Adaptation Notes:
- HERO has more characteristics than BASH has Stats and converting between them can be tricky; the results often don’t match. You can generalize or fiddle around with various modifiers. Being the obsessive nut I am, I went for the latter.
-Powerful Enemy is from BASH Sci Fi
-Trusting is from BASH Fantasy: Legion of Steel
-Energy Efficient is from ADEL File
-I have no idea if SuperEquipment can be assigned Advantages but I found no other way to simulate Widget's

Great builds for the Champions team. I remember feeling drunk with the character possibilities when I first got my copy of the Champions rpg (though not sure if it was 3rd or 4th edition now). There were so many power possibilities! I'm glad that BASH can offer nearly the same variability for a fraction of the point cost.

And a minimum of fuss.

This looks cool but there is an issue-- the updated Martial Arts mastery gives you 2 Martial Arts per point invested-- so these 4 martial arts would only be 2 character points.

SPIDER-MAN
(Peter Parker)
Brawn 3 (6 pts)
Agility 3 (6 pts)
Mind 2 (4 pts)
Hits 100
Powers
Clinging 1 (1 pt)
Conjuring 2 (items spun out of webbing) /Same Source: Immobilization, -1\ (1 pt)
Danger Sense 3 (3 pts)
Immobilization 4 [Close Range +1, Variable +2] /Burn-Out -1\ (6 pts)
Martial Arts Mastery 1 (Tricky and Cunning styles) (1 pt)
Swinging 1pt /Same Source: Immobilization\ (1 pt)
Sense X (Spider-Tracers) (1 pt)
Mental Malfunction
With Great Power, comes Great Responsibility.
Advantages
Contacts- Daredevil, Human Torch, Daily Bugle (as Peter Parker)
Disadvantages
In a Relationship (Mary Jane Watson)
Rogue’s Gallery (Sinister Six)
Unskilled
Ward (Aunt May)
Skills
Science/Chemistry
Technology/Invent
Equipment
Spider-Signal (Flashlight built into belt, 0 pts)
Breakdown: Stats 17 + Powers 14 = 31 points
Hero Points: +3 from Disadvantages

Notes:
-I decided that the main Webshooting Power is Immobilization, because it's usually after using it that Spidey runs out of webbing. He rarely runs out while Swinging around and spinning objects is used more rarely.
-I decided not to give his Powers the Gadget Limitation since his webshooters cannot usually be stolen or damaged while he's wearing them.
-Peter is hardly Unskilled, but since I ended up with 2 skills and his Agility gives him 3 more in BASH (and no, he doesn't have Acrobatics or such; I'm basing that on a story where his powers were nullified mid-swing and he could barely hang on to a flagpole) I had to reduce the number somehow.
-I considered giving Spider-Man the On The Run and Destitute Disadvantages, but those haven't really applied for a long time. (And no, I'm not making him a rich spy like he is right now- that's just a temporary storyline.)
-I used the "excess Disadvantages provide Hero Points" optional rule to allow for his many Disads.
-I gave him Science and Tecnology to explain his webshooters and other occasional gadgets, but in general he's not a Gadgeteer.

Spider Man would more than likely have Social Stigma reflecting the bad rep he gets from J. Jonah Jameson.

Thanks BASHMAN I corrected Seeker.

Spider-Man once had both a bad Rep and was even On The Run, but the public is now fully aware that he's a Hero. Even JJJ admitted it.

Posted: **Sat Dec 07, 2019 11:20 pm**

Yeah, that is when he was believed to have murdered Norman Osborne.
