Hey, Gowi. I saw the interest check for this but was deciding between this and a different RP to join possibly. I love superheroes, Marvel specifically, so this really jumped out at me. I find it pretty intriguing. And the fact that you say it'll be a leisurely pace is even better. Here is my submission. Seeing a more selfish Spider-Man running around in this era is interesting to me. Let me know if there are any problems. Thanks for your consideration.[hr]

[color=999999]Peter Parker/Spider-Man is my favorite character in comic books and one of the many reasons is because of the wealth of story potential surrounding the character. Basically, I intend to explore a world in which Peter Parker decides to use his powers as a mercenary instead of taking the great responsibility he was meant for. He is usually portrayed as an average everyman sort of character with varying degrees of bad luck so I want to present a notion that he decided to use his newfound abilities for profit rather than heroism. This will not be an all out villainous look at Spider-Man (As that has been done before anyways), but a more anti-hero, selfish version of the character that's not often seen - behavior triggered by the fact that his Uncle Ben never actually died. To present a sort of primer, it will go something like this: 

At the age of eighteen, Peter Parker is bitten by a genetically enhanced spider--one which combined the abilities of various species--and given the abilities of said creature in an unexpected twist. As he is discovering and learning the potential of his newfound power, he comes across the opportunity to make a little cash by participating in an underground fighting circuit. He makes a name for himself amongst the underworld while hiding his true identity from the more unsavory types. His Uncle Ben catches on and decides to try and catch him in the act one day, but he is assaulted almost as soon as he enters the secluded area. Instead of getting killed however, Peter is able to save his Uncle and the two decide that is the end of the "Spider-Man's" fighting career. After graduating high school and moving out of his Aunt and Uncle's home, Peter decides he has a unique opportunity to make large amounts of money in a very short time frame; rather than going into the work force or pursuing college, he decides to sell his abilities to the highest bidder and take on dangerous jobs only he has a possibility of coming out alive from, both because of the thrill of danger he tasted in the underground ring and the potential to secure large contracts from his clientele. With that, he once again dons his Spider-Man persona and becomes a mercenary operating out of New York. He still hides his true identity just in case his business tries to follow him home.

So basically, it's a Peter Parker that never learned the responsibility of heroism because he was able to save his Uncle from being killed and rather than go on to be a struggling adult trying to juggle his superhero and normal life, he decides to become a mercenary and make the most of his abilities while also elevating his normal life rapidly. And it's the frikkin' 60s. This is a most awesome era indeed. Well, more intriguing than awesome, what with the rampant racism and tensions in the world at the time.[/color]

[b][u]Gwen Stacy[/u][/b]
-Once just another fellow high school alum, Gwen Stacy is Peter Parker's current, and most successful, girlfriend. The two have been together since running into one another only a few weeks after high school graduation and Gwen knows of her boyfriend's alter-ego. Though she loves the man under the mask, Gwen is not a fan of how Spider-Man sells himself to the highest bidder. She works as a secretary for a small-time ad company, but garners zero respect as a woman. Thus far, Peter is one of the few men who treats her as something more than just a trophy on his arm.

[b][u]Harry Osborn[/u][/b]
-Son of the mega-wealthy Norman Osborn, Harry and Peter have been friends since childhood. As a spoiled rich kid, Harry bounced from one occupation to the next after high school and never seems to stick with any form of employment for longer than three months. However, unbeknownst to his father, he supports his friend in his extra-curricular activities by acting as his handler. Using his father's large network of contacts, Harry is able to secure contracts for Peter on a regular basis and though he isn't paid for his efforts, Harry appreciates the thrill of doing something in the shadows. Outside of this, he is a hard partying individual and is generally known around the city for his drunken antics and many pursuits of women.[/hider][/color]
