I remember very well when my parents took me to see that movie at the drive-in theater. I've never slept through a movie in the theater... with the exception of this one. It was so bad. How could you not love Eric Bana auditioning for the role of Guy With No Screen Presence? I'm falling asleep just thinking about his scenes in that movie. If you thought the ending fight was hard to see on a TV screen, imagine a freakin' drive-in screen. Yeah, I still don't really know how that movie ended. |

Hulk fought an energy storm that talked like Nick Nolte. What else do you need to know? |

I'm guessing he's relying on someone at Stark Industries to make and maintain the Ironman suits...

Is it sad that because his Webshooters are so damn expensive, that I can't put them on Spider-Man's sheet? Even with not enhancing him to his current power levels, he's got too little stones to put 25 stones onto his CAD in one item... Hell, the way he's built he couldn't have even invented them...

You could borrow from the Sam Raimi version where Spidey has natural webbing and just make it some kind of psi-weapon variant? I suppose it also depends on how hard and fast we're sticking to the mechanical RAW?

I'm no apologist for the way the CADs in the books are made, but I believe that his webshooters are a pretty clear example of a "one time thing" that was created by character generation fiat. Spider-Man rarely invents anything at all in the comics, and when he does, its nothing on the order of 6 stone weapons. He's Peter Parker, not Reed Richards. |

The only proper way to represent that is the Entangle action in the House Rules Assemble book, and that's pretty hefty when you figure Spidey would have every option they list... Which, for some dumb reason I cannot understand, makes it a +7CL power... Besides... organic webbing is kinda... hell I don't know how to say my disdain nicely, so I'll just end this post now. |

Taking him from the book (Which I started with), and adding in additions for factual upgrades he's gotten to his powers and abilities, he comes out to 77 stones before flaws without the Webshooters... Unless we're supposed to be making these guys at the start of their careers, in which case I'm really horribly off, and can EASILY do 25 stones. |

I don't think you need all of that. Spider-Man rarely uses his webbing to create barriers, etc, and the game already had a simple mechanic to handle "entangling" attacks known as "stun damage." The reason "entangling" is so costly is because it has to be; in theory a character armed with that action can easily keep any opponent who isn't super-strong pinned for an entire fight with relatively minimal effort. Stun damage is a better representation of what actually happens in fights when Spidey uses webbing against any opponent who actually has a name; its annoying but they pretty quickly get out and continue the fight. The loss of stones from the energy pool shouldn't be looked at as JUST being hit with a tranquilizer dart or shot with electricity. It does a great job of representing just about anything that requires effort to overcome because, after all, what are energy stones but potential effort? |

The Spider-Man I remember uses them to create web shields all the time... Did he change in the last 15 years to not doing that anymore? Either way, I could do something with Stun Damage or modified Fear effect... That might be a better option than the Entangle anyway. |

First of all, the term "all the time" is a bit of an overstatement, don't you think? I would wager he's done it less than 100 times in his 50+ years of comics. Second of all, "I use RC + Web Shooters and shift the stones to defense" Voila! Web Shield! |
