…and if he counted as Spider Gwen, wouldn’t he count for the Goal Women of Power?

A: This distinction is precisely why we worded the card the way we did!

So, these cards are a little tricky because there were two versions of Marvel Fluxx. Miles Morales only appeared in the extra 7 cards included with the Specialty Edition (along with the Spider-Verse goal). Since Miles IS Spiderman in some universes, it makes sense for him to count as Spiderman for any Goal that needs Spiderman, but we also wanted Miles to count as either of the Spider heroes on Web-Slingers, since that also makes sense. On the other hand, no, of course Miles doesn’t count as Spider-Gwen for Women of Power since he’s not a woman.

Since cards in the core game cannot reference specialty or expansion cards, the Web-Slingers Goal could not reference him, so the only way to make Miles also count for the Web-Slingers goal was to specifically say he also counts as a Web-Slinger, thereby counting for that Goal specifically, but not as Spider-Gwen generally.

It’s actually the same reason why The Computer promo card says “Counts as an Appliance” and not “Counts as The Toaster or The Television.”
