Spider-Woman

Just at seven years of age, Jessica Drew had gotten uranium poisoning from her father’s genetic experiments on spiders. Jessica’s life was saved by her father who injected her with the experimental spider-derived serum while putting her in hibernation in a genetic accelerator. Jessica spent years inactive in her sleep though still getting a passive education listening through tapes. Upon awakening and fully recovered, she has grown only into her teens. She has gained new abilities including superhuman strength, agile speed, fast reflexes, and wall-crawling ability. Her body also emits bio-electricity which she could release from her hands. Moreover, she possesses a pheromone that can induce fear, attraction, and repulsion in others. Jessica was often alone and had issues with her powers, eventually putting these traits into use by joining an underground criminal organization. She was trained to be a proficient hitman by none other than the Taskmaster. Her mission was to take out S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury. This was deemed unsuccessful as she learned afterwards the true nature of her criminal organization thus eventually leaving her group. Jessica’s original memories were restored, and she adopted the name Spider-Woman, becoming one of Earth’s most important heroes. 

Spider-Woman joins the A-Force team as a Blaster with huge Damage and Speed. She also carries a good kit for damage reduction for her A-Force allies through her Passive ability, Pheromone Fighter. Her Pheromone skill is very useful in an Alliance War Offense battle as this will lower enemies’ accuracy who possess Offense Down when Spider-Woman is above 30% Health and has 3 or more A-Force allies. This accuracy ability can be a great advantage since Spider-Woman starts an Alliance War Offense match by applying Offense down when she has 3 or more A-Force allies. Her traits fall under Hero, City, Bio, Blaster, and A-Force.

Nico Minoru

Nico Minoru left her home because she found out that her parents were sacrificing an innocent girl while reciting an odd enchantment during a secretive group ritual that consisted of five other couples in a supposed charity event. This so-called charity event was held annually, and Nico and the other kids spied on their parents to see what the event was all about. Nico found out her parents were supervillains, dark sorcerers to be specific and discovered the truth about them which led to her running away from home. Her runaway efforts were futile as she was found out eventually later on by her parents. Nico’s mother attempted to murder Nico by stabbing her with her staff called the “The Staff of One”. However, the staff simply went through Nico and that was the time she found out that she herself was a sorcerer just like her parents. The Staff of One gave Nico her ability to cast spells verbally with the limitation of casting a given spell only once. After her parents are gone, and with her newfound abilities, Nico unsurprisingly becomes a superhero on her own terms. She combines forces with the A-Force team, Cloak and Dagger, the Young Avengers, the Avengers, the X-men, and Doctor Strange in her adventures. 

Nico as part of A-Force allies as a Controller features high Health and Speed. Her skills specialize in taking down some of the strongest War Defenses, as well as a Health and positive buffer for her A-Force teammates. Her skills specialize in applying a random positive effect when using any of her skills for the first time in battle. Her traits include being a Hero, Global, Mystic, Controller, and A-Force.
