Spider-Man
Alias: Peter Parker
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race/Species: Human
Occupation: Student, Photographer
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Alignment: Good
Type: Franchise
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 165 lbs
Personality: Introverted and highly thoughtful, Peter Parker is a complex individual. He has a problem with sharing his problems. He bottles everything up, which is bad but it has always worked for him. That is until things blow up in his face. Which happens all the time. His thought process does not change when he puts on the blue and red costume that he made years ago. His life goes on. That's the reason he keeps his life and emotions secret from everyone, be it someone he loves or someone he tolerates. There was one exception, but when she divorced him there were none. Getting over Mary Jane was the hardest thing he had ever done, but that's a story for another time. The one emotion that he did not know how to keep secret was his anger. He didn't have anger issues by any means, but when he got angry the only outlet he knew how to diffuse it was through violence against the person that caused the anger to begin with. The problem with that is the fact that the people who angered him were usually stronger than him and could do things like fire acid from their tells or block out his spider sense.
Being an introvert has given him a natural talent for science when he was very young. He loves creating and tinkering with projects that uses the complex thought processes that his mind could figure out. That is how he developed his web slingers. Photography had always been a hobby of his when he was younger and when it became his civilian job, he stopped doing it for fun. He actually stopped doing a lot of things for fun when he donned the blue and red costume that had become rather infamous. He absolutely loves living as Peter Parker and hanging out with friends. But currently, he does not have any. He has a life as Peter Parker, but not much of one. College and work. That isn't his idea of fun.
Voice Claim: Topher Grace
Powers:
Super Human Strength- He can lift up to 10 tons, but that is only in times of need. He regularly lifts up to 6 tons.
Super Human Reflexes- His reflexes are faster than an average human by about a factor of 15 (he is often able to dodge bullets, if he is far enough away). Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength.
Spider Sense- Spider-Man possesses an extrasensory "danger" or "spider" sense which warns him of potential immediate danger by tingling sensation in the back of his skull. The precise nature of this sense is unknown. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena (everything from falling safes to speeding bullets to thrown punches), which has given several hundredths of a seconds warning, which is sufficient time for his reflexes to allow him to avoid injury. The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes: he cannot discern the nature of the threat by the sensation. He can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of his response to it. Spider-Man's fighting style incorporates the advantage that his "spider-sense" provides him.
Wall Crawling- He is able to stick to walls and crawl up them without any handheld surfaces to grab on to
Strengths: Spider-Man's fighting style is unique to him. It has incorporated every one of his powers and even his web slingers. His devotion may be a weakness, but when family or friends are in danger, it gives him strength to persevere. Spider-Man is surprisingly intelligent, though he keeps it hidden from his enemies. He acts like a goof which causes enemies to underestimate him. Even as Peter Parker he doesn't really make his intelligence known.
Weaknesses:
Devotion to Family: His loving nature causes him to want to protect his family and friends. But in doing so, he creates an emotional barrier and has to push them away or else he feels they would be in danger.
Dual Identities: He tries to keep his personal life away from his crime fighting life. He is stretched so thin on time that he is often forgetful and tends to let people down even though he feels he is doing the right thing.
Spider-Sense Disruption: Spider-Man's Spider Sense can lose its effectiveness if it is blocked or temporarily weakened by specialized equipment or certain drugs. It also won't trigger if it detects something that isn't registered as a threat like the Spider-Man clones or the Venom symbiote and its offspring. When deprived of his spider-sense, Spider-Man becomes vulnerable to surveillance and attack, and web-slinging requires most of his concentration.
Anti-Venom's Proximity: Anti-Venom's failed attempt to cure Spider-Man of his radioactive blood resulted in Spider-Man's powers slowly canceling out whenever Anti-Venom is too close to him.
Ethyl Chloride: Perhaps as a side effect of gaining his powers, Spider-Man is susceptible to the pesticide ethyl chloride. This chemical is frequently used as a weapon by the Spider-Slayers.
Unstable Mutation: Not being a mutant, but a radio-activated human... the DNA in Peter Parker's body is very unstable. Without regular treatments from Doctor Connor's neogenetic rays, Peter is susceptible to transforming into the Man-Spider which is a predatory creature in which Peter has no control over.
Abilities:
Indomitable Will: Spider-Man has a strong Force of Will, completely free of evil and temptation. For years, he has struggled to balance his life as a student and his superhero duties. He is able to emerge from defeat even stronger. His mental strength is also shown when he successfully wrestles control of nanobots from Doctor Octopus.
Gifted Intellect: Academically gifted, Peter displays an uncanny affinity for science that is nothing short of genius.
