[COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ENHANCED STRENGTH[/b][/color]
Spider-Man has the ability to lift up to 20 tons. Unless facing somebody with equal or greater physical endurance, he has to withdraw his flails and kicks most of the time, as it’s proven to be lethal against an average human being. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ENHANCED VELOCITY[/b][/color]
Spider-Man can move and run past the physical limits of the world’s greatest athlete, capable of catching up with an accelerating vehicle on foot, even though he prefers traveling by his web-strings. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ENHANCED FLEXIBILITY[/b][/color]
Spider-Man’s agility, balance, and physical coordination exceed those of the world’s greatest athlete. He’s exceptionally nimble, and regardless of their physical capabilities, his sinews and connective tissues are far more flexible than those of an average human being. His astonishing flexibility also allows him to perform complicated acrobatic maneuvers such as flips, rolls, and springs that can break any Olympic record at gymnastics to date. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ENHANCED REFLEXES[/b][/color]
Spider-Man’s reflexes are multiple times greater than those of an average human being. With or without the spider-sense (we’ll get to that later), this ability allows him to evade nearly every fast-paced assault, including the firing bullet. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ENHANCED ENDURANCE[/b][/color]
Spider-Man’s body is more tolerant to injuries and arduous impact than nearly anything else to the point where falling from the top of a multi-storied building and absorbing an attack from an adversary with equal or greater raw strength didn’t affect him. His enhanced muscular system also produces lesser fatigue toxins than that of an average human being, allowing him to push beyond his physical limitations for a longer amount of time before fatigue begins to impede him. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ REGENERATION[/b][/color]
Spider-Man is capable of healing and regenerating faster than an average human being is capable of, albeit slower than the likes of Wolverine. After receiving his powers, he soon learned that his eyes had been cured, enabling him to ditch his myopic glasses altogether. His accelerated metabolism also renders him immune to all kinds of drugs and diseases, even though he has a normal human tolerance for alcoholic beverages. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ WALL-CRAWLING[/b][/color]
Due to the genetically enhanced spider bite, Spider-Man is gifted the ability to manipulate the attraction between surfaces limited to his body (limbs especially) and a different object, enabling him to stick to and crawl around different surfaces. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ SPIDER-SENSE[/b][/color]
The precognitive caution capable of warning Spider-Man of imminent danger through a tingling sensation by the back of his head. The spider-sense allows him to evade any of the attacks thrown at him by his adversary. It can also act as a guidance to lead him to or away from hidden threats. Severe threats can prompt the spider-sense to react with agonizing intensity. [/color][/sup]

The miniscule electronic trackers that Spider-Man designed to track objects or individuals. Usually, he plants or tosses one on the intended target to follow them to their destination of choice. The signals of the Spider-Tracers are linked directly to his spider-sense, extending up to a hundred yard radius. [/color][/sup]

Initially the project that earned him the first place in the science fair that changed the course of his life forever, the Spider-Drones become the web-slinger’s extensions after a massive overhaul if and when he isn’t available to patrol. They function similarly to surveillance devices, capable of sending recorded pictures, sounds, and raw footage to his phone. They can also shoot webs and swing with them, run an analysis on their intended target through a facial recognition program, as well as communicating with their owner either through verbal means or by sending messages to his phone. There are three of them; each with their own personality. He names them Terry, Andy, and Joey to help him differentiate one Spider-Drone to another.[/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ PHOTOGRAPHY[/b][/color] 
Initially taking pictures as part of his past times, Peter eventually becomes a skilled photographer who works for the Daily Bugle. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ MARTIAL ARTS MASTERY[/b][/color]
Experiences in both crime-fighting and the squared circle help Spider-Man develop his own fighting style that accentuates his arachnid-like strength, velocity, and flexibility. His techniques are unconventional, allowing him to adapt to all sorts of martial arts practitioners. [/color][/sup]

[sup][COLOR=darkgray][color=lightgray][b]◼ ACROBATICS[/b][/color]
Largely thanks to his arachnid-like flexibility, Spider-Man excels in every gymnastic field, managing to perform the most breathtaking stunts that not even skilled Olympic acrobats can possibly perform.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Peter Benjamin Parker was born in Queens to researchers Richard and Mary Parker who went missing under mysterious circumstances. Orphaned since birth, Peter was initially brought to an orphanage before being taken under the care of his uncle and aunt, Ben and May Parker, who raised him as if he was their biological son. As he grew to be a teenager, Peter became a science prodigy who excelled in each and every subject taught to him at Midtown High School, eventually earning him a science scholarship to the Empire State University (ESU) following his graduation. However, his sheepish nature and lack of social skills made him a primary target for bullying, especially by a college jock Eugene “Flash” Thompson whom Peter had a rather unpleasant rivalry with dating back to their high school days.

