Spider-Man
Spider-Man
Alias:
Peter Parker, Ben Reilly
Appearance:
Age: 27
Height: 5'10
Weight: 180
Eyes: Brown
Personality:
He is a normal guy. Gets pissed off when he's screwed with, is happy when he gets to kiss his wife, likes to see his daughter do well, and can be a cocky bastard when he has to fight someone. He has paid his dues in the superhero community, and likes that some other newer heroes look up to him, but when it comes to that adoration, he would much rather be modest and tell these heroes to go to someone who really deserves that adoration...like Captain America.
Fighting Style:
Pro-Wrestling, with a bit of Martial Arts thrown in over the years, but mostly Jujutsu. He's quick, he's agile, and he'll knock the crap out of you if you give him half a chance.
Powers/Abilities/Skills:
Super-Strength: Spider-Man has the "proportionate strength of a spider," meaning that since a spider can easily lift 100 times its own mass. Spider-Man can lift things like, say, a city bus over his head without breaking a sweat.
Super-Dexterity: Spider-Man has the "proportionate speed and agility of a spider," meaning that he can move REALLY fast, and can get into all kinds of positions and what not while moving and in the air. He's not like, oh say, the Flash, who can move faster than light at times, but he is fast enough to where normal human reflexes cannot keep up with him.
Super-Stamina: We don't quite know if this is one of his powers, or a side effect of him swinging all this time over the years, but Spider-Man has GREAT endurance! He can get the stuffing beat out of him and still go on!
Spider-Sense: Well, that's what he calls it anyway. Technically, spiders are very tuned into their surroundings on a subliminal level, detecting minute currents of air, etc., and can usually avoid most attacks by sensing them and moving as they are actually being performed. Now as you can see, this is not always enough to prevent the spider from getting squashed, and Spider-Man is no exception. Spider-Man, like a spider, is tuned into his surroundings on a subliminal level, and when something threatens him he senses this and moves to the "safe zone" that the spider-sense tells him to go to. This also allows to discern if say something is illusory, or an actual threat, etc.
Telekinetic Adhesion: Not a whole lot is known about this, but spiders can walk on walls by the minute hairs on their legs grabbing at the surface and allowing purchase. Spider-Man does not have hairs on his fingers and toes to allow this, so how does he stick??? Reek Richards of the Fantastic Four theorizes that it is some form of Telekinetic adhesion that was activated when Spider-Man gained his powers. This adhesion is only as strong as Spider-Man wills it, sometimes just enough to keep him on the wall, or sometimes enough to anchor him so he cannot be pulled off a wall...unfortunately the wall gives way before the power, but you get the point.
Slow Regeneration: When Spider-Man is at rest taking care of himself, he heals twice as fast as a normal person. I know it won't be very usable in fights, but I figure I'll throw it in.
Hardened Skin: Spiders do not have bones, they have an exoskeleton, which houses all their bodily fluids and such, which is surprisingly resistant to harm. Spider-Man is no exception; his skin has hardened to the point of light body armor over the years (probably helping that whole stamina thing) and is probably the thing that lets him do all those strength feats without his arms popping out of their sockets. Nurses beware! You'll barely be able to get a needle in this guy.
Olympic level metabolism: Just like it says, this keeps him safe from getting sick most of the time, and makes him resistant to a lot of toxins...but he REALLY hates the smell of Raid, even though it doesn't do anything to him. Go figure...
Irradiated Blood: The thing that made Peter Parker into Spider-Man was a genetically altered spider that had been accidentally irradiated by gamma rays. All this really does is make him more resistant to radiation.
Weapons/Equipment:
New and Improved Wrist and Leg Gauntlets! These replaced his web shooters once Spider-Man and Tony Stark got together drinking one night. These have all the capabilities of his former web shooters, and then some! (Tony thought Spider-Man needed a little more "Oomph!") Here's a list of their abilities!
Neural Link: Tony implanted a neural transmitter in Spidey's head, (oh yeah...he was REALLY drunk for this one), which allows him to use his gauntlets just by thinking! Modern miracles through high technology brought to you from Stark Enterprises. (Tony made him put this in the profile...shameless isn't he...?)
Web-Fluid Shooter: Shoots a condensed macro-molecular adhesive that can stick to most surfaces, and becomes semi-hard once in air. The liquidy end is super-sticky, but the sides dry to a relatively tackiness. It is good for swinging, tying up criminals, and hiding your clothes in when fighting evil. Since his youth, Spider-Man has worked on his webbing formula, and has FINALLY worked adamantium into the formula! (okay so it took him twenty years, big deal) The webbing is SUPER-STRONG (adamantium being the strongest known substance on earth...at least in his world) yet flexible when not completely hardened. (Kind of like a bungie cord.) Spidey can shoot several different types of shots with this unique liquid. He can make a large splat of it, which is good for holding enemies to walls. He can make a web-line to swing on. He can also shoot some out and mold it into objects before it hardens, such as a shield, or baseball bat, etc. Each forearm gauntlet holds 9, 1-inch by 7-inc!
h web-fluid holders, that cycle so as to keep the pressure up enough to shoot the web-fluid, and to make sure he doesn't run out any time soon. (Yeah, yeah...we know Tony...it was YOUR idea...sheesh!)
