#8

Spider-Man

Reviewed in October (http://www.pojo.com/heroclix/COTD/2008/Oct/17.shtml), McSpidey ('cause he looks like a Happy Meal prize) makes the list because:

1. He's cheap.

Being 50 points cheap means he fits many a team.

2. Wildcard.

Also helps fit him on teams.

3. Leap/Climb all dial.

He's almost never pinned down, making him great at getting close to use...

4. ...Flurry.

More attacks is more attacks, especially...

5. ...with 3 damage.

Spidey can deal a LOT of hurt in a short time.

6. Pseudo-Incap.

His SP Flurry grants the option of dumping a token on the target instead during the 2nd hit, allowing him to possibly deal extra damage to Impervious foes or safely ping a Mystic again without fear.

7. Scientist keyword.

Again, this helps him fit a lot of good teams.

8. 6 range.

Though best in close, being able to damage from range only makes him better.

Goofy sculpt belies a solid, versatile dial. And again, at 50 points, he's just always going to be a solid pick for almost any team, even -- and perhaps especially -- in multiples. Beware the swarm of McSpideypoles! Being nearly 30 points and 10-20 points less than the #10 and #9 picks respectively wins the webhead slot #8.

Next on the list takes us off the buildings and skies and firmly on terra firma...
