Does anyone have the stats for Spiderman, Thing, Captain America and Captain Marvel that were published with "Day of the Octopus"?

I'm starting a play by post game and I'd love to use the "official" stats for this adventure.

Also, if you want to play, the game isbeing run on MySpace at [groups.myspace.com]

Thank you,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
On this site, classicmarvel.com, you'll see a navigation bar (toward the top). Under Other_Stuff, go to Downloads, then to Basic Game and Modules.
Webmaster Aunt Petunia has Day of The Octopus there for free to download.

P.S. Oh, and Mazel Tov on the baby!

Mark,

Thank you for responding. That is where I got the adventure, but was surprised to learn that none of the PDFs include the character cards that come with the basic set. Thus the hero's original character stats are not there. :-(

Thank you for the mazel tov. (I guess that means you visited the game site on Myspace and saw the photo of me and Selene.)

Couldn't find Spider-Man's stats, but in the basic rules, just use the ones on this site, only push his Intuition back up to Amazing level. His spider-sense is ranked at Amazing. If something happens which surprises the heroes, Spider-Man is allowed (before he rolls) to spend Karma to allow him to auto-react if he wants. Otherwise, he could just roll and hope he reacts in time. Like both Caps, Spider-Man's identity is secret, which makes it easier or harder for him in Campaign mode depending on situation. Peter Parker is a freelance photographer, which means his Resources is at Poor rank, if I remember.

As for stats I do have...

While Cap uses the shield to protect himself, he cannot attack. Even when he uses his shield, Cap is subject to Slams and Stuns.

Hrm, looks like the Concrete Jungle book and Secret Wars II book has his stats about the same as I remember them from the Day of the Octopus. I'll write them out in the same way.

SPIDER-MAN
Real Name: Peter Parker (Secret Identity)
Profession: Freelance Photographer

Fighting: REMARKABLE (30)
Agility: AMAZING (50)
Strength: INCREDIBLE (40)
Endurance: INCREDIBLE (40)
Reason: EXCELLENT (20)
Intuition: AMAZING (50)
Psyche: INCREDIBLE (40)
Health: 160
Karma: 110
Popularity: 30
Resources: POOR (not sure of numerical stat)

Powers and Weaponry
WALL CRAWLING. Spider-Man sticks to all normal surfaces automatically and can walk on walls and ceilings with Amazing agility at normal speed.
SPIDER SENSE. Parker's spider-sense warns him of potential danger. If placed in immediate danger, a successful Intuition FEAT roll will allow him to react in time to save himself (dodging a bullet for example). Failing the FEAT roll indicates that he did not react in time to avoid the danger. No Karma may be added to these rolls. Potential dangerous persons and situations also cause his spider-sense to react. Potential dangers are estimated in damage. An Unearthly danger will spark more of a reaction than a merely Good danger. The spider-sense is omni-directional and does not require any conscious will to operate. If deprived of his spider-sense, Spider-Man's Intuition drops to Good and his Agility to Incredible.
WEB-SHOOTERS. Spider-Man carries a web-shooter on each wrist, each firing Monstrous-strength webbing up to two areas away. The webbing has Incredible material Strength in the round it is fired, and hardens to Monstrous strength the round following. Spider-Man uses this webbing to restrain foes, to make swinglines (moving up to 3 areas per round in city areas), as missiles inflicting up to Excellent damage, and as Monstrous strength shields. The adhesive webbing lasts for an hour, then dissolves.
SPIDER TRACERS. Parker owns several small, spider-shaped homing devices, each cued in on a frequency detectable by his spider-sense. The range of the signal is about one mile.

Talents
Peter Parker has some science skills which don't add anything to his stats, so ignore
