 4 attack is Strength 4, and if her target is Size 2 or smaller, she can push them Short Range away with the force of the impact.

Spider Technique is perhaps the most exciting attack in her arsenal, however. This Range 2 Physical attack doesn’t cost her any power to use, and why would it? It’s only Strength 4…

… but there’s more. If Ghost-Spider already hit her target during the activation this turn, she adds three bonus dice to the attack, making it a Strength 7 attack that costs no power to use. Spider Technique has even more going on, though. If Ghost-Spider advanced or was placed during her activation before the attack, once Spider Technique is resolved, she can make a free Long advance.

Of course, Ghost-Spider is more complex than just dishing out spider-themed beatdowns. Her Webline superpower lets her target an enemy within Range 4 with a lasso of webbing, pushing them Short distance toward her. She can use a similar power, Life Saver, to protect her allies. This reactive superpower lets her target an allied character within the same range who is targeted by an enemy attack. She then yanks her ally Short Distance toward her, potentially pulling them out of range or line of sight of the attack!

**AduroT**

Ok, just to bring it back to a slightly earlier discussion, if they’re calling her Ghost-Spider, then she’s also Gwenom, as she didn’t pick up the Ghost-Spider name till some time after she got her version of the Symbiote.

It's also just her brand name mandated by Marvel now. I'd not read into it too much.

**Turnip Jedi**

Gwen sounds exactly like the tilt inducing bag of trixy goodness that are common to factions I play in other games shes totally on the things to get list

**Azreal13**

Miles preview has dropped also..

Wearing the mantle of Spider-Man is no small feat. Fortunately, Miles Morales has the rules to back up his identity.

Morales has a decent set of Stamina, Movement, and Defenses. But this little spider has a few tricks up his sleeve.

First up are his attacks. His standard physical attack, Webline Kick, is a useful way to soften up a target and send them flying away, but the Venom Blast attack is extraordinary. Spider-Man produces a jolt of bioelectric energy that he unleashes toward his foe. A Range 2 Energy attack, Venom Blast costs Morales 3 Power to use. You’ll be happy to spend it, though, to dish out a Strength 7 energy attack that also forces the target to drop any objective tokens they might be carrying.

This Spider-Man’s suite of superpowers also gives him some tactical versatility. Web Swing and Wall Crawler let him be incredibly mobile on the battlefield, clambering up the sides of buildings and swinging himself into position. Web Swing is a great way to set up a Webline Kick, too, since it grants two additional dice on the attack roll.

One of the unique powers Miles Morales gained from his spider bite was the ability to vanish from sight. This defensive ability allows him to sneak unnoticed by his enemies to rescue endangered civilians or wreak havoc on their evil plans. In-game, this is represented by Spider-Man having the Stealth ability, forcing your opponent to get close if they want to target Spider-Man with an attack.

The last of Morales’ superpowers we want to showcase is Great Responsibility. It is a central belief of those who call themselves Spider-Man: great power must be matched with great responsibility. This Leadership ability affects the new Web Warriors affiliation and allows them to reroll one defense die. Additionally, if a Web Warrior is holding or contesting an objective token, they can reroll and modify failure results. The Web Warriors cannot allow themselves to fail when the fate of others is on the line.

Or on the web line.

Sorry. That was terrible. Regardless, that’s all for our first look at Miles Morales, the Spider-Man of another world. Be sure to check back for our next installment, where we shine a spotlight on another character for Marvel: Crisis Protocol.

Miles being the leader can make some Thematic Sense. Peter was never much of a leader, being wholly incapable of even living a decent life in some cases. But he was something to Aspire too, Not this Paragon of virtue like Captain america, but this guy who is just.....Trying.
And i see Miles being the leader because he is aspiring to be like spiderman, and trying to convince others to aswell.
Just an IDea.

Eh...

I don't see it as so much that. There's basically two generations of spider-heroes. There's Peter (and his clones...), and then there's everyone else (or, at least, everyone else who isn't another version of Peter Parker). While there have been multiple Spider-Women who were part of Peter's generation, they haven't really had much in common with Spider-Man aside from the name.

Of the rising generation, Miles is the focus. Peter's his mentor. But Miles is the focus of the new generation. And since the Venom Symbiote is part of the Web Warriors group, and the symbiote has some rather... conflicted... feelings about Peter Parker, well...

Yeah. I don't think it's going to be getting instructions from Peter Parker any time soon.

Now Silk (who apparently isn't showing up yet) is technically part of Peter's generation age-wise. But she's still a new hero, like those in the rising generation.

Would love to see the Parker family from the post-Renew Your Vows series added to the line-up.

Squee.

**Vector Strike**

And, with that announcement, my wallet performed its swan song.

**AduroT**

....meh.

I’m sorry, maybe I’m seeing something other than others. The circle with an X in it reads as X-men to me

. Maybe we will have mutants soon.

Yes, it absolutely means that, that is exactly what it means. What makes you think we're not seeing it?

Sorry, everyone was talking Spider-Man stuff before that was posted. Sorry.

**Azreal13**

Ah, right, yeah, things tend to move pretty fast but sporadically when it comes to MCP news. We know what's coming into the next year, so we essentially get either spoilers for stuff that's expected, like the Spider stuff (which technically is delayed launch stuff) or teasers for what's next (like X.)

Doesn't seem much rhyme or reason as to when and how it appears though, so employ your Spidey sense.

**Alpharius**

The X-Men finally making an appearance?!?

Nice!

**hotsauceman1**

Well, diving into the Xmen means that, even with 2 model boxe sets, they have enough to go till.............2039? 2050?
Quite a bit.
