I like the unique-ness of this ally design, but I think it is the one of the worst Web-Warriors. If you removed the Forced Response, this would be about average based on cost and stats alone. So is the response ability a net positive or net negative? On the one hand, you could activate this guy forever taking no consequential damage; or, you use him once and he dies immediately. Obviously any ability that lets you peek at the top of the encounter deck like Falcon, Heimdall, Global Logistics, or Spider-Woman's hero ability lets you know whether or not you are safe to activate Ham. But with so many good allies already in the game, I would rather play somebody more reliable. Even among the Web-Warriors, there are 5-ish basic ones I would rather play. I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for playing this card for fun, but I think decks that are trying to be powerful and consistent will have many better ally options.
