FIX #5: BAN HAMMER
The easiest thing to do with Spiral is to simply ban it. Banning is a very legitimate rule that is used in many collectible games (most notably Magic the Gathering). This would allow Spiral to keep her comic accurate trait, while preventing it from showing up at every convention (let's face it, most teams at official WK tournaments look pretty much the same because they're all power players looking for an advantage).
While there are some that resist the idea of a ban, consider this: local judges and venues are already allowed to ban, and most do! Local judges are given tremendous power at venues and bans are always used for the sheer sake of balance. I know of one venue that recently removed all their bans -- the power players stepped in and their weekly player base dropped by 50 percent!
(Vet Icon Superman with early Hypersonic Speed was a commonly banned figure back in my day)
Keep in mind that WK doesn't need to ban Spiral completely, but there's no reason why they couldn't (and shouldn't) ban her from Modern games. Banning this character is also appealing since it won't require a new errata and character card.
Make no mistake, banning is legitimate idea that used in many places... and for good reason.
