No. 10
Spider Ma’am [What If? 033]
So Aunt May gets the spidey powers. Just 40 points, she has Incap-plus that keeps targets from moving. With two arrows, that’s not a bad SP. And she becomes a medic later, too.
BUT…
1 damage isn’t hot, forcing you to Incap. And despite her Sidestep, her 4 range might be too aggressively mediocre to truly help. Her Support is buried too deep to be useful. Retire this old lady, please
She’s tied in badness by this dude:
Mercenary (Deadpool & X-Force 006)
A generic with Running Shot, 10 AV Energy Explosion, Toughness and 3 damage seems like an OK buy for 35 points. That is, until you consider that his 4-click life isn’t too difficult to vanquish, activating his trait that has a 50% chance of turning him into part of the opponent’s force. That wouldn’t be so bad if that opponent didn’t ALSO score his 35 points.
This a soldier of fortune — BAD fortune.

No. 9
Iron Lad [What If? 006]
I wasn’t sure he belonged here. After all, he’s an improvement in every way over the original Iron Lad from 10 years ago. But The Baker Tay pointed out:
- His higher cost: 100 points is not cheap
- For only 10 AV and 3 damage
- His trait Mastermind also deals extra damage to his fodder.
There’s just better things to spend those points on. Soooo… do that
