SPIDER-MAN

Real Name: Peter Benjamin Parker.
Occupation: College student with a chemistry major, freelance photographer, costumed crimefighter.
Identity: Secret.
Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record.
Other Aliases: Spidey, "Tiger" (Mary-Jane's pet name for him), "Web-Head".
Place of Birth: New York City.
Marital Status: Single.
Known Relatives: Ben Parker (uncle, deceased); May Parker (aunt); parents (names unrevealed, deceased).
Group Affiliation: None.
Base of Operations: New York City.
History: Peter Parker was orphaned at a young age when his parents were killed in a terrorist bombing. He was then raised by his loving Aunt May and Uncle Ben in Queens, who raised him as they would have done had he been their own (see Parker, May; Deceased: Parker, Ben). A frail, studious youth with terrible nearsightedness, Peter was picked on and bullied nearly every day throughout middle school and high school, particularly by the school's resident bully, Flash Thompson. His only friend during this period was Harry Osborn, who stood up to Flash and helped Peter gain a modicum of self-respect (see Osborn, Harry; Thompson, Flash).

Following his high school graduation, Peter was accepted into the Undergraduate Bioengineering Program at Empire State University. While on a tour of the labs during his orientation, he was bit by a genetically-engineered spider that had escaped from its cage. This spider was genetically unstable, and transferred some of its own DNA code into Peter's bloodstream, in a manner not unlike that of a retrovirus used in gene therapy. The spider's DNA combined with Peter's, changing him on the genetic level. (Because Peter's DNA was altered in this manner, he does not qualify as a "mutant." Mutant scanners will show him as an anomaly outside the human norm, but not as a true mutant.) A side effect of the spider's changes was the correction of his vision.

At first, Peter attempted to use his powers as an amateur wrestler in order to earn money to supplement his income at college. Tragedy struck one night, however, when a thief stole much of the earnings from the arena. Peter had the opportunity to stop the thief, but did nothing as he felt the thief was beneath his notice. Less than an hour later, he learned that his Uncle Ben had been shot and killed by a carjacker. Trailing the police cars and landing on his uncle's stolen car, he found himself face to face with the same thief he'd let go. At that moment, Peter realized that if he'd acted sooner, his uncle would still be alive. He left the thief unconscious, hanging by his webbing from a lamp-post for the police to apprehend.

Since that time, he has made it a point that no one else was going to die because of his failure to act.
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Eyes: Hazel.
Hair: Brown.
Uniform: Black shirt with a red-with-black-spider-web design on the chest and outside of arms, black pants, large black spider logo on the chest, red cowl and full-face mask with white eyes and a black spider-web design, red with black spider-web design gloves, red with black spider-web design boots, red with black spider-web design belt.
Strength Level: Spider-Man possesses superhuman strength enabling him to lift (press) 10 tons.
Known Superhuman Powers: Because his body was mutated by the genetically-enhanced spider that bit him transferring some of its own DNA into his body, Spider-Man possesses a number of spider-related powers.

Spider-Man's entire physiology was altered by the spider bite. His strength and agility are many times that of a normal person's. His fingers and toes have tiny, microscopic claws which enable him to cling to most surfaces, and his leg muscles have been altered to enable him to leap tremendous distances. This enhanced musculature also gives him a perfect sense of balance.

Perhaps the most extensive change to Spider-Man's physiology is his ability to shoot webbing from his wrists. This webbing is almost identical to the webs created by common household spiders, except that Spider-Man's webbing is much stronger, proportional to that of a man-sized spider. He often travels quickly above the crowded streets of Manhattan by swinging on strands of webbing which attach themselves to lamp-posts and taller buildings. He also uses the webbing to bind criminals he catches in the act. The webbing tends to dissolve into a powder within two hours.

Spider-Man's senses have been enhanced by the spider's DNA merging with his own. Because of this, his reflexes are greatly enhanced. His senses are attuned in such a way that he is able to perceive bullets in flight, enabling him to dodge them if he is far enough away. He also has a type of danger sense, which he calls his "spider-sense", which enables him to detect imminent danger; although the sense does not tell him the nature of the danger, he can tell the severity and immediacy of the danger by how strong the sensation is.
Other Abilities: Peter Parker is a skilled chemist with a solid grounding in other physical sciences. He is also a skilled photographer.

Designer's Notes:
1. Spider-Man's fighting techniques are all Acrobatics-based because he has received no training, formal or informal, in hand to hand combat. Still, his DX 18 and Acrobatics skill of 20 have proven quite formidable.
2. The "terrorist bombing" in which Peter's parents died is alluded to be one of the attacks on the World Trade Center. This may need to be revised as time goes on.

[pawsplay]

I think Spidey does warrant a few extra hit points; he seems to really take some licks, and most versions suggest his muscle density is enhanced. His tendons are certainly more impressive than a normal human's. Also, I'd be inclined to give him Rapier Wit; more realistical versions might have Rapier Wit (Versus opponents with Bad Temper or Berserk only, -80%).

[kidbrock9]

I'm starting at the end and moving backwards, so I probably missed something important, but 13 seems like a VERY low dodge for spiderman who is kind of a dodging ninja.

It's miscalculated, if you include the +6 Dex listed in the advantages, his basic speed becomes 10, making his dodge 17 (10 +3 +3 +1)

[EDIT] Also keep in mind that he would probably make nothing but acrobatic dodges anyway.

[BIGGER EDIT] Ooops, I miscalculated this time. 18+12 =/= 40. Some days I'm just not that bright. I agree, his dodge should be higher than 13.

