Well guess I gotta delete this Spider-Hulk sheet now

Damn, I was rooting for that one. If we can have Venom Punisher, certainly we can have Spider-Hulk.

Fisk, I had thought of him buying up small but brilliant tech companies namely to put the scientists to work on arms manufacturing. It is how Silk’s first villain in the IC, The Vulture, will appear. Bought out by Fisk and given a bit of Reach tech to make his invention of a flying suit finally possible but now he is in debt to Fisk.

I dunno, feel free to workshop!

Just a cheap imitation of Stark Industries PATENTED War Machine armour smh.

You'll be hearing from his lawyers.

<Snipped quote by Sep>

No legal RP until we get a Daredevil or She-Hulk app.

Does anyone have feelings about who the mayor of New York City would be? I guess technically atm it'd be between me and Priouette to decide, but I figured I'd ask the community since NYC will probably be home to so many interactions.

In terms of suggestions I was hoping for Fisk or Osborn. A tyrannical mayor seems like a fit, but I also don't know if that kind lf threat would draw focus away from Lord's administration.

<Snipped quote by DocTachyon>

The FF are also based in New York! I really like @Pirouettes idea though.

Looking for mercurial problem solvers, they saw Bobbi as one of the brightest recruits they had found in quite some time. A PhD in biology, unfortunately, didn’t really have much use in the intelligence gathering business, but what was useful was how quick Bobbi was in her feet as well as in the head. She was 22. Over the next twelve years she became one of the elite spies in the agency, traveling across the world in the best interests of the United States government and generally getting the job done–with efficiency and deadly accuracy. Considering herself a patriot and in the cause, when the cynicism resulting from experience turned its head she tried to keep her feet planted in the ground. The world was changing, and not for the better. She lived through the housing crisis, the recession that resulted from it, the rise of even more terrorist cabals, and reactionary cultural sentiments that seemed to go global. With the CIA depowered and run through by President Lord and a new agency erected above it, Morse is starting to wonder where Lord’s administration is taking America. Still nursing the effects of The Reach Invasion, she’s in a tough spot. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ The appeal of Mockingbird in a comic-oriented jab at contemporary politics escalating to a boiling point of chaos and paranoia, largely, is to play from a perspective from the inside. The decision to keep her in the CIA/Agency route instead of moving her to SHIELD is largely to keep her still relatively in line with supporting the government in spite of the early lunacies of the Lord Administration. I hope to interact and collaborate with both ex-government types as well as figures like Captain America. I do better role-playing, anyway, which I’m sure you agree with as an assessment. Anyway, here's to having fun, maybe.

