Not the Dark Avenger you probably expecting:

#6

Noh-Varr (Web of Spider-Man, #038)

This one almost slipped under my radar. But he’s loaded with elements making him a lock for the list:

• Running Shot with Penetrating/Psychic Blast and Pulse Wave (SP “Transforming Gauntlet Gun”) with great stats;
• Invulnerability, helping the chances of even a strong hit landing him on…
• Hypersonic Speed and Super Strength. Good combo, that;
• late Perplex. That’s good, as his stats start to slip;
• two clicks of Regeneration that can land him on good clicks no matter what;
• EIGHT keywords, making him a good fit for a lot of themed teams;
• “Traitor To All,” his trait giving him an AV boost if he ignores his keywords, making him an even better fit on non-themed teams.

Weaknesses? Maybe a slight lack of early close-combat effectiveness and/or Flight. Yeah, who cares? Great light tentpole who leaves plenty of room for support or other solid fighters.
