Character Spotlight: Spider-Ham
Today we welcome Peter Porker — the heroic spider-turned-pig known as Spider-Ham — To the world of MARVEL SNAP!
On Reveal: Transform the highest-cost card in your opponent’s hand into a Pig, keeping its Power and Cost.
Peter was a spider who originated on Earth-8311, in a universe comprised of anthropomorphic animals.
While the spider known simply as “Peter” began as nothing spectacular, residing in the basement lab of scientist May Porker, an experiment-gone-awry caused May to accidentally irradiate herself and bite Peter in a fit of delusion!
This bite from his anthropomorphic pig-scientist host then caused Peter to transform into an anthropomorphic swine himself! Peter quickly discovered that not only had he become a cartoonish pig, but also retained his spider abilities, and thus inherited May Porker’s last name and dedicated himself to fighting injustice as… Spider-Ham!
Spider-Ham’s abilities extend beyond just the Spider-Sense demonstrated by those more ordinary Spider-Heroes. Peter Porker also has an uncanny ability known as Spider-Nonsense — which enables his cartoonish spidey-pig nature to only become stronger in response to surrounding danger! The greater the threat, the more cartoon Spider-Ham becomes!
Spider-Ham’s Spider-Nonsense is demonstrated in MARVEL SNAP through his wacky On Reveal ability:
On Reveal: Transform the highest-cost card in your opponent’s hand into a Pig, keeping its Power and Cost.
Peter whips out a massive cartoon mallet from Hammer Space, right in the face of your opponent’s most expensive card — transforming it into a Pig with no abilities! That ability is no boar!
Spider-Ham is a great response to large end-game plays such as Doctor Doom, Galactus, Heimdall, Odin, and Death! You can play him on turn 1 for some quick disruption, or hold him until later in the game to surprise opponents by neutralizing their finisher.
Let’s all give the kooky Spider-Ham a warm welcome, as he hogs his share of the spotlight in the Spider-Versus season of MARVEL SNAP!!