Well, he's got DX 18, Basic Speed 7.5, Enhanced Time Sense (includes Combat Reflexes), and Enhanced Dodge 3. Plus, take into account that he'd be operating on Defensive Attack and All-Out Defense, for additional bonuses to Dodge (+1 or +2, respectively), and your remark that he'd be making Acrobatic Dodges gives another effective +2 to Dodge. So All-Out Defense (Increased Defense) with Acrobatic Dodge, gives an effective Dodge 17. A Defensive Attack with an Acrobatic Dodge would be a Dodge 16. A straight Attack with Acrobatic Dodge would be a Dodge 15. Quite formidable, if a bit showy. And even a straight Dodge 13 is higher than most of his opponents... and Spidey has taken a number of serious hits during his career; he's not avoiding every blow, just a super-majority of them.

(I'm assuming he's passing all of his Acrobatics rolls, given his skill of 20 in it. We've seen him critically fail those, however, quite spectacularly.)

He's hopeful that she'll join the force's Crime Scene Investigation unit after graduation.

Captain Stacy first encountered the crimefighter Spider-Man when the wall-crawler first fought the criminal Scorpion (see Scorpion; Spider-Man). Stacy was impressed that Spider-Man broke off the fight to save a bystander from injury, and has assisted Spider-Man several times since.

STACY, GWEN

Real Name: Gwendolyn Stacy
Occupation: College student, working on a biochemistry degree.
Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record.
Identity: Gwen Stacy does not use a dual identity.
Other Aliases: "Nerdette" (a nickname given to her by Flash Thompson).
Place of Birth: Queens, New York City
Marital Status: Single.
Known Relatives: George (father).
Group Affiliation: None.
Base of Operations: New York City.
History: Gwen Stacy's early life is largely uneventful. It is known that she attended high school alongside Peter Parker and Flash Thompson, and that her father, police Captain George Stacy, expected her to follow in his footsteps and join the police academy (see Stacy, Captain George; Spider-Man; Thompson, Flash). Gwen, however, enrolled at Empire State University, where her natural intelligence and scientific aptitude led her to major in biochemistry.

Gwen first became involved with Spider-Man's adventures when he enlisted her help in attempting to cure Dr. Curt Connors, the biochem professor at the University, of being the Lizard (see Lizard). Since then, she has aided Spider-Man on several occasions, which has made her father fear for her safety; to alleviate his fears, she has enrolled in a self-defense course offered at the college. These experiences have led her to becoming more self-confident.

Recently, Gwen was critically injured during a confrontation between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin (see Green Goblin). To save her life, Spider-Man performed an emergency blood transfusion, using his own blood. The long-term effects of this transfusion have yet to be recorded.
Height: 5' 7".
Weight: 130 lbs.
Eyes: Blue.
Hair: Blond.
Uniform: None.
Strength Level: Gwen Stacy possesses the normal human strength of a woman her age, height, and build who engages in moderate exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: None.
Other Abilities: Gwen is a gifted biochemist, and is studying the basics of hand-to-hand combat.

Starting Spending Money: $4,000 (20% of Starting Wealth).

* Includes +2 from Physical Scientist.

Designer's Notes:
1. I'm not entirely sure if this Gwen will suffer the same fate as her mainstream and Ultimate Marvel counterparts (and hence kicking off the Clone Saga story arcs with their numerous retcons over the years). Hence the lack of the Dramatic Death perk or of any Destiny disadvantage.
2. While the entry indicates that she is "studying" combat, she has not been studying long enough to have any points invested in combat skills as yet. I would assume that she would gain Boxing (A) DX-1 [1] – 10 or Brawling (E) DX+0 [1] – 11, and Judo (H) DX-2 [1] – 9 at some point in the near future.

THOMPSON, FLASH

Real Name: Eugene "Flash" Thompson
Occupation: College student, attending on a football scholarship.
Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record.
Identity: Flash Thompson does not use a dual identity.
Other Aliases: None.
Place of Birth: New York City.
Marital Status: Single.
Known Relatives: None.
Group Affiliation: None.
Base of Operations: New York City.
History: Eugene Thompson, "Flash" to most of his friends and acquaintances, was the local high school sports star and resident bully. As a child in elementary school, he was friends with Peter Parker, but later became Peter's school nemesis until their senior year. Part of the hostility he exhibited towards Peter was peer pressure – as a "jock", he felt obligated to pick on the "nerds" like Pete. Another part of the hostility was because of a rumor about his nickname – Pete once joked that it wasn't because of Flash's speed as a kid, with implications that greatly embarrassed Flash.

Since graduating high school, Flash has matured greatly. He is currently attending Empire State University on sports scholarships, and has actually renewed his friendship with Pete. Flash is also a fan of Spider-Man's, and although unaware that Pete and Spidey are the same person, has occasionally worn a spare Spider-Man outfit when Spidey and Pete needed to be seen at the same time or when proving that it could be anyone underneath the mask (see Spider-Man).
Height: 6' 2".
Weight: 195 lbs.
Eyes: Blue.
Hair: Reddish blond.
Uniform: None.
Strength Level: Flash Thompson has the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: None.
Other Abilities: Flash is a gifted all-around athlete, with a basic knowledge of hand to hand combat.

Give him brawling instead then. That actually allows him to use punches as well and is just a much better fighting style, especially for the improvised attacks he often uses.

Also, he needs 25+ DX. He is routinely described as the most agile super around. Supers stat 'man-plus' supersoldier types like Captain America at DX 20 and spidey is a fair bit above that. Probably give him higher basic speed and maybe even a level of ATR as well, depending on what era we're statting. Mature 90s and later spidey should have that. If not, then extra attack.

I'd also throw in rapid healing or maybe even regeneration as he does recover quite fast from his wounds and doesn't seem to need much rest to do so. And definitely give him health in the 14-16 range. Also throw in some luck.

That seriously upgrades his powers, but then again spidey can actually duke it out with almost all but the cosmic level ones.
