Somewhat of a new leadership for Web Warriors is a pretty big deal and it's a weird but potentially strong effect and it isn't really a leadership either. Which means it isn't tied to any one character and could also be used after your initial leader has been KOed (if that makes sense to do is a different question).
The place helps the already incredible mobility of Web Warriors even more and there's real potential there as it also includes being even freer in your affiliated squad building. And that's the limiting factor here as it is for affiliated models only. With the already big amount of affiliated characters increasing by no less than 5 characters with this and the other pack that isn't that big of an issue however.

The first character we look at isn't a Web Warrior though:
First surprise for me is that it is Arron Davis after all when it previously sounded that it was supposed to be Hobie Brown. Arron Davis does however fullfil the important role of being the first Miles Morales villain. And of boy his card is pretty good!
Long move, Stealth and Wallcrawler is a fantastic block of passive stats to start. Pierce on his Builder, no rerolls allowed on his (Energy) Range 4 Gainer and an automatic advance and a wild size 3 throw on his Spender make all three of his attacks very good and he adds Charge (with Long Move remember?) on top of this. The You're Right I Can Do Better active superpower is useful on top.
And if that wasn't enough he also gets a power back if he interacts with an objective token.
His biggest downside is having no defensive abilities aside from Stealth.
A-.
Prowler is a Spider-Foes and Criminal Syndicate member and will be a good damage dealing choice in both of them. I don't see any of the leaderships having a direct impact on his kit but basically all of them are good for him. Doc Ock likes him a lot for his Pay to Flip game, Kingpin for his mobility, Goblin and SLDD for his damage output and MODOK 2 likes Pierce characters a lot while also making Prowler a bit more defensive.
What is better than Long Move, Stealth and Wallcrawler? If you can add a Web Swing to that, too! Miles 2 is incredibly fast on the board and also adds a reactive S advance with a counter attack to that for even more mobility (and potentially damage output).
Ultimate Spider-Sense coupled with his 4/4/3 defenses make him really hard to take down, too.
And all three of his attacks are strong though more leaning towards damage and conditions rather than displacement and extract control.
Ultimate Miles seems like a good character but one that will ultimately have the same struggle as Baron Helmut Zemo: competing with their own 3 threat version which is one of the best characters in the game period.
He might find some spots to be a splash though. His tankiness and counter attack make him an interesting option for Legion of the Lost for example.

Brief Reprive is a phenomenal card. Potential Healing for every character in your squad is huge and it costs little to effective 0 so the only real question is if you can fit it in your 5.

Spider-Men is a bit of a disappointment as I was kind of expecting it to allow multiple Peter Parkers in the squad.
Miles or Peter placing the other one and then having them attack is good anyway. Probably best in the Spectacular Spider-Man plus Ultimate Miles combination where Peter brings in Miles for the punch. And Hobgoblin features very prominently on the card. Maybe a sign for the future?
B.
High Tech Heist is going to be stapled to Prowler. Its a card that guarantees VP. What more could you ask for?
A.
Great Power is kind of No Matter the Cost with the potential for additional dice for 2099 and makes his great spender even greater. Not really sure it's worth the card slot though. But of course he is able to just gain the HP he spend back with one Builder (wild trigger needed) and his Healing Factor.

That's it for today.
