Damage is expressed as a multiplier to the Marvel die result on your Attack roll. This multiplier is usually equal to the character’s rank.

Example: Spider-Man is Rank 4, so his Damage multiplier is ×4.

Some Powers can affect a character’s Damage multiplier. These often only affect Damage done with a particular ability. Powers or other things that grant bonuses to Damage multipliers do not stack.

Example: Spider-Man’s Mighty 1 power adds +1 to his Melee Damage multiplier. That raises his Melee Damage multiplier from ×4 to ×5.

On top of this, add the ability score of the ability being used to the Damage.

Example: Spider-Man’s Melee score is 5. When he makes a Melee Attack, the Damage is dMarvel × 5 + 5. If he rolls 3 4 5 on the Attack, the total Damage is [4×5]+5=25.
