Rationale
2cmc 2/2 flash legendary human with a modal ETB: tap a creature (Heckle) and/or untap a creature (Hero Worship). The flash body lets it act as a combat trick / surprise blocker, and the modal ETB offers minor tempo plays (tap an attacker or untap a blocker/mana dork), but the effects are too weak and narrow to define any archetype. Primarily a filler creature for early precon/bracket-1 tables and marginal human-typal filler.
Learnings (2)
The 'choose one or both' modal ETB can tap one creature while simultaneously untapping another — useful for exhausting a defender while freeing up a mana dork, but the net tempo gain remains small in any powered shell.

Flash Thompson's flash keyword gives it genuine surprise-blocker utility in white, which lacks flash creatures at 2cmc in Spider-Man themed limited environments, but this barely moves the needle in singleton 100-card formats.