Superhuman Durability: While his skin doesn't stop bullet, he is capable of surviving considerable amounts of blunt-force trauma. Hit by cars, trains, superhumans capable of ripping buildings apart, Spider-Man just keeps bouncing back. Wall-Crawling: Due to hyperstrong-microfibers that have grown out of the pores of his body, he is capable of sticking to most surfaces and clinging on with just the palm of his hand or soles of his feet, even just by hooking on with his shoulders. Hyper-Reflexes: Spidey's reflexes are that of an insect, during times of stress, he perceives the world around him at 40x the speed of others and reacts accordingly. Seeing the world in slow motion, but seeming to move normally. Spider-Senses: Spidey's Senses are something of an oddity. Some form of Extra-Sensory Perception, he gets a strange tingle in the back of his neck whenever danger is nearby. Superhuman Regeneration: While not exactly healing back broken bones in seconds or anything, Spidey's recovery rate is considerably elevated. Able to heal minor cuts and scrapes in hours with broken bones coming back in days rather than weeks. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ TOOLS Spider-Suit: The suit is just as much a part of Spider-Man as the cool powers, having advanced technologies built into it. Including: Web-Slingers: A useful tool that allows him to (As his themesong says) spin a web of any size. He has multiple different formula's that he developed and packed into super-compressed capsules that he uses as ammo for his webslingers. Robes to wrap up people, grapples to hold and swing from, super-dense balls that are essentially for punching someone in the face from across the room, sticky-goop webs that hold his opponents in place, etc. Spider-Tracers: While the Web-Slingers are built into the palm-side of his wrist, he also has a Spider-Tracer shooter built into the back of it, allowing him to fire a tracking device at fleeing foes, sometimes because they are flying, but mostly because someone is in danger and Spidey always chooses to help those in need above hurting his foes. Spider-Visor: Although his spider-senses allow him to navigate pretty well, the visor in his suit has multiple display modes, including a Heads-Up Display for keeping track of his equipment and any damage to it, as well as night-vision, UV-sensors and other things that help him in his Spider-Maning tasks. - N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S _________________________________________________________ Spectacular Skills [+] - S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ SKILL Expert Gymnast: Although he actually was rather into gymnastics when he was quite young, he had mostly forgotten it until that heady day when he was 15 when that Radioactive Spider came down... Well, it turns out that his former training seemed to come in quite handy when he was able to bend and flex the way he could. Ever since he became Spider-Man, Peter has been actively training to get better and better. Skilled Photographer: Oh for the days of living on the $100 a week that JJ used to pay him for his photo's of "The Webslinging Menace" He was never the best photographer and the job kinda sucked all of the joy he used to have in the medium out of him, but he's still nonetheless quite good with a camera. "Way Of The Spider": In the beginning, Spidey used to rely heavily on his super-powers for combat. Ambushing and overpowering his foes in blitz-attacks. But as he grew, he began to develop his own style of combat. Partially inspired by old Kung-Fu movies, combined with a healthy dose of Karate from a local teacher, as well as a teeny-tiny bit of professional wrestling from back in the day when he was "the Amazing Human-Spider" This martial art proved to be rather effective. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ TALENT Genius Level Intellect: Spider-Man is a powerful hero, but frankly, would be nothing without the genius levels of intellect that Peter Parker possesses. Creating gadgets, outthinking his opponents, mastering Robotics, Neogenics and even got the most prestigeous thing a scientist can ask for: Has a particle named after him. Peter's knowledge of the physical sciences are not the greatest in the universe (He'll be the first to admit that he's no Reed Richards) But there are few in the scientific community that would scoff at his prowess. Indomitable Will: "Stay Down" is, almost literally, not in Pete's vocabulary. Life has been doing its absolute damnedest to keep him down since forever and he has never let it do so, no matter how many times he had to look in his wallet and say "Nope, too broke for 10c ramen packets" no matter how many loved ones have died in seemingly pointless ways, no matter how many times a Supervillain puts his head through a pane-glass window, no matter how many times alien goo monsters turn him into a raging dickhead and he has to constantly worry about them hunting him down like a Bunny-Boiling Ex, no matter how many times the papers smeer his name, no matter how many times he has to pick himself up off the ground, Peter lives by the code of "All i have to do is get back up exactly 1 more time than they can knock me down." and so far it's working. -

