The stats for this game will include:

I.Q. - (how strong your characters are mentally, for example Brainiac would have a pretty high I.Q. where a rookie's would be less. Average human/alien would be 2.)

Strength - (1-5 has -1 damage, 6-10 has -2 damage) Average human strength would be set at 2, only characters with heightened or super strength should increase higher! EDIT: However, one could view your strength as the strength of your attacks!

Speed - (1-3 has 3 attacks per post, 4-7 has 4 attacks available, 8-10 has 5 attacks)

Attack - (number of attacks) Each player will have melee attacks that are not included on your attack stat including basic punches and kicks and alien tail swipes or bites. Attack is for things like heat vision, throw, generic super speed attack, etc...

Defense - (number of defense moves, each can be used twice per battle. If your defense is 2 and the battle lasts 4 posts you can use 4 defense moves. If the battle rages on for 7 posts you are still limited to only 4 defensive moves total in that case. Defense can't block a signature attack!)

Health - (IQ+strength+speed+defense)

*Signature moves awarded at Level 3 do double damage. The attack itself should include your powers/abilities. The only defense against a signature attack is a signature defense that can also be a move based on your powers/abilities. Signature Defense is also the only defense you can use to help another player directly in-game from an enemy attack be it a regular attack or signature attack! At the moment you can only have one or the other, Signature Attack or Signature Defense.

Now... that's not a lot of info at all really. As far as stats go, I know once you have 6 points on strength some of you might ask "what's the point of having strength or speed any higher?" and the simple answer is writing limitations. If a character like Superman has 6 strength and a God like Zeus walks by with a strength of 8, in the context of the story Zeus would of course be viewed as stronger. Same thing applies for speed.

Power Class - you earn a stat point/level for every 5 posts in-character.

Level 1 - 16 points - 1-5 posts
Level 2 - 17 points - 6-10 posts
Level 3 - 18 points (plus signature attack or defense!) - 11-15 posts
Level 4 - 19 points - 16-20 posts
Level 5 - 20 points - 21-25 posts
Level 6 - 21 points - 26-30 posts
Level 7 - 22 points - 31-35 posts
Level 8 - 23 points - 36-40 posts
Level 9 - 24 points - 41-45 posts
Level 10 - 25 points 46-50 posts

If the game lasts long enough, and it might, we'll go beyond Level 10 and probably continue on to Level 15. Boss stats will be Level 15 to Level 20 with stats between 30-35 points making a team effort to defeat the enemy a must. To show me you've read/understand most of this, at the top of your CS applications write 'Stan Lee' so I know you've got everything down for the most part.

Powers -

Spider Symbiote: Peter is currently in possession of a Spider-Symbiote called Venom. It is the source of his powers. Powers including:
- Wall Crawling: Spider-Man has the amazing ability to cling to walls with his bare hands and feet, thanks to his suits ability.
- Superhuman Strength: Has the proportional strength of a spider, allowing him to lift close to 5 tons over his head.
- Superhuman Agility: His body is easily able to contort in ways that would break most peoples spines, he is also able to move fluidly and quickly with precision, with the added ability that he can easily balance almost perfectly on any surface.
- Spider-Senses: His almost magical and precognitive ability to predict when he is in danger. When it starts tingling, this means that he is in immediate danger.
- Spider-Memories: His Spider contains memories of those that wielded the spider before him. It's how he can fight so well, his fighting style is instinctual
- Webspinning: His suit naturally creates webbing from the wrists that he can shoot.
- Frenzy: Can potentially frenzy, where he turns into a large monstrous form. in this form, he is stronger and faster, but is completely out of control. This is what happens if he is in peril grave enough that he might actually be killed. It's a final resort of self preservation by the suit. Escape by any means necessary...

Weaknesses -

Without his suit on, he is as vulnerable as any other human. His only power without his suit is his Spider-Senses.
Pesticides are deadly to him. a whiff of Raid will send him into anaphylactic shock, whilst anything stronger is potentially fatal.
Ultrasonic frequency sound can disrupt communication between him and the suit, as well as send him into a potential frenzy. They can also be used to force him out of the frenzy. Blasted strongly enough and it can destroy the suit entirely.

Personality - Cocky, Reserved, Intelligent.
Experience - His Spider-Memories grant him almost a millenia of combat experience. Although he hasn't had time to properly integrate it yet, so for the moment, he has about a month of experience.
Appearance -



BRIEF Bio - Peter Parker had a fairly standard childhood, growing up under the care of his Aunt May and Uncle Ben. Although he knew his parents, they were both very busy with their work and he rarely saw them. Maybe one weekend a month... And then one month, they didn't come, and the next month, and the next... Then one day, after school, his Uncle Ben sat him down and told him that his parents weren't coming back again.

As he grew, he latched onto science. He loved the idea of experimenting. For christmas on his 9th birthday, he got a science kit, and after he singed off his eyebrows in his first experiment, he never looked back. He was always last in gym, though, and was bullied a lot by people like Flash Thompson. About a month ago, he went to a nightclub, the first time he had ever tried something like it, there, he met the girl next door, Mary Jane. And for the first time ever, they actually talked like people. Normally, he would just stand in a stunned silence as she talked at him. But now he was talking to her like he would any other person, she eventually left with her friends to go to a party that he, naturally, was NOT invited to, but he didn't care. Walking home, he was on top of the world. Then, as he turned the corner into his street, he saw the multitude of police cars gathered around his house. He was told that there had been a burglary... And his Uncle had been shot dead. He went insane, he charged out into the street, screaming at the top of his lungs. Life had given him one thing he wanted, only to take away something else. It wasn't fair, nothing was fair, he wanted revenge, he wanted it SOOOOO badly... Badly enough.

As he collapsed to his knees in an alleyway, he heard a comforting voice. It asked if he wanted his revenge. He replied yes. He suddenly fell, falling for what seemed like hours. He finally hit the ground harmlessly. He then looked around. All he could see was pitch black, until finally, he saw a table, at the table, an old woman sat in a web-like chair. She explained what she was, a being with no concept of time that had been making champions of justice for the world. She saw that he was a good man that could be even greater if he accepted her gift. She produced for him a bowl of black sludge, and told him to cleanse his sins in the bowl. He dipped his hands in and the sludge began running up his arms and into his eyes.

He awoke face down in the alleyway. He must have passed out and had some crazy nightmare... Someone must have spiked his drink, now to go home and... He then saw his hand... A black fabric covered it, a voice whispered in his ear that he was perfectly safe, but it was time to prove himself worthy of the Spider. It seemed like instinct, he webbed up to the roof, before following a police chase to a warehouse, where he found the burglar that had killed his uncle. He easily subdued the man and looked into his frightened eyes. He heard a voice telling him that this was a test. That his actions would determine if he was worthy of the spider. He wanted to kill the man so very badly. But... He knew that his Uncle wouldn't want it. He dropped the man. He told the spider that he didn't want this power if it would ask him to kill people. He webbed the man up and left him fort he police, before leaving. He jumped out the window and landed in Madame Webs parlour again. She told him that he had passed.

He is now grieving for the loss of Uncle Ben, but takes consolation in the fact that his loss has been the gain of everyone else in new york.
Key Differences - A complete re-imagining that I've had in mind for a while, these are the key differences:

1) Spider-Man was not bitten by a radioactive spider. Instead, he was recruited to become a Spider by Madame Web.
2) Venom is a part of him. It serves as his weapon, the source of his powers, and his mentor.
3) He is not the first Spider-Man. The Spider-Man is a legend that stretches back centuries.
