[quote=@mattmanganon] W.I.P. And yes, i'm making no reference to Kingpin in this, in case someone wants him for Daredevil. But pretty much, a Spider-Man who is trying to raise a company and a family at the same time as he's grieving for the loss of his best friend. All the while, Norman is being his usual prick self.

Always the independent and outspoken type, MJ takes what she wants, when she wants and after a stint living with her aunt after her father's alcoholism got too much, she decided she wanted Peter. "Face it, Tiger, you've just hit the jackpot!" were the words that heralded her back into his life. They dated, there was struggles, they broke up and got back together a few times, she found out his secret and stuck with him, but always maintained a strong relationship with Harry. They were married with Harry as her Maid of Honour (He came dressed as the Queen of Spain) Eventually, she gave birth to their daughter May Day Parker and the pair of them have been Peters rock and center of his universe ever since.

It was a hell of a time trying to raise her as her Spider-Powers emerged at the age of 3. She is as powerful as her father and fearless as her mother.

But then his life started to go downhill, his mother died after a short battle with Cancer and then his father sacrficed himself to save his grandfather.

He was the foremost authority on cybornetics, but an accident left 4 cybornetic tentacles to be completely welded to his own skeleton. Since nobody was willing to fund his experiments legally, he decided he would steal it. He battle Spider-Man on many occassions, but even when worst came to worst, he and Peter were always civil with each other. Now that Peter has founded Parker Industries, he needs a mad scientist to head up the Cybernetics division.

Parker Industries, wanted to enter the Aeronautics industry and needed an expert. In order to help give Toomes that second chance that Peter thinks he needed to get out of a life of crime.

The pair were somewhat rivals under the tutelage of Otto Octavius, constantly vying for their mentors appreciation and respect, as well as the right to join him at those science dinners he was getting invited to. However, it as at one of these dinners that he was drawn away from Cybernetics towards Neogenics. After Otto went nuts, Peter lost contact with him. Turns out he had a degenerative neurological disease that was quickly killing him and he believed that Neogenics was the way out of it. He was half right. Michaels project resulted in him crossing his DNA with that of a Vampire Bat. Michael went on a blood-crazed binge through New York, but was finally brought out of his stupor by Spider-Man teaming up with Otto to bring him down. Unfortunately, they weren't able to fully cure him, but they were able to give him his sanity back. Michael has been fighting crime across New York by himself, going in and out of superhuman prisons. Now, his old rival has given him a job as the head of Neogenic research.

He was born lame and unable to walk, but his brilliant mind was cultivated to become the smartest of all of the Smythes. But when their attempts to cure him ran themselves into serious debt, they services out to the Maggia. They created a number of Spider-Slayer robots that gave Spider-Man a lot of trouble over the years. To get better results, the Maggia killed Alistairs father and framed Spider-Man. This worked for a time, making Alistair completely fixated on Spider-Mans death, but eventually, even the robots constant beat-downs on Spider-Man would no longer satiate him. He wanted to rip Spider-Man apart with his bare hands and as such, began researching into Neogenics. To get his revenge, he would mutate his body along with cybernetic upgrades to turn himself into a Spider-Slayer. Smythe went after Spider-Man and beat him bloody, but Spider-Man retreated and found the evidence that this was a Maggia plot. Smythe turned himself in and cut a deal with the authorities to testify against the Maggia, but afterwards, struggled with how to proceed in life as a cybornetic killing machine. He was eventually found by Peter and brought in to help with both the Neogenics and Cybornetics divisions.[/indent] [indent][sub][b][color=lightgray] S p e c t a c u l a r F o e s[/color][/b][/sub] [sup]▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ [COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]►[/b][/color] Norman Osborn "Green Goblin"[/color][/sup] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]Father of Harry and grandfather of Normie, he is the CEO of Oscorp. Norman has been Spider-Man's nemesis since almost the beginning of his career. Originally a mild mannered, but ruthless businessman and scientist. He took a US Army contract to try and recreate Doctor Abraham Erskine's Super Soldier Syrum. The project was on the cusp of success for years and went completely overbudget. On the verge of having to declare Bankruptcy, he decided to test it on himself. At first, the formula worked he was super strong, super fast, superior to any other human, physically... But then the voices started... The voices in his head... They told him to do things. Awful things. This voice was The Goblin. As the Goblin, he began to attack his competators and had run-ins with Spider-Man. Norman would fight Spider-Man on and off for many years, eventually infecting Harry with the formula and making him another Goblin. However, Harry's goblin in his head was never fully in control. When Peter made a mistake, Norman capitalized on it and learned Peter's identity. When he told Harry, hoping to harness Harry's rage at Peter's secret, but actually had the exact opposite effect. Harry had just learned that his girlfriend was pregnant and this convinced him that if he stayed in New York, his son would grow up in a warzone between his father and best friend. Norman played the long game, going after Peter relentlessly in any legal way he could, as well as Spider-Man as the Green Goblin. Now, with Harry's sacrifice, the Goblin has been forced to retire... But Norman now has a new plan in order to ruin Peter and get his grandson back. He has eyes on the White House...

He loves money. Fistfuls of dollars, bathtubs full of jewels. Max dreams of having a money bin he can dive into like Scrooge McDuck. This is his entire motivation, his reason for constantly pushing forward. Max is currently serving as Security for Parker Industries, but is actually on Norman's payroll, giving him whatever info he needs while working from the inside. Peter suspects this, but ultimately wants to give Max the benefit of the doubt, keeping him away from the most secure information. [sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]►[/b][/color]Mac Gargan "Scorpion"[/color][/sup] [color=#2e2c2c]-[/color]Mac was the unfortunate victim of his own greed. Mac was originally a Private Investigator, hired by J Jonah Jameson in order to find out who Spider-Man was, but was thwarted at every turn. Eventually, he got so sick and tired of it that Jameson payed for him to become a test subject at in an Oscorp experiment. He was sealed in a hyper-powerful cybornetic battlesuit... The operative word of that being "Sealed" Mac wasn't told about that before agreeing. He went crazy and attempted to destroy Oscorp with Spider-Man coming to intervene. He and Spider-Man battled a lot over the years, with Scorpion mostly losing. He would rob banks and stores in an attempt to make enough money to pay people to cut him out of the battlesuit. When Norman first learned of Parker looking to hire his old villains with promises of helping them with their own problems, Norman made it a priority to get to Mac first, promising an out if he were to become his bodyguard on his campaign trail (With an off the books agreement that he'll throw in a chance to kill Spider-Man.)