One day, Peter attended the annual science fair held by the ESU where he showed his first invention: a cutting-edge drone that could serve as both a surveillance device and a personal assistant capable of helping its user far beyond trivial tasks. The project eventually won him the first prize, though by the time he was called to receive his trophy, something unexpected happened. One of the Reach’s genetically enhanced spiders that’d been roaming around New York City since its creator’s downfall made its way to the campus, landing on his hand and biting him. It didn’t take long until the impact of the bite surfaced, giving Peter a strong, agonizing headache before he was overwhelmed and passed out. 

It took Peter a whole day to regain his consciousness, and by the time he woke up, his life was never the same. He could stick to virtually any surface and recognize and evade danger through a precognitive, tingling sense—doing basically anything that a spider can do. It took him about a week to get used to his newfound powers, and when he felt ready, he decided to put them to a test. When news spread that the UCWF—the number one wrestling promotion in the city—was hiring new younger talents, Peter secretly applied for the gig, assuming the wise-cracking masked persona named “Spider-Man.” As the mysterious Spider-Man, he overcame every wrestler in the locker room in an astonishing display of strength and speed, becoming the wrestling community’s hottest sensation overnight. As days turned into months, so had Peter’s popularity skyrocketed among the fans that he was vouched for a title match against the erstwhile champion Crusher Hogan, where the promoter had promised to pay him $3000 if he managed to win under three minutes. Initially nervous, he eventually defeated the champion with ease, managing to strip Hogan off his title. However, after the match, the promoter broke his promise and only paid Peter $100, much to the latter’s chagrin. Furious and betrayed, he stormed out of the office, but not before telling his employer that he was no longer working for him. 

Peter hadn’t quite managed to compose himself, even as he walked his way back to his apartment. At the same time, he witnessed a robbery taking place in a nearby convenience store where the staff yelled at him to help him stop the burglar in a rather unpleasant manner. Peter, slightly offended, turned down the staff’s harsh plea, telling him that he should’ve called the cops, instead. Little did he know, the burglar had managed to reach his apartment building, coming across Uncle Ben who’d been out to look after his nephew after failing to contact him for months. By the time Peter arrived, it was too late.

Cops and paramedics had gathered around the entrance of his apartment building. Curious, Peter rushed towards the scene, combing through a sea of people, only to discover that his beloved Uncle Ben had been laying weakly on the paved ground, having swallowed a lethal stabbing wound to the chest. In his final moments, Uncle Ben revealed that he’d always known about Peter’s newfound powers and his attempt to help him and Aunt May with their financial issues through the earnings he received from all of his wrestling matches, subsequently surprising Peter since he’d been hiding them away from both his uncle and aunt. He then told Peter that he had to use his [i]gifts[/i] for the goodness of others, and that “with great power, there must also come great responsibility.” 

After discovering that the same burglar he let go was the culprit behind the death of Uncle Ben, Peter finally learned the hard way that he needed to use his powers responsibly. Driven by remorse and renewed resolve, he devoted himself to combating criminals and helping those in needs under the same “Spider-Man” moniker. Even when maintaining balance between college demands and crime-fighting duty was proven to be difficult at times, Peter had always found enjoyment in what he strived for, believing that it was his destiny to bring hope and joy to the fellow residents of New York City.

I love Spider-Man. Always have been and always will be. He’s one of those fictional characters I hold the closest to my heart. One way or another, he’s always present for me through thick and thin, inspiring me with his stories and making sure that, no matter the obstacles, you can always bet on yourself to overcome them. And it so happens that he’s one of my main Marvel muses outside of this site, so I have a bit of history with writing various versions of the same character, especially the main Peter and Earth-1610 Peter.

So, what can you expect from my Spider-Man? Well, for starters, I’m making a couple of modifications to his origin story. Considering we’ve already had numerous iterations where Peter earned his powers either as a high schooler or a full-grown man, I thought “why not have Peter earned his powers as a college freshman?” There’s barely any adaptations or official AUs I can think of that delves deeper into his college life, let alone using college as his starting point. And since I quite enjoy most of the Spider-Man storylines that took place during the college arc, I thought I wanted to try something slightly different for Peter by aging him up a bit, paying more attention to his college life and the dramas that might come from him having to live two different lives. Inspired by both the Superior Spider-Man comic run and the PS4 game, I also give him a small army of Spider-Bots (AKA Spider-Drones in this storyline) since I figured he might want to keep track of what goes on in the streets all the time when his everyday stuff keeps him away from patrolling around New York City.

