[@Neziul] I dig the changes. Puts me in the mind of Goliath from the Council of Spiders in the pre New52 Red Robin series. I like the inclusion of Dr. Poison as well. Just remember if he fought WW, its a version of WW mixed with the Gods & Monsters version so she's more like a New God than a traditional Amazonian. They're still fierce and female, but now they possess Motherbox tech and teleportation capabilities. 

EDIT: Just saw you had Goliath in the top of the CS and I completely missed it LOL

I was going to say "it sounds like you're picking up what I'm putting down," lol. But yeah, I knew I wanted to make Tarantula into a man-spider akin to Goliath (only more spidery), but keep the good guy personality. So I was looking for a way to induce the transformation. Then I read about how Dr Poison made Richard Agoras have random transformations into a giant spider monster who would fight WW, and so I just threw it all into the same stew. 

Now I'm not too familiar with Gods and Monsters or New Gods. Like at all. But if that means WW is now a God-tier WMD of a superhero then I think we can safely rely on the old comic book trope of heroes becoming inexplicably more powerful when they turn to the dark side to explain away how he was able to keep up with her in a fight. 

Because what I'm thinking is that Dr Poison made him a monster for the purpose of defeating Wonder Woman and hoping theat he would catch her in a web for the classic villainous reason of capturing a superhero as a part of an ev8l scheme. And I figured the explosion could have damaged him so bad or caused him to bump his head or destroyed a device or whatever so that the mind control wore off.
