Working on a reply now, hope you don't mind me kinda "controlling everyone" in a sense. James is gonna make a small plan and it goes through, but what happens during it is totally up to you guys to make in your next posts!

Agent Spider

Name: Richard "Richie" Parker
Age: 17
Appearance:

Civilian

Agent Spider

Years in the Academy: 5
Ancestors: Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
Powers/Abilities:

Powers

Organic Webbing Generation: Richard's mutation seemed to be stronger than his grandfather's. They don't know if it's because it skipped a generation with him or if he's a mutant and his x-gene enhanced the Spider abilities within him. Richard is able to generate his own webs from his wrist. He doesn't need to press down on it but does it most of the time just because he feels like it.
Wall-Crawling: As it goes Richard can do whatever a spider can and that includes climbing walls. Though this power isn't just limited to climbing walls. It allows him to stick onto mostly anything. He's the current champion at Keep Away. Richard blames his strengthened mutation for this but sometimes he's unable to control this and he'd touch something and randomly stick to it in most of the time a comedic way. The accidental sticking fortunately doesn't work on organic beings so he fortunately hasn't ripped someone's skin off on accident. Though he could do it on purpose if need be.
Super Strength: Due to having his powers since he was very young Richard's strength exceeds his grandfather's at his age and he's not even in his prime yet. He's worked to increase his strength by physical weight training because he knew there'd come times when he'd need to be stronger to take down an enemy or save people. He has to however hold back usually severely against weaker enemies and sometimes in moments of excitement his strength gets the better of him.
Superhuman Speed: Richard is capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Stamina: Richard's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him.
Superhuman Durability: Richard's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. He can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.
Superhuman Agility: Richard's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
Healing Factor: Richard has a low-level rapid healing factor. While not on the same level as a mutant with regeneration capabilities, it is sufficiently powerful enough to recover from severe injuries from broken bones and large amounts of tissue damage in a matter of hours.
Contaminant Immunity: Due to his accelerated metabolism, Richard has a higher tolerance for drugs and diseases than normal humans, and he can recover from the effects of larger doses rapidly. This fortunately or unfortunately(depending on who you ask) doesn't affect the effects of cannabis and alcohol on him. So he's still able to have a fun time.
Superhuman Equilibrium: Richard possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.
Superhuman Reflexes: Richard's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about forty times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, given sufficient distance.
Spider-Sense: Richard possesses an extrasensory "danger" or "spider" sense which warns him of potential immediate danger by the manifestation of a tingling sensation in the back of his skull, and links with his superhuman kinesthetics, enabling him to evade most any injuries, unless he cognitively overrides his automatic reflexes. Sometimes his Spider-Sense goes off when there's no danger around and it causes him to sometimes second guess it which could prove a danger to himself. With enough training he'll be able to use his spider-sense to track certain radio frequencies like his grandfather could.
Genius Level Intellect: Richard inherited more than his powers from his grandfather. He also inherited his brain. He's a certified genius and has shown to have his IQ increasing more and more as he gets older. It's unsure of how smart he'll come to be.
Skilled Combatant: Richard was taught the Way of the Spider by both his father and grandfather. And although his father never inherited the powers he was still taught how to defend himself like a spider. It didn't take Richard long to master and put his own spin into the style. He however has not mastered any other forms of martial arts. He was told to learn them on his own so that he could grow into his own person. He has learned to fight more since joining the Academy but hasn't mastered another form.

Bio: Life for a rich boy with weird powers? Never easy. Richard's story begins when he was born about a year before New Hydra stepped on the scene. Instead of cutting off the serpent's head why doesn't anyone step on it with a giant shoe? Anyway. Richard was born to Ben "Benjy" Parker and his wife. He was named after his great grandfather. Ben didn't inherit his father's powers but his son did. If anyone asked he'd say that he didn't really want them to begin with. Richard's powers started to develop at the age of four. Even then they could tell that his powers were innately stronger than his grandfather's. Because of this they had a suspicion that he was also born a mutant with the added mutate from the radioactive spider bite passed down to him. They decided not to confirm their suspicions due to New Hydra's campaign against mutants. They felt it better to not know than to put him in even more jeopardy by finding out.

Time went on and Richard progressed further in his learning and in his powers. His development was exceeding what they had imagined for him. At age eleven he mastered the Way of the Spider and decided to crawl around the city testing his powers as a low level street vigilante named Agent Spider. He wasn't big on getting in the lime light quite yet. His first month was bad. Even with his training he had trouble and once his father found out what he was doing he asked Mayday to watch over Richard and have him as her sidekick. Working with his aunt made things easier for him but it also helped him learn a lot about what it was meant to be a hero. When he first started working alongside her he was given a necklace with a spider emblem. All he had to do was press the emblem and it formed into his costume. Way easier than hiding it in a backpack or under his clothes.