T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... ________________________________________________________________________________________ Orphaned at a young age, Peter was raised by his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Growing up, he had his best friend group including Mary Jane Watson (The Girl Next Door) and Harry Osborn (the son of a friend of May's) They would spend a lot of time together, playing in the back garden, being the 3 Musketeers (Well, 2 musketeers, Harry had to be the Queen of Spain) As life went on, Mary Jane went to live with her Aunt. Peter and Harry wouldn't learn until later in life that it's because her alcoholic father had beaten her mother until she committed suicide and authorities had awarded custody to the closest mentally competent family member. They met back up when they all went to Highschool together. The 3 Musketeers reunited. So, this is the part of the story where the Spider shows up, let's NOT do this one last time, spider-bite, weird powers, Professional Wrestling, Uncle Ben killed by guy Peter could have stopped from robbing his boss, but didn't want to get involved yada-yada-yada, you know the drill. So, now, he is The Amazing Spider-Man at the age of only 16. A few years go by, simple robberies he's stopping, alleyway muggings, becomes something of a local legend, although he's annoyed that most people seem to think he's just horning in on Batman's gig. He graduates from High-School, super-villains begin to show up. His first is Doctor Curtis Connors, a brilliant Neogenecist who's working on Lizard DNA. He ends up turning himself into a giant lizard monster and becomes obsessed with unlocking the secrets of Spider-Man's powers, Curt actually befriended Peter and then betrayed him, giving Pete some severe Trust issues for a while. Other villains came along, Mac Gargan, Adrien Tombes, Dmitri Smerdyakov, Max Dillon, he had an unfortunate run-in with a nasty pile of Alien goop, but that's a LONG story, heard it's running with some gun-crazed maniac now... Several of his villains turned out to be... Well, not villains. His sort-of rival from his days at Empire State, Michael Morbius, he may have turned himself into a mutant-vampire-like creature, but all-in-all, he only does what he does in an attempt to cure his unfortunate mistake. Otto Octavius is a genius and was his and Michaels professor at Empire State. Unfortunately, he went a little... Well, i believe the medical term is "Coo-coo-kachoo-pants-on-head-banana's" But i'm not entirely sure, i'm not a doctor... Well, i am, but not that kind of doctor. Point is, he welded 4 mechanical arms to his spine and got it in his head that he could save the entire human race from itself by stealing vast quantities of cash and building giant mechanical octopus-bots and spider-smashers. A little confused, but he had the right spirit. Alasdair Smythe... Ok, he was a brilliant scientist who ALSO went a little "blibble-blibble-blibble" (Again, i believe that's the correct pronunciation) when The Kingpin framed Spider-Man for killing his father, Spencer. He mutated himself into a giant mountain of muscle and cybornetic enhancements with giant spikes that shoot laserbeams and stuff in order to get his revenge (As one naturally does), but as soon as he found out it was Kingpin just trying to make enemies for Spider-Man... Well, turns out he's not such a bad guy. So, you may be wondering about his old friends, Harry and MJ? Well, some good, some bad. Harry's Dad tested a new Super-Soldier syrum on himself in a desperate attempt to win a military contract. The positive is that it did turn him into a superhuman badass, the bad news is that it turned him into a superhuman badass with severe Schizophrenia and now has "The Goblin" who tells him to burn things. Namely, things called Spider-Man. Well, eventually, Gobby decided to get his son in on the game and recruited him as a Sidekick by the name of Hobgoblin. There was a number of fights, Spider-Man won some, Gobby almost won others. Eventually, Norman managed to band together 4 other Villains into a team he called The Sinister Six, but in the end, most of them were defeated and jailed. To make matters worse for Gobby, the truth came out that, yes, Peter Parker was Spider-Man. Luckily, there was enough of Harry left in there to allow him to break out of his fathers control. Harry eloped with his girlfriend and Peter didn't hear from him again... As for MJ? Well, in her words "Face facts, Tiger, you won the jackpot" Their whirlwind romance had a LOT of ups and downs, threats to leave him because she didn't know he was Spider-Man and kept missing appointments because "Sorry, babe, gotta save New York from a runaway man in a giant rhino-costume" wasn't exactly an easy pill to swallow. But after Aunt May's passing, Peter was forced to come clean with her... Luckily, the best romances are built on trust and affection... And after she finished beating 7 bells out of him for lying to her for all these years, she forgave him. They married just before The Reach arrived. Spider-Man didn't have much interaction with The Reach. They never really had any villains that bothered Queens, so he didn't really give them much thought. He suspected that they may have had something to do with that weird alien goo-monster he had trouble with previously, but again, never managed to prove anything. That also had the knock-on effect of Peter never really wanting to mess with Alien technology, because of said last time... That was until the attack... Spider-Man had his work cut out for him keeping New York under control as panicing filled the streets, but with MJ there to be his emotional center, he was able to persevere. Then, 5 years ago, up in the sky, it wasn't a bird, it wasn't a plane, it was a big blue Angel who came and saved them. Spider-Man didn't go to Washington to help, as he vowed to protect New York and his then Pregnant wife... Oh, i didn't mention, MJ was preggers at this time. She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, May-Day Parker, on the day the Bomb went off (There's definitely no way that could possibly come back to bite us ever) With the Aliens defeated, Peter