As I’m writing my future posts, I’m planning on adapting some of the best Spider-Man storylines from the comics—most particularly from the 70s to 90s—while also approaching new unusual stories never before seen in the comics involving other Marvel and DC characters alike. There are, of course, some of the guys in the roster I hope Peter can interact with along the way, and that includes the names he’s frequently or occasionally encountered in the comics, such as the Future Foundation, Silk, Wolverine, Captain America, Punisher, and even Superman. That said, I hope I can bring the joy of reading Spider-Man comics [s](not including you, One More Day, Sins Past, and Zeb Wells’ Amazing Spider-Man)[/s] through my writings.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]Before he became a notorious assassin, Slade was just a fragile boy who grew up in a rocky household. He often became a subject of abuse by his father who worked as a small-time felon in Gotham City. His mother had never been present, having been beaten up by his father to death when he was only a year old. Even though he’d always wanted to escape from his father, he’d never gotten the chance to. Instead, he continued to endure the torture from his father until he was considered ripe enough to enlist for the US Army at the age of 17. Once a fragile kid, Slade transformed into a gifted soldier, rewarded for his bravery and services in the conflicting areas of the Middle East. During his tenure in the military, he fell in love with a fellow soldier named Adeline Kane—whom he eventually married and had two sons with named Grant and Joseph—as well as befriending a Canadian soldier named David Isherwood and a British soldier named William Randolph Wintergreen. 

Shortly after he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, Slade was appointed by the US Army for a classified experiment. He became a recipient of an enhancement serum that granted him peak physical capabilities and an accelerated healing factor. Though, the serum didn’t come without unexpected side effects, as the moment Slade received the serum, he went feral and mindlessly attacked nearby soldiers and scientists before being neutralized. He ended up passing out for a couple of weeks, but once his consciousness was recovered, he was barely the same man, ever since. He became more aggressive and violent than ever before, often involving himself in numerous physical altercations.

Slade’s life took a much darker twist after the untimely death of his older son Grant and the suicide mission that costed him his right eye. From that moment on, he began questioning the government and—to some degree—humanity as a whole. Taking an early pension, Slade decided to secretly work against the system by becoming a mercenary for hire. He assumed the codename “Deathstroke” after an ancient Scottish sword gifted to him by one of his steadfast comrades during one of their missions. He kept his new profession a secret to his family, managing to hide all traces and reassuring them that he’d worked as a private bodyguard for several wealthy clients across Gotham. As Slade continued to rise through the ranks as a mercenary, he began accepting rescue missions from some of his loyal clients, showing that he still had a fraction of kindness in him.

Now, to be frank, I’ve always been into gritty characters. Deathstroke is one of them, and since I’ve been writing Marvel characters for years, I thought to myself, “why not just write a DC character for once?” After all, I’ve always been a fan of both the red brand [b]and[/b] the blue brand that I can’t really decide which one of them is generally better than the other. I’ve personally always been into characters with personal struggles like Deathstroke. While he isn’t always in the right, I can often sympathize with the fact that he’s never born a [i]psychopath[/i]—unfortunate circumstances [b]forced[/b] him to become one. In this case, Slade the man has been through a lot of ordeals that’s really pushed him to the edge, including getting abused by his father when he was a kid and, most importantly, losing his son. He didn’t become Deathstroke the Terminator overnight, and that’s what I’d like to emphasize in my future writings—that underneath that cold, seemingly heartless exterior lies a wounded soul that’s been through too many wars and conflicts since the second he was born.

When it comes to playing Deathstroke, I have three goals in particular that I’d like to achieve as the storyline progresses. First is to establish Deathstroke as a world class killing machine, second is to flesh out his human side a bit, and lastly, to put some attention to his life outside of becoming a mercenary, most notably in regards to his relationship with his family. If possible, I’m looking forward to loosely adapt a number of comic book storylines that involve Deathstroke, most notably “The War of Jokes and Riddles” and any storyline involving Teen Titans if they ever become a thing in the future. I also have a list of characters I’d like Deathstroke to interact with. Obviously, Batman and his Robin connections are some of them. As for the Marvel side of things, Punisher is totally that guy, considering their similarities and Punisher’s tendency to hunt down felons—and I’d like to believe somebody like Deathstroke still falls into that category, seeing that mercenary is his profession. I can even imagine somebody from Marvel hiring Deathstroke to assassinate the Punisher where it culminates into an intense war of assassins, but hey, it’s better to take things one step at a time, won’t you agree?

In all honesty, while this won’t be the first time that I ever write Deathstroke, this will be the first where I really go in-depth with his character and lore, so feedback will be appreciated. This is an independent take, meaning that there’d be slight deviations or reinterpretations made to both Deathstroke and his origin story. However, both the Prime Earth and the Pre-Crisis counterparts will be the main inspirations for my portrayal. I wish to depict Deathstroke as accurately as possible, and that said, I hope my portrayal can bring justice to the infamous Terminator.
