Spider-Man Variants

[reddecker]

I was going through the variants and noticed something. I believe the strength on Cosmic spider man is incorrect. While he was cosmic... i.e. the Enigma force made him into Captain universe he was strong enough to put the hulk into orbit. While yes it was the Joe Fixit version of the hulk, but still, that's gotta be higher then 5.

I don't have the stats in front of me at the moment, but I thought he had Power Cosmic or Uni-Power which he could use to increase his strength.

does the power cosmic allow you to make it what ever you want or just rearrange them how you want them. I did notice that he does have the power cosmic but I wasn't sure if that was Spidey or just S/Surfer

That's a difficult question, because Spidey's is written dirrerently than the Surfer's.

However, I'd say the Surfer's lets him re-arrange his stats but he cannon boost them unless he uses Power Cosmic as an action that allows him to do so (for example, using Manipulate Body Density to increase his Strength.) Technically, I suppose he could do Metamorphosis to boost just about anything he could want, but the book is quite hazy about just how Power Cosmic works. It should have a half-page description at least.

At a guess, I'd say they both work exactly the same, but are written differently. It's difficult to understand, but Power Cosmic should be. That's why they call it Cosmic.

This is the way I understood it as well... although I did not write this character up.