When he was twelve Tony Stark approached him with an offer to join his Academy for up and coming young heroes. Richard didn't hesitate at the offer. There wasn't much regular school could teach him and the thought of learning at the school Tony created was what really intrigued him. The things he could learn and create while studying there was his selling point. He joined the school and it didn't take long for him to become one of the best students there. Even if he didn't always show up to class. During the times school was out he went home to New York to websling with his aunt again and help her out. Each time he came back she always talked about how much he progressed since the last time.

This is now his second year in the Next Avengers program though he took a small leave of absence to help Miles train Ben Poole while also receiving training there himself. He didn't want to get rusty and let the Junior Captain think he was better than him. It didn't take long and he rejoined the school when Tony invited Ben to the school. Now the new year is starting and he's ready to web things into gear.

Family/Relationships?: Ben Poole: Richard helped train him while also training alongside him. They aren't really close but he considers him family due to the Spider legacy.
Weapons: N/A
Personality: Richard may be really smart but he isn't a nerd. Well, he doesn't consider himself one at least. When it comes to school and things that don't hold his interest he's really lazy and rushes through it so that he can get it over with. In regular Academy classes he's seen staring at the ceiling if he even decided to show up that day. He's a flirt but not overly so. In his time in the Academy he hasn't had any long term girlfriends and mostly had flings but he's hoping to change that. Richie jokes a lot an even gave himself the added nickname of Rich to Richie so others wouldn't make the joke first. Most of the time when he's joking is in action just like his grandfather though he does it to hide how unsure he is of himself. It's why he chose not to up the mantle of Spider-Man. At least not now at least. He's afraid he wouldn't be able to live up to the name. Though he knows one day it'll come a time where he has to. He cares about his friends and would do anything for them. Even to the point of putting himself in harm's way in training exercises. His father said that would get him killed one day but he reminded him that it was his great responsibility to protect others.
Other: Richard is in line to take over his family's company.
He has a secret love for comic books despite living the life of those in them. He wants to one day make his own. He hasn't told anyone this.

Here's my character. If anyone wants to work on a friendship with him I'm willing.

[Jones Sparrow]

If anything needs to be changed in my recent post, just let me know! I didn't meant to take the control out of anyone's hands!

@King Kindred

very interesting! I'm interested in seeing how he'll feel about Ben Poole and his suit haha

welcome aboard!

[TalijaKey]

Well Vix is watching the breakfast cafeteria show thanks to people loving to record and tweet about everything. And she is sharing it with Annabelle for entertainment.

I as well updated a bit her profile with relations.

@King Kindred Considering Vix isnt organic, there could very well have been a situation he sticked to her. Want to work on that or another idea?

[King Kindred]

@TalijaKey Yeah I could see that happening and being funny. I'm about to go to bed but you can PM me about it.

[TalijaKey]

@King Kindred Sleep well, sended the pm but answer it tomorrow. ^^

[pyroman]

Hey, would you guys like to PM me and maybe work out how Charlotte would get along with all of your characters? Not even she can get away with being friendless for four years.

[alexfangtalon]

Almost done making my character. Got severely sidetracked but just to get your tastebuds tingling his uncle is TaskMaster.

[alexfangtalon]

Apologizing for double post, but I have a question and need to mention someone even though they are the GM. I've got three options to choose from and would like some input.

Option 1

Well, I'm gonna keep the TaskMaster as his uncle in all options the thing I'm asking about is who his parents are. This option would just be that when TaskMaster takes him and he loses his memory of them through something in his history that I shall not divulge yet.

Option 2

This one is where he remembers and his father is Sabretooth who has turned into a better person after the big war. TaskMaster still ends up taking my character at some point.

Option 3

Instead of Sabretooth being his father X-23 is his mother. *Side note- If I go with this one my character will appear 20 when in reality he will be a little bit older. He wouldn't know this though due to TaskMaster's influence.

Now to tag @Jones Sparrow because the characters in Options 2 and 3 are both close to Wolverine in some way. What do you think?

[Jones Sparrow]

@alexfangtalon

All these options are really cool!

Option 2 and 3 would be really interesting to me personally since it would mean that your character and mine would somewhat be "related" in some way (if we want to go with the movie adaption of Sabretooth and Wolverine to be brother at least)!

[alexfangtalon]

@Jones Sparrow I'm starting to think that I would definitely want to do 2 or 3. I also realized I can take liberties with the age of X-23 since in the movie Logan she is gonna be a little girl. That way my character can definitely be 20 rather than actually being older.

Both options have big pulls to them for me. With Sabretooth people would highly likely know the people he is related to and would look down on him since both his father and his uncle who 'raised' him were both villains. And yeah I'd definitely be using the version of Sabretooth where they are brothers.

With X-23 I just really like the character a LOT and she is the clone of Wolverine so that would also make interactions between mine and your character either volatile, awkward, or just plain weird. Volatile would be because of how my character would see yours.

