What about Golden Age Games?

In golden age Games, "Feats" and "Battlefield Conditions" are allowed as part of team building. Two options I like for feats are Armor Piercing and Dissent. Use Armor Piercing on characters that have no way of hurting Cosmic Spidey. While Dissent allows the characters with Outwit to counter his Power Cosmic team ability leaving him vulnerable to pushing damage and... well… more Outwit.

Armor Piercing (feat): 10 points. Choose a character. Damage dealt by the character may not be reduced below 1.

Dissent (feat): 10 points. prerequisite: Outwit. Choose a character. When the character uses Outwit, it may choose to counter a team ability possessed by a singe target opposing character as if that team ability were a power, instead of countering a power.

The battlefield condition Disbanded is a nasty trick that will deny all players of their team abilities. However it will more than likely be worth it. Power Dampening Field is another possibility. If you remembered tip #2 this wont inconvenience your team as much as it will his.

Disbanded! (BFC): Ignore All Team Abilities

Power Dampening Field (BFC): Damage values higher than 3 become 3 instead.

In Heroclix the choices of strategy you employ are endless, that’s what makes this game so fun. Figuring out a strategy and having it pay off is its own reward. I hope this article helped get your wheels turning for the next time you are presented with the challenge or headache... because often times, Cosmic Spider-Man is both.
