Technically the discussion of this thread is Your MOST Accurate Heroclix Piece.
Uhm, thanks, I'm sure that helps us all out a lot.

You mean, on your list of most accurate?

If you don't read the source material then why argue what is accurate or not accurate. That would be like me telling someone how to disassemble and reassemble a carburetor. It just won't work.

Is that a question?

You don't seem to understand, I'm trying to NOT argue about accurate. Because arguing about COMIC accurate is like arguing about physics in the Star Wars Universe, to me it's completely pointless. Hell, I think "Comic Accurate" is a complete oxymoron. When a "universe" isn't even internally-consistent I see no reason to bother with trying to make consistency out of of it.
That said, Spider-Man is a popular enough character that even one who doesn't read comics generally has an understanding of him. In fact, I would say that one reaches out for specific examples from a comic that one is showing a mistaken belief in the consistency of the Universe (in this case Marvel) that allows them to apply it to broader range. Just because he once knocked out a T-Rex with a single punch, or healed from complete Blindness in a few days does not, imo, mean that is the NORM for the character.
You may think that a 120pt Spider-Man should have Exploit Weakness, Outwit, Perplex, a trait of Super-Senses on 4-6, ignore Stealth, 19D, an attack that peaks at 12, Charge, Leap Climb and Running Shot on most every click as well as some Defend and Quake, oh and Ten Keywords. To me, that's laughable.
To sum up "Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion, Man." I'm not going to argue about my OPINION about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER as portrayed in a Miniature GAME.

Yet here you are arguing about it.

Yet again you're understanding is incorrect.

What's laughable is you don't follow up on the source material yet you look to correct those that do.
I'll give you that things in comics do change, though most characters do try to stay within their own set guide lines.
I could reference decades of comics to support my side of this. Just as many other Realmsers can do the same thing for the characters they read.
When it comes to a character like Lobo I know he's strong, he's hard to hurt and he can regenerate. That's my basic knowledge of the character which is similar of yours for Spider-Man. Were I to say he should have 7 clicks of life with Super Strenght, Invun and a single click of Regen I may consider him accurate, but many of his fans would start on how he should have so much more. They would be more knowledgeable and I would concede that fact and follow their points on the character. I wouldn't keep arguing, "I know nothing about the character other than what I saw on the Superman Animated cartoon. Yet I know this to be the best representation out there!" Which is exactly what you are doing in this thread in regards to Spider-Man.
That's fine that you like the WoS versions. Though as you've admitted that you don't know the character you really have no ground to state those versions are the most accurate.

Can we actually keep this thread positive instead of just negatively auditing other peoples' opinions and/or starting ANOTHER complaint thread about the WoS set? It's been YEARS, you guys.
I think my current favorite is ih204 She-Hulk. She's a pretty standard brick, but she plays exactly how she ought to. I also love ih025 Rick Jones and all the different folks he AEs into.
Oh man, we got a Negative Man and a Jimmy Olsen? Now I need to think of a new signature after all these years!
If you don't read the source material then why argue what is accurate or not accurate. That would be like me telling someone how to disassemble and reassemble a carburetor. It just won't work.
This! If you don't read comics, then I can appreciate one playing the game due to strategy.....but that's it. Your points are invalid because you simply don't know...much.
Enjoy the Chess with SuperPowers.
As for accurate: I thought that SR Quasar was pretty darn close.
Con Artist... Cheap, Dirty, A bit Perplexing, And goes down to a backhand just like a hooker should. Most Accurate piece to date.
I'd mention the 2nd most comic accurate piece, But ppl would shun me and blame that piece for how other ppl play him. And we had enough of that for the last 2 and 1/2 years.

New 52 Superman-204 and E2 Superman-317. Yes I'm biased check my avatar.
Ok, I haven't read up much on the new 52. Though I did just start reading the new 52 Justice League when they all meet. The New Superman so far seems to use HSS at the start of the fight. Like he did against Batman & Green Lantern. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this as I'm not caught up yet.
I've argued for years that Superman shouldn't start with HSS and then when his character is rebooted and he actually does fight that way it seems we get a Superman starting with Charge instead.

And he's never, ever exploited someone's weakness by webbing them blind or covering up their weapons.
That's Incapacitate, not Exploit Weakness.
God is smarter than we are....
Visit Heroclixin'! Or check out my trade thread. Molly Hayes' KO list: HoT Ultron, HoT Thor, SI Iron Man, AV Wonder Man, SI Sentry, LE Diana Prince, R IC Ultron, Pretty Boy, CW Kang, IIM Thunderball, TW Catwoman, OP Red Hulk.
It's either, really. Of course, if he webs up the throat to choke someone out (feel like I've seen that somewhere) then it is EW or Poison.
Not really the throat, but when fighting against Doc Ock 4 in Hollywood he dropped a buncg of Web Cartridges into the the armor of Doc Ock 4. These then expanded and destroyed the armor from the inside out. It was Exploiting that little weakness.

ummm.... Secret Invasion Dr Strange is pretty damn accurate.
Funny...I was thinking that throughout the history of Heroclix, Strange has been the best represented and has had the most useful versions (in a per capita sense) of any character ever.
