NytefallSkallagrim, just an alert that the Clockwork Man has through story means gained access to the Clockwork Spider again, this is its details.
Clockwork Spider
The new and improved Clockwork Spider still resembles the animal it was named after. Roughly 12 inches in diameter, and now cloaked in fancy new Elmorium metal, it’s significantly more durable. Inside however, is where the real magic occurred. George had his Mystan allies provide him with a computerized A.I functionality for his little machine, allowing it to access technology George himself has trouble with. (High futuristic tech, George being from a steampunk world as he is has had limited experience with computers and their predecessors.) He did this for reasons which will be explained in the story, but essentially it gives the spider the ability to physically hack into more impressive and futuristic technology through technological means, rather than with magic like George has to.
On top of durability and A.I, the Clockwork Spider can now inject foes with Elmorium, causing it to spread as the Clockwork Man wills like a parasite, but only through other metals. This can give him limited control over sections of other people’s metallic objects, though this form of Elmorium is unstable and only ‘coats’ the things effected, causing them to be slowed or damaged, and after a short period of time it falls away like a dry coating of mud completely useless. It also retained the ability to electrocute foes with a powerful shocking attack from its mandibles, though now it’s more akin to being struck by lightning, which can be lethal.
It can move across any surface, like a real spider, it's powered by the magic which sustains the Clockwork Man, which is why it remains immobile charging most of the time. It's max speed is roughly 50mph, and it has the ability to stick to metallic structures with magnetic fixtures on its feet.

Where's your post for Mystique anyway Khan? Don't want the Clockwork Man locked up doing nothing, but I have nothing to work with when your character is still technically in some in-between realm.
Yeah, considering it's mid-afternoon in the center of the earth.
Now that the mild inconvenience in the form of a giant bear was to Fury’s mind dealt with, he could return to the matter at hand. Settling into a half crouch, right leg back left shoulder forward, his muscles bunched and tenses with energy rocketing around his form. He was facing the region he saw the General fly off into, and was tracking his ZPE through the air, so he knew he could meet him. However, Fury noted his movement almost before the General was moving, and despite the significant speed with which the Hero of Earth moved Fury was able to answer his charge with one of his own.
The Fireen bounced forward and up at an angle, driving himself into the air and towards the General. Despite his arrogance, Fury had to admit that presently his foe was both stronger and faster than him, and so something more than brute force was required. Unfortunately, he was given less than adequate time to think of a solution, as he barrelled through the hastily thrown energy beam of the General in a less than satisfactory condition, the fiery heat of it shearing away half the armour on his right shoulder and breaking through his shield. He felt the burn, but Fury was not one to be halted by pain alone.
Therefore, the General slammed directly into him with a force equal to both of their respective speeds combined, something in excess of one thousand mph. Fury’s breath left him as energy leapt to strengthen his body, preventing it from being crushed by the titanic impact. Energy blasted in all directions haphazardly, blowing up most of the room and sending chairs and tables flying through every window.
Slammed back by the force of the Hero’s charge, but still locked in his tackle, Fury regained his composure enough to make the most of a terrible situation. The General had knocked him back as they flew through the air and out of the building itself, but if he intended to drop the Fireen or not was unimportant as Fury attempted to draw both his arms around the human’s body and tighten his grip to its maximum crushing potential. He clung beneath him, aiming to either break his ribs through sustained force, or to drain enough of his energy that he had to stop, giving Fury time to break free and make his own moves again.

That fucked up jumble of text for the last few pages was hilarious to read.
Probably just maintain what we already have, unless one person is incapacitated or out of range.
FOR SHAME GOOD SIR.
That's all.
That's all.
Also, because you favor guns for -winning- its already been made fairly apparent you're not interested in the main point of Arena, which is to make compelling narrative surrounding fights. For shame.
Khan is right, when you're dealing with super-humans its incredibly difficult to bring them down with a gun. Think about how many super-heroes/villains are killed by pistols.
And honestly ASTA, you've already been asked to leave if you have a problem numerous times, that argument isn't going to have anyone jumping out of their seats to meet your requirements. I don't know what RP's you've been in where the GM has to have some kind of argument for why you can't have a character you've decided on in -THEIR- RP, but I'd honestly love to see you try and drag someone's 'name through the dirt' as you suggest, that would be downright hilarious.

Don't like the sound of being instantaneously destroyed, what stops the character from just putting it in front of a charging enemy and sealing it?
