[quote=@Zoey White] Here she is! My Spider-Gwen. I'm 100% certain the most optimal outcome is to have every single character be a Spider-Hero. Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse 2, this time with more gladiatorial combat. The only thing that movie was missing.

Like a mood ring, only deadly and full of teeth. Isn't that cute? [/hider] [b][color=bc8dbf]| Spider-Gwen |[/color][/b] [b][color=bc8dbf]| 19 |[/color][/b] [b][color=bc8dbf]| Character Differences |[/color][/b] While usually Peter Parker is the one to get bitten by the radioactive spider, in some universe it is Gwen Stacy instead. She developed the proportional strength of a spider, the ability to climb walls, precognition and incredibly fast reaction times, and heightened intelligence allowing her to invent web fluid. She has also gained the powers and drawbacks of the Symbiote suit quite recently, granting her even more strength, durability and altering her physical form, camoflauge and mimicry, as well as immunity to various pyschic attacks. She is also a lot meaner and bitter than most interpretations of the character, sucked into gladiatorial combat at her lowest point. Gwen and Venom are not one, and the two often bicker about what should be done, though currently Venom is the more powerful identity. [b][color=bc8dbf]| Brief World Background |[/color][/b] In Gwen's world, she is the only super-hero, ever. The world is filled to the brim with mundane folk, it is a magicless and godless place. Earth has never come into contact with any alien life. This is what makes her story so remarkable. New York City is on the brink of a technological revolution, and humanity is finally breaching into the future. In the year 2056, the modern day is evolving into something else. Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, the Vulture, the Lizard, Sandman, Mysterio, Mister Negative, in her world these are people who whether they wanted to or not, had the next stage of human evolution thrust upon them. Eventually all of them saw themselves as the superior being, the ultimate life form. It was Spider-Woman who lead the fight against these villains, with no help outside of the police force who often regarded her as no different from the villains she battled. In the near future, advanced technology is extremely rare but is becoming more and more common. [b][color=bc8dbf]| Brief Character Background |[/color][/b] Gwen Stacy was bitten by a radioactive spider when she put on a ballet shoe that had a radioactive spider in it. Go figure. At 14 she became The Spider-Woman. Her father was a police detective, and imparted upon her lessons of great power and great responsibility. George Stacy was his name, and sometimes it felt like he was the only good cop on the force. Corruption was rampant, greed was everyone, and New York City was in the hands of the common crook. Gwen saw these issues and adopted The Spider-Woman persona, using her powers as a vigilante to fight crime. Eventually, of course, she came to be hunted by her own father. As time went on, Gwen Stacy was not the only person to become a super-being. The man who created the Spider that escaped and bit her, Norman Osborn, re-attempted the formula and pushed it even further, eventually going mad. What a weirdo. Yeah, no, it's like it would have been great to have a Spider-Man running around and helping her or anything. Doctor Octopus fused himself with machinery and rained havoc over the city. What a pyscho. There were many more of this type that the teenager put herself in harms way to stop, inspired by her father that did the same thing every day, only he had no super powers. What right did she to not do the same thing? Sometimes she knew these villains before, and sometimes they figured out who she was. It's been a stressful few years, to say the least. But what else she could do? So many people could die if she stopped. She just had to keep going. Even if everybody in the whole world hated her or didn't appreciate her, or whatever. That didn't matter. When she was 18 years old, her father died. The criminal that killed him was someone that Spider-Gwen felt pity for. A pathetic lowlife, scared and alone. So scared that he went home and fetched his back up gun. So scared that as he hobbled along the street, he assumed the first cop he saw was someone trying to silence him, when infact it was just her father trying to help. Gwen Stacy swung to the scene to see her dying father, the arrested lowlife, and fell into a deep depression. That hurt. That really, really hurt. Her hero was dead. Her mother couldn't exactly cheer her up and Gwen couldn't open up to her, not really. So she sulked. Sulked, brooded, looked out a window on rainy day. She dropped out of high school despite being almost done, despite all of her mother's protests. That way she would have more time to be Spider-Woman. Too bad she didn't want to be Spider-Woman anymore. Her life changed again when one day she woke up and she was wearing her suit. Panicking that her mother would find out, she went to remove only to find it impossible. It was glued directly to her skin, and felt...slimy? Her normal suit hugged her form pretty well, but this looked painted on. Turning on the light, she found that it wasn't just the dark room, the entire thing was black save for a few stylish highlights. That was the day she met the symbiote. That was the day she really became the badass she was supposed to be. It told her it was an alien. From another world. That it sought her out because it knew that she was the only one who could handle the responsibility to do what needed to be done. It- he- she- they- it was hard to tell sometimes, told her what she wanted to hear. It gave her the confidence to do what needed to be done. The police were incompetent, crime ran amok, and prison was just a revolving door. She had to take it into her own hands if she wanted to get anything done. That was was the night she took her first life. It was so much easier than knocking them out or dying them to a wall. Just...throw them against the wall. And it's over. Easy. Rejuvinated, she got her GED, finishing out her education and went on to go to college. Her mother was happy that her little girl was out of her "rut." You know what? So was she. This was going to be a good year. Or not. Two months ago, while beating Kingpin to a bloody pulp, they were transported to another dimension and forced to battle interdimensional beings for survival. Yeah, that esclated pretty quickly. Really took a wild turn, there. Wowee zowee. Whatever. They'll get out. Soon enough they'll get out, kill whoever put them there and go home. Put all of this behind them. [/hider] [/quote] Interesting take on Gwen. It would certainly provide a lot of unique conflict among the group where she around, I'm sure. Just so I know, do you plan on applying with a secondary?
