Iv started playing around with a spider-friends deck and have come across a few questions.
Im wondering when the game checks for uniqueness, IE when to play scarlet spider to keep multiple spidermans in play at once.
Im also wondering when a card refers to a character, IE cosmic spidermans text, it only effects Spiderman:cosmic spiderman, not otherones, unless otherwise said, correct?
i dont think i worded that as well as i wanted to, i mean say its turn 5, i already have the 3 drop spiderman out, i reveal scarlet spider and recruit the 5 drop.
when is the next time i need to reveal scarlet spider, to not have to ko one of the spidermen in play
Uniqueness is only checked on recruitment. At no other time except when you recruit a character is uniqueness checked. So as long as you reveal scarlet at that time it's okay.
to elaborate. it will never check during combat, recovery, draw, not even during future build phases. Only when you recruit another character with the same name will it check.
Since you're asking about uniqueness, it may help to actual see the Uniqueness Rule in front of you, as it's actually fairly explicit.

705.1 As part of resolving a recruitment effect for a card with the unique characteristic, its controller-to-be must check the names of all objects he or she controls that are already in play. He or she puts all of those with the same name as that unique recruited card into his or her KO’d pile. This is not the same as KO'ing those objects.
Spider-Man's uniqueness only matters when recruiting a character named Spider-Man.
If you play Spiderman, then reveal Scarlet Spider after you play Spiderman, before passing priority, then you will not have to KO your existing Spidermen. Only if you allow another Spiderman to come into play while it is unique will all your other Spidermen be put into the KO'ed pile. Read the rule as posted above.
