'Fraid I'm gonna have to bow out -- I didn't anticipate that the deadline would be so soon, and I don't quite have the time to focus on a CS at the moment what with exams and all that. Best of luck though, I'll be reading along for sure.

Altered Physiology – Peter was bitten by a genetically altered spider at OsCorp, catalysing changes in his physiology. Bed-ridden for nearly two weeks with a high fever, he came out the other side with enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, equilibrium and eyesight, among other improvements – such as his ability to cling to walls and other surfaces, and his so-called "spider-sense". He is, for lack of a better term, a human spider.

Artificial Webs – Using his late father’s cursory notes for an abandoned project, Peter developed an ultra-potent adhesive that acts as a versatile and reliable stand-in for organic webs (the absence of which Peter thanks every god for). Shot out of the aptly named, wrist-worn "web shooters", the webs can hold an immense amount of weight, and currently dissolve after three hours.

"Spider-Sense" – Peter’s "spider-sense", as he calls it, is what happens when someone inherits a spider’s highly developed, immensely efficient mechanosensory systems. Its primary mechanoreceptors are trichobothria, exquisitely fine hairs that feel for fluid motion (e.g. airflow) which, at their very limit, operate at the thermal noise of Brownian motion; tactile hairs that respond to less than half a micronewton; and slit sensilla, mechanoreceptory organs that can detect forces as small as 0.01 micronewtons. Peter has inherited these systems, and as a result can: sense touches before they make contact, detect the atmospheric disturbances of an incoming projectile, feel minute vibrations produced by others, respond to the pressure of light, and in theory, feel the collisions of atoms and molecules around him (although sensory blocks have, thus far, prevented him from experiencing such extreme sensitivity to motion). These are just some examples of what his spider-sense can do.

May Parker – Peter’s loving aunt, his mother figure for the majority of his life and the only family he has left. At her core, she cares for people; much like her late husband, she feels a responsibility to help those in need, which she fulfills by volunteering at the Ditko Mission in Hell’s Kitchen.

Gwendolyne Maxine "Gwen" Stacy – Peter’s best friend since fourth grade, Gwen is an academically gifted young woman with a passion for science, love of music and snappy sense of humour. The daughter of a cop, she has a strong sense of justice, with unflinching morals that keep Peter honest.

Harold "Harry" Osborn – Peter’s other best friend, coming to Midtown High in eighth grade after flunking out of private school. Geeky, shy, but headstrong; not at all how you would picture the son of a billionaire.

Mary Jane "MJ" Watson – A childhood friend, Peter hasn’t seen MJ in eight years.

Eugene "Flash" Thompson – A bully, Flash has been the bane of Peter’s schooling existence since fourth grade. Peter doesn’t care much for the guy, but could it be that there’s more to him than chronic asshattery?

Elizabeth "Liz" Allan – Cheerleader and singer. Harry’s had a crush on her for... a while.

Captain George Stacy – Gwen’s father, and the leader of the NYPD’s Major Crimes Squad at One Police Plaza. George is a kind, discerning, and often stern man whose good judgement saw him have many successes as a detective and sergeant before his promotion to captain. Peter’s known him for years, and is quite close with him.

Dr. Otto Octavius – A roboticist and biochemist who runs the Conway Research Laboratory at OsCorp’s Greenwich Village campus alongside Curt Connors.

Dr. Curtis Connors – A biologist and biochemist who runs the Conway Research Laboratory with Dr. Octavius at OsCorp’s Greenwich facilities.

John Jonah Jameson – The owner, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle News Group, which is made up of the online and print newspaper, The Daily Bugle, the twenty-four hour news station, Daily Bugle TV (DBTV), and the celebrity and human interest magazine, Now Magazine. Holds a firm anti-vigilante stance.

Joe "Robbie" Robertson – Managing editor and recruitment manager at the Daily Bugle News Group. A kindly, fair, gentle man; the yin to Jonah's yang.

Norman Osborn – The founder and CEO of OsCorp, Norman is a chemist, geneticist and businessman at heart. He comes across as cold, and occasionally neglectful of Harry. Peter is often witness to tense exchanges between the two, and doesn’t particularly like the man.

Elijah Snow

_{A L I A S}

---

He’s been called many things. Cold bastard. Creepy old goat. Most grandiose, though, is Elijah Snow: Spirit of the Cold.

_{P O W E R S A N D A B I L I T I E S}

---

Spirit of the Cold – Elijah hasn’t aged past his thirties. He controls the cold. He can freeze things. That fluid your brain floats in? It's cerebrospinal ice now. Don't piss him off.

Intelligence – Elijah’s a smart guy, with many (many) years of knowledge to draw from. He’s seen the world, immersed himself in it, and the man that’s come out the other side is one with a dangerous mind.

Wealth – One of the benefits of functional immortality – you have plenty of time to get rich.

Elijah Snow was born a long time ago in the American South, when the world was changing and growing stranger. It was clear from the start that he was different, and it didn’t take long for him to become dissatisfied with simple rural life. He was only a teenager when he left home in search of the extraordinary, of things in the world that just didn’t seem to fit, and that’s how he’s spent his days ever since – on a planetary trek, amassing wealth, knowledge, friends and enemies over the long, long years. He’s seen much of what S.H.I.E.L.D. and C.A.D.M.U.S. have tried to hide from the world, and more still of what they can’t even begin to imagine. He is an archaeologist of mysteries, a historian of the uncanny – the spirit of the cold, ghost of the Metahuman Age – and now, with the advent of the Superman, his purpose is ever clearer.

It’s a strange world. He wants to keep it that way.

_{W H A T M A K E S T H I S C H A R A C T E R " U L T I M A T E " ?}

The high-concept, sweeping premise of Planetary, set in a combined Marvel and DC universe where Planetary… isn’t actually a thing. Elijah’s essentially a solo act, with his role as a Century Baby tweaked to fit a 21^st Century setting. He has no immensely wealthy organisation to back him on his adventures; he simply has his own deep pockets and resourcefulness, both gained over the course of a very long life. He’ll be interacting with the Ultimate One Universe’s strangest, most spectacular phenomena, uncovering conspiracies and documenting the hidden, emergent history of the world we’re all creating. Elijah’s an old, functionally immortal man, so taken by the wonders of the world that he hasn’t yet realised his true purpose might be to save it.

Jakita Wagner – Badass.

The Drummer – Technopath.

Ambrose Chase – Physics distortionist.

Jenny Sparks – Spirit of technology.

Jack Hawksmoor – God of cities.

Jay Garrick – Former speedster.

John Stone – Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

J'onn J'onzz – Martian.

Nick Fury – Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Amanda Waller – Director of C.A.D.M.U.S.

Henry Bendix – Director of Stormwatch, S.H.I.E.L.D. and C.A.D.M.U.S.’s sister organisation, concerned not with domestic or international security, but rather, protection from the billions of stars that surround the Earth. The public doesn’t know of Stormwatch’s existence.

The Strange, Strange World – The world is a strange, ever-changing place. There are always new things to discover, old things to uncover – and with them come people, new and old. The people listed above are not the only ones Elijah will run into... and this world won’t be the only one he sets foot on.

@GreenGrenade ayy, we'll know the last time each other were last online now. :D

@Ruby

Ayyyyyy

Nightrunner's Comic Book Discussion Thread

@Nightrunner That was a pretty neat read, man. I've only read snippets of Snyder's Batman, so this might encourage me to try and catch his entire run. I have a few titles and characters I'd be keen to talk about here, but I'm a bit undecided on who or what to run with first, lol. I'll definitely be back here, though. You can never have enough places to nerd out in.
