Agent Venom: Flash Thompson
# of dice recommended: 2 The common also has the global, but get this version if you can; it's really fun to use in a build with Human Torch: Johnny Storm.
Archnemesis!: Basic Action Card
Reprinted in The Mighty Thor and in DPS.
Betrayal: Basic Action Card
Reprinted in the Justice Campaign Box.
Black Widow: Stinger
# of dice recommended: 4
Carnage: Sinister
# of dice recommended: 2 to 3
Lizard: Scientist
# of dice recommended: 2 to 3 Whoever doubts this one, play with Parallax + Ant-Man and remember that he wasn't errata'd, contrarily to Vulture.
Mary Jane: MJ
# of dice recommended: 4 Arguably better version of this ability printed in DPS (see “Psylocke: Telepath”)
Silver Sable: Hero for Hire
# of dice recommended: 2 to 3
Slander: Basic Action Card
Spider-man: Tangled Web
# of dice recommended: 2 to 3
True Believer: Basic Action Card
Similar card later printed in The Mighty Thor as “Odin's Fury”.
Vulture: Adrian Toomes
# of dice recommended: 2 to 3 Please note that this one had an errata (the +4A triggers once per turn). He's still strong, but look up the errata before using.
White Tiger: Mystical Amulet
# of dice recommended: 1 Note: One of her other versions, "Razor Sharp", also has the global. I find this one slightly better overall.