Science Major: He is a brilliant individual, with exceptional skill in practically every field of science, and is an excellent inventor. He is an accomplished chemist and physicist
Skilled Photographer: Peter is a very skilled photographer
Master Acrobat: Thanks to his great strength and phenomenal equilibrium, Peter is an excellent athlete, excelling in all gymnastic fields and being able to perform every acrobatic stunt ever performed, including others that can never be performed by even an Olympic acrobat.
Master Combatant: Thanks to Peter's amazing superhuman physiology, acrobatic powers and spider sense, he is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant using a fighting style derived from his spider like abilities, he made his own street style that could rival virtually any combatant out of sheer volatility to standard fighting techniques (eg webbing, wall crawling, super strength to lift heavy objects, etc.)
Weapons: Web Shooters
History:
Peter Parker was orphaned at the age of 6 when his parents were killed in an airplane crash overseas. He went to live with his uncle and aunt, Ben and May Parker, in Forest Hills, New York. Parker was extremely bright and became a high honors student at Midtown High School. Parker's shyness and scholastic interest often made him a social outcast. One evening Parker attended a public exhibition demonstrating the safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste materials sponsored by the General Tectonics Corporation. During the demonstration, a small Common House Spider happened to be in the path of a particle accelerator's beam and was massively irradiated. The stricken spider fell on to Parker's hand, broke his skin with its fangs, and died. His hand burning from the bite, Parker left the exhibition. Parker made his way home and passed through an unfamiliar section of the city where he was accosted by a gang of hoodlums. Tossing the gang members aside, Parker was shocked by his own display of strength. As he fled from them, he ran into the path of a speeding car, and leaped to safety about 30 feet up onto a nearby wall. To his growing surprise, he discovered that he was able to stick to the wall with his fingertips. As he easily walked down a guy wire to the street below, he realized that he now possessed a superb sense of balance. Parker quickly associated these spider-like abilities with the bite from the irradiated spider.
There he saw a wrestling match which offered a prize for anyone that could remain in the ring at least 3 minutes with a professional wrestler. Interested in testing his new-found powers, Parker decided to accept the wrestler's challenge. Wearing a mask to conceal his features to avoid embarrassment in cast he lost, he easily defeated his opponent. A television producer's talent agent spotted him and promised him a segment on a network variety show. Parker, calling himself the Amazing Spider-Man, accepted the offer and decided to use it as a springboard to a show business career as a spectacular stunt performer. Over the next several evenings, Parker used equipment borrowed from his high school to fabricate a fluid that imitated a spider's silk web, and spinneret devices to project that fluid from his wrists in the form of a web strand. He also silk-screened his original design for a costume onto a body stocking and full-head mask. Thus prepared, Peter Parker appeared as Spider-Man on national television and was an immediate media sensation.
Just after the conclusion of the television show, a burglar, being pursued by a security guard, ran by Parker who impetuously allowed him to pass although he could have easily stopped him. When reprimanded by the guard, Parker arrogantly replied he was a professional performer and that chasing criminals was the guard's job. Parker promptly forgot the incident. A few days later, Parker returned home to find that his Uncle Ben had been murdered by a burglar. A police officer informed him that the burglar had been trailed to a nearby abandoned warehouse where the police had him trapped. Grief-stricken, Parker rushed to the warehouse to seek vengeance. At the warehouse Parker, as Spider-Man, easily captured the burglar and realized that he was the same person that he had allowed to run past him earlier that day in the TV studio. He realized that if he had acted responsibly earlier, he might have prevented the death of his uncle. Filled with remorse, he realized that with great power comes great responsibility, and he vowed to never shirk that responsibility again.
RP sample: Peter Parker was sitting down at his desk staring blankly at the monitor of his laptop. The luminescent glow from the computer illuminated Peter's face as he stared at it in the darkness. Peter was a smart guy, he knew that for a fact, but why was it so difficult for him to sit down and finish the six page report assigned to him in his Psychology class. It was interesting to learn about but lately his school work had been putting him to sleep. A slight breeze was causing the curtain by the window to dance. He smiled. Being cooped up in this apartment by himself was going to make him go crazy. Swinging around the city for a little while would take his mind off of school work. Peter had been stuck doing way too much homework to be healthy.
Peter Parker walked to his closet and opened it. There were thirty red and blue superhero costumes that he had hanging up. They were all clean and none of them had ever been worn. Good ole Peter Parker, always prepared. He sighed as he pulled down one of his costumes and walked over to the bed. He sat down and began to undress. He started with his socks and his shoes, bending down to untie his shoes. Next came his shirt which showed the impressive abs of a superhero that could lift ten tons over his head. He unbuttoned his pants and let them fall to the his ankles where he kicked them off. Time went by so slowly for him when he wasn't off playing superhero. It was getting frustrated. He put his costume on to cover his almost naked body and pulled the mask over his head. He jumped up onto the window sill of his third story apartment. He looked back into his boring apartment and decided that he needed to do something with his life. He just didn't know what.