was positive things were looking up... That was until it turned out that a force from within rather than without came to infect America. Maxwell Lord decided that "Anything even slightly inhuman has gotta go." He didn't seem to care too much about the Cyborgs and other mechanical monstrosities, but Spider-Man's already smeared public image got raked through the mud EVEN WORSE this time. Things then went from bad to worse. Harry came back into the picture in the Goblin Armour, the brand new Green Goblin. And... Well... Harry purposely lost the fight... Not only that, he purposely got himself killed on the big screen in front of the whole city. Turns out, the Goblin had began to take over again. It was running riot through Harry's brain and he couldn't take it. Harry was a good person, he didn't want to hurt people, and with his wife having died of Cancer, he just couldn't take the risk he would do anything to their son. Whilst dying, Harry threw off the mask in front of the camera's to prove once-and-for all that the Green Goblin was an ALWAYS had been Harry Osborn, that the rumours surrounding his father were entirely his doing. His last sacrifice in an attempt to buy his fathers soul back from The Goblin. But Harry had set his affairs in order. He had signed everything over to his son, Norman "Normie" . and the executors of his sons estate until he came of age... MJ and Peter. The next day, Peter met with Norman... Norman... Didn't take it well... There were some cross words had, threats of legal action, threats of violence, but ultimately, for the sake of Harry's memory and the sake of Normie. See, Harry had actually been a fairly sensible investor and actually managed to gain a small controlling stake in Oscorp over the years. A stake that he left to Normie. And with Oscorp being one of the premier weapons-contractors, business had been BOOMING. Meaning that that stock was now worth quite a lot. As the executor of the estate, Peter could do anything he wanted with those shares and there was nothing Norman could do to stop him, but to honour Harry's memory, he sold the controlling stake to Norman, securing Normans place as the one-and-only Immortal-God-Emperor of Oscorp with pretty much nobody able to tell him what to do. With that money, Peter invested in a new company, Parker Industries. A new tech start-up that developed new hardware, software, pharmaceuticals, the very controversial Neogenics division and other non-military projects designed to help the people of the world and to save lives. And the cherry atop the sundae? With a bit of political clout as gained for him by being the Spokesperson of Spider-Man back during the Reach invasion, he was able to leverage it to Parole some of his old enemies out of the clink, on the proviso that they serve their time developing for Parker Industries. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) ________________________________________________________________________________________ I want to explore the next phase of Spider-Man's story if his story was actually allowed to progress. Marvel has this idea in their minds that Spider-Man is only allowed to suffer and be an ignorant teenager. I want to show how he actually handles being a man with his own responisbilities and with a happy family, but obviously, Pete isn't done being life's whipping boy just yet. His suffering has just evolved and he has evolved with it. I kinda want to work in some of the Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy stuff, but i realize that's super popular and borderline it's own thing at this point, so i'm going go forego any use of them. I also plan to work with the other New York/Spider-themed players to make sure that i'm gonna give them all of the space they need in order to make sure that their stories take priority, hence why Venom is left somewhat ambiguous in this. So, some of the plots i plan to explore in this include: The Metahuman Question Normie and May-Day are both Metahumans. Although May-Day was always expected to have some Mutant powers, due to Peter's Radioactive Spider-Blood, she develops a few... Less than intended mutations along with it due to The Reach's DNA-diddling fiasco. Normie's metahuman ability on the otherhand is a severely increased intellect. He is almost as smart as Peter despite being only 8 years old. Problem is that as soon as The Agency figures this out, the defecation is going to hit the osculation. Spider-Girl and American Son As a follow on from the previous point, Normie and May-Day are best of friends and have both know about Peter being Spider-Man... Well, they want to do Crime Fighting as well. May-Day already has her Spider powers coming in nicely, but Normie... Normie idolizes Captain America... But the problem is that Normie was born with a brilliant mind, but a lame body. He has always been rather physically weak... He plans to fix that using Neogenics and some stolen Oscorp files. Clone Saga Ah yes, that old chestnut. So, this is going to be The Agencies big plan to deal with Spider-Man. Clone Him. And with the help of some Reach science, they may have just the means to make some Enhanced Spider-Powered Boot-Boys with which to round up and murder as many Meta's as they can find. Norman's Revenge Norman got away with being the Green Goblin scott free... And if he puts the suit back on, he invalidates every sacrifice his beloved son made... Even Norman's not that selfish and petty (Close, but no cigar) With an agency out there looking to take down every mutant, including Spider-Man, he may be looking for some partners within The Agency to take his revenge for him and deliver his beloved grandson back into his arms. Superior Six With Octavius, Smythe, Tombes, Dillon and Morbius working at Parker Industries, Peter is eager to maybe put together a team that can show the world that not all Mutants are bad, that they can absolutely do good for the world. Unforutnately, these 5 may be willing to help Peter and work off their debt to Society, most of them actually REALLY dislike each other, especially after the Sinister Six debacle. So, making them into an Avengers team may not be the easiest thing in the universe...
