I've had Ant-Man has a favourite hero for a while now and I didn't really see what Spectrum offered that Ant-Man didn't, if flipping forms for attacking and thwarting was your sort of thing. I hadn't immediately realised that Spectrum can't change energy forms at will and that's what makes her unique. Uniquely frustrating sometimes, but uniquely powerful the rest of the time.

And I now know what Spectrum offers that Ant-Man doesn't: excitement.

Where Ant-Man can be quite plodding, grinding out wins with his Army of Ants as ultra-efficient control and damage dealers, Spectrum flies by the seat of her pants and speeds through her deck as quickly as possible to keep the form changes coming. Most of the time she can get through probably double the work that Ant-Man could do in a single turn and the only thing really holding her back from being a completely ridiculously overpowered hero is those occasional turns where she's trapped in the wrong form for what you need to do right now and you don't have the card you need to switch her energy form.

That makes moving quickly through a small deck very important for Spectrum. There's plenty of Upgrades to stick into play which both give you more firepower on a single turn but help shrink your deck by 25% so you can see more of the form-changing Events, and lots of draw effects. Use your first pass through the deck to develop your board position, then on your second pass you're going to an incredibly effective thwarting and attacking machine who can take the villain down.

It took me a couple of games to tune into Spectrum properly and see past those few frustrating turns. I'd say right now she's up there are one of my favourite heroes, ticking the box of what I liked in Ant-Man's form-shifting abilities but adding much more speed and excitement to the ride. I'm excited to keep her going with the new Nebula cards and see how much faster and more reliable One Way Or Another makes her - draw 3 cards for 0 cost? Get a side scheme I can thwart to trigger Turn The Tide and Skilled Investigator? All sounds great to me!