Impact webbing: These are shot out the top of the Gauntlets for added accuracy, and come out as small (paintball sized) marbles that explode on impact, releasing thousands of multi-tendrils of webbing to instantly "wrap-up" the stickiest of situations. (Oooooo.... that was a bad pun...)
Stinger-Beam: One of the improvements made by Tony Stark is the Stinger-Beam. Much like Spider-Man's stinger darts, this beam causes an electrical jolt in the enemies; nervous system that usually results in uncontrollable spasms and unconsciousness. Powered by a miniaturized nuclear power source, it still can run out of power...well, not for about 50 years though... (Whoever heard of Spider-Man with blasters??? Look at the Spider-Phoenix issue to find out more!)
Booster Jets: In the Leg Gauntlets there are booster jets designed to make sure Spider-Man doesn't become a Spider-Splat in case he is in an area that doesn't have as many tall buildings. Once again powered by mini-nuclear power supplies, it fires in bursts to slow descents, or can be fired to change direction while in the air, or just to give him a boost on one of his already stupendous jumps.
("Mommy...whats that big stain over there?"
"Oh thats just Spider-Man."
"He musta been pretty stupid."
"Yes dear."
It was this dream that made him accept Tony's idea to put on the booster jets.)
18 Extra web-fluid cartridges are also carried in the leg gauntlets as well. (More goo for the buck!)
Shield Generators: The forearm gauntlets can generate a 1-foot radius round energy shield that in conjunction with his amazing agility can intercept incoming projectiles that he is unable to get out of the way of. These have actually been able to deflect even magical attacks from time to time. (WOW...Wonder Woman would be envious of these!)
History/Life Story:
Well, now this is a toughie. The reason its tough is because its so long. If any of you have ever read any of the comic books that have something to do with Spider-Man, then you know that he was bitten by a genetically altered spider that had been irradiated by gamma rays. Okak;seems a bit theatrical, but one cant pick how one gets ones super powers now can one? (Right Tony;you chose yours;after you got a piece of shrapnel stuck in your chest and had to wear that chest plate all these years! Dork!) Anyway, we know all that, but this particular Spider-Man has a bit of a different story. You see, he comes from an alternate Earth.
On YOUR Earth there was a big problem with clones for a time, and even a time in which Peter Parker gave up the webs to one of the clones going by the name of Ben Reilly because Peter's powers had gone on the fritz. At that time Peter Parker (through the manipulations of bad guys, of course!) had thought he was the clone, and that Ben was the real deal. Turns out on this world that this was incorrect, and Ben ended up as a stinky pile o' goo, and once again Peter Parker is the only Spider-Man.
However, on the alternate Earth, that's not the way it happened. Turns out in the battle with the Lizard that Peter Parker WAS the clone, and it was HIM that ended up as the goo. Now, what's Ben supposed to do? Turns out he's the real Spider-Man, but the man that he had come to see as a brother (mind you an exact genetic duplicate brother, but a brother nonetheless) is dead, and his last wish was that you take his place as Peter Parker. Peter Parker, husband to Mary Jane, soon to be father to a daughter that would be named May, and the real Spider-Man. So, he promised Peter, and became the best husband, father, and superhero that he could be. Until a run in with fate (more like a pumpkin bomb) caused him to be crippled and Spider-Man disappeared.
He was still the best at what he had left, and the years went by a lot more peacefully for them all. May grew up to be the star basketball player on her high school team before her Spider-Powers manifested, and that was when Ben/Peter and Mary Jane had to tell her the truth. She then became Spider-Girl and took over the family business so to speak. Then one day the Green Goblin returns! Only this one is Normie Osborn, the third generation of Green Goblin, and out to kill Spider-Girl! Peter had only one choice - he would have to put on the webs again. But how? He was paralyzed from the thighs down! What could he do?!
That was when he called in a favor from Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, and had an experimental procedure done that repaired his damaged nervous system, and put a neural link into his head linking his new “Spider-Gauntlets” to his mind! Spider-Man was back, and it was time to kick some butt! In the battle to come, Green Goblin took the fight into a lab for the new company Alchemax, and Spider-Man was thrown through a virtual unreality; portal;and ended up on the UFF Island. And that, my friends, is that.
