So, we know that Spider-properties are going to be the most coveted. It's something we considered and, while we don't want this to have the "Gotham" problem of everyone being from the same franchise, we're also not saying there can only be one Spider swinging around. This RP also isn't a "fresh" setting, so there can be experienced heroes and legacy characters around. 

Which means, yes, Eddie Brock/Venom is fair game in a vacuum. If, for instance, we already had a handful of Spider-characters accepted, though, and then we received an app for another, we would be much less inclined at that point. 

Does that make sense?