[Jones Sparrow]

@alexfangtalon

I completely agree with you

I saw the Logan Trailer and had geeky tears in my eyes when I realized who that little girl was XD

Honestly its up to you, my friend! Both would be really cool to play around with, and there will absolutely be awkward moments with the two with whatever choice you make haha

[Jones Sparrow]

((GM double post because I have ultimate power!))

I was also trying to think who our "Next Avenger" Teacher would be, and @TalijaKey mentioned it in her last IC haha! There's a lot of possibilities, but I really liked the idea of Hank Pym (AKA Ant-Man) teaching us!

[alexfangtalon]

@Jones Sparrow SCOTT LANG!

(Sorry) He my favorite Ant-Man. Honestly, Hank just annoys the crap out of me. Also to note I really like Stature who whenever I play a canon Marvel character tends to be her.

Raptor A.K.A. Alex Kinney

Name: Alex Kinney

Age: 20

Appearance:


Years in the Academy: 7

Ancestors: TaskMaster is his Uncle. X-23(Laura Kinney) is his mother. He does not know his father due to the man dying when he was young; however, this man is the link to TaskMaster.

Powers/Abilities:

Photographic Reflexes = Alex has the ability of Photographic Reflexes. He wasn't born with this ability but due to his healing factor his uncle, TaskMaster, took him and began testing on him. TaskMaster tested to see if he could implant his own ability within the boy, and it worked. Alex now can copy any physical action that his body could naturally do. However, due to not naturally being born with this ability Alex can 'forget' how to do the move if he doesn't work to ingrain it into his muscle memory.

Superhuman Longevity = Just like most with a healing factor Alex also has a superhuman level of longevity. This causes him to just like Wolverine and X-23 from whom he has DNA of to age slower during his young adult years and further on.

Regenerative Healing Factor = Alex has a very strong healing factor due to having DNA of Wolverine and X-23. When TaskMaster did tests on the young boy he did something to increase the power at which Alex's body and mind can recover. It has not been attempted, but before TaskMaster escaped he mentioned that he believed that Alex had a better healing factor than Wolverine.

Animalistic Instincts = Similar to Wolverine and X-23 Alex has heightened senses in the form of various animals. He has faster reflexes, stronger sense of smell, better eyesight, and an innate sense of incoming danger. Alex has yet to train these senses to their peak potential so as of right now they feel more of a nuisance until he fully understands what he is sensing.

Hyper Speed = The only ability that Alex can call his own is his speed. Not quite the levels of those such as Quicksilver, but still faster than the average human if only a few MPH's higher. TaskMaster estimated that if he trained his speed that Alex could quite possibly reach Mach 1, but so far Alex has maxed out at 48 MPH.

A side note is that Alex is fairly intelligent. This is primarily because TaskMaster drilled various lessons into the boy's mind. He learned a lot and retain nearly all of it.

Bio: At a young age Alex's life began fairly normal. His father died when he was young so he only knew of his mother Laura as his family. At the time he didn't even know her link to Wolverine or about her powers. Once his abilities started to show themselves she told him everything. It was a lot for a seven year old to take in, but it caused him to have a strong desire to help people.

Unfortunately, within the next year TaskMaster showed up. Still using the name Tony Masters he told the young Alex that he was the young boys uncle having been the brother of his dead father, the last person that had been living who knew Taskmaster's true identity. When Laura found out TaskMaster had shown up she forbid Alex to interact with him. Unfortunately, there was nothing either could do to stop TaskMaster from following out his plans.

The man kidnapped Alex and took him to an old Weapon X facility. There he performed various tests on Alex implanting DNA in him and altering the already preexisting DNA. He taught the boy various things and began attempting to brainwash him. This was very difficult due to the boys healing factor. It took nearly three years, but Laura along with a few other superheroes eventually found the location where TaskMaster had been hiding the boy. TaskMaster had been outside the facility when the heroes showed up and therefore got away.

All of this harshly affected the young boy. A close watch was kept on him after he and his mother moved to Xavier's School in order to keep him safe. Eventually Alex got sick of being stuck in the same place and he tried to run away. He was easily caught by Wolverine who came up with a compromise of placing him in the Avengers Academy. Laura was scared to part ways with her son when TaskMaster was still at large, but she realized that he should be safe with the Avengers close by rather than him continuously trying to run away. Alex only agreed as long as they kept his identity as secret as possible which was agreed to.

Family/Relationships?: friends and family, romantic interests, etc. optional!

Weapons: Since TaskMaster planned on working alongside Alex and rebuilding his crime syndicate he used his leftover connections to get Alex a Vibranium-Adamantium alloy Ninjato and a small collapsible Kendo Stick.

Personality: To most Alex appears cold and standoffish, but those who know him well realize he is just a quiet guy. He can seem rude but that is only because he is very direct and rarely lets bias change how he deals with things unless he REALLY dislikes someone like his uncle. He is fiercely loyal and if someone hurts or wrongs someone he cares about he will defend them, but he rarely defends himself. He really wants to help others but doesn't feel as if he will be any real help.

Other: Has an overbearing desire for revenge against TaskMaster.
