Instead of a normal move, Venom may use his Swing Line. Swing Line has a move of 4. When counting spaces for Venom's Swing Line movement, ignore elevations.

History[]
Venom was likely present at Tribeca Labs during the events of Mayhem in Manhattan, where many heroes and villains made an appearance. He would also attempt to pick a fight with Spider-Man at Tribeca Labs, unawares that other Avengers were going to be present. He had it out for Spider-Man ever since his host Eddie Brock merged with an alien symbiote.[1]
Additional Info[]
Unlike the Dungeons and Dragons subtheme, the Marvel crossover was not canonical, and the goal with compatibility with the rest of the Heroscape line was 'balanced but not recommended'.[2]
