Honestly your Cindy has been great to read. I would always say don't make another character just because everyone else is.

@Sep

Thanks! I guess I am more a writer that likes to get in someone’s head more than anything else. I really do need to improve on descriptive writing to paint the scene better though.

Anyway, @Lord Wraith, what’s your take on letting people write as another character in a collab style post? They wouldn’t have to make the character official or anything. They can just be asked to play the character for an exchange. That way too people can dip their toes in other characters a little if they feel up to it but don’t have to go any further than that. It also helps fill the gaps a little with what people would like to do with stories like needing someone to play a villain. Even no need to make a support character sheet?

I guess as well, what if someone wants to temporarily play a character to help give someone’s story someone else to bounce off of? Like someone playing Doom for a bit or someone playing Black Cat for a bit. Oh! Especially in collab posts!

I was also just going to take a look. I’ve been playing around with having a second character for awhile but I haven’t felt attached to any one idea after looking. The only character I’ve really given thought to is Cindy and there is a lot I want to do with her so no worries about me burning out here.

@Cybermaxx

I do want to make a villain and antagonize you all at some point so I’ll look into potential Fantastic Four villains.

If you say Black Cat loud enough, a certain three-lettered individual will eventually show up.

@Retired

You’re already missing the discord messages where I badger her about playing Felicia. She’s going through a thang.

It is a bit premature as the current IC storyline isn't complete but with Silk being moved to the Driving spot, I have had a few ideas in mind. I will, of course, have Cindy shadow Spider-Man during his Sinister Six storyline, but here are a few for I have in mind. I really would like someone to play Black Cat though. I have a lot of ideas in mind as it seems like Silk's storyline is tied up a lot with Black Cat's both as friends and foes.

The Mask Lifted

The most important next step to Cindy's story is her realizing that superheroes are just people making sacrifices like what she could be doing. Like she is willing to do. It'll come more as a surprise to her when she discovers the super villain in this arc, Dragonclaw, isn't evil personified like she was always lead to believe. Can villains be properly rehabilitated if given the right help?
Spider-Man, Captain America, Dragonclaw, other NYC heroes

The First of Nine Lives

Silk branches out on her own and tries to do what Peter never could: Take Black Cat down. For far too long, Spider-Man has let Black Cat go due to some mutual understanding, but that created a shadow over NYC where Felicia's activities have gone unchecked, and she might just be ambitious enough to expand. In the first act of nine, however, Cindy can't help but feel like she is being strung along...
Black Cat, Spider-Man, Spider-Verse villains

"Hey, where'd all those alien freaks go?"

Cindy snapped her attention away from the dusty but very much alive crowd of people and onto Superboy as he hovered up near her. He raised a good point and her heart dropped, realizing that there was still a war host down the street, rampaging through Brooklyn. She squinted, following Superboy's gaze to come to the same conclusion. Her own enhanced eyes could see the distant plume of purple smoke and make out the large whale-like creature that lay crumpled on the street. The aliens were defeated by something or someone and wouldn't hurt anyone else. She was relieved, her smile returning under that threaded mask as she turned back towards Superboy. He had to happy, too...

"Damn it, I had that! Who..."

Cindy's smile faltered. That wasn't the reaction she had expected. She again followed his gaze to see the distant ship being torn apart by other heroes. It should have been a sweet victory, but she could read the room. It was clear something was bothering Superboy, like he was not happy with...

"That oughta be me. I oughta be up there, not stuck with-"

Her. Cindy's head shrunk into her shoulders and her eyes dropped. He had held his tongue right at the last moment, but she knew what he wanted to say. If that wasn't the social cue, it was certainly the silent side-eye glanced back in her direction. He tried to cover what was left unsaid, but she knew. Her lack of understanding and experience made her a hindrance. She slowed Superboy down and probably prevented him from being as effective as he could be. He was just being nice to her to let her help up to this point, like the team captain letting the bench player out for a couple of plays. However, that had a limit and Cindy agreed, she was costing lives, not helping them by playing a hero. She wasn't one and probably wasn't welcomed with everybody else.

"Oh.. uh.. I can get there. It's fine!" Cindy tried to recover, replying with a false earnest and a pretty bad attempt at a smile. His offer was just a polite way to suggest she take a hint. She understood, loud and clear. "I will just check to make sure everyone is alright over there, so you can go on."

She never stood a chance to be a superhero.

If that's what ya wanna do, you can just write supes flying her over in your next post. Otherwise he's headed off to join Raven and GL.

@Cybermaxx

Now you did it Superboy. Being a bit of a high school loser, Cindy will probably see this as one of those situations where she sees herself a “burden” and will pick the “Oh that’s fine...” but secretly be hurt inside about route.

Multiversal Mayhem Edition: Silk #1.3

The significance of what Cindy was doing here hadn't quite hit her yet. Yes, she was saving people and that was great, but by assisting Superboy, a media darling, she was likely crossing the point of no return. People were recording this, through their phones and whatever followed Superboy around during the nightly news recaps. She had always wondered if they were staged, since how could there be a covenant camera everywhere this guy went?

Guess that didn't matter. She was a 'thing' now, a superhero that was going to get a name and the fact that she was Spider-themed would lead people to start talking. Who was this Spider-Girl, and how was she related to Spider-Man? A daughter? A lost sister? A secret love? The latter made Cindy's head spin and cheeks blush just thinking about it. No, she wasn't related to Spider-Man and with all the good and respect he has earned, she didn't deserve to tarnish that by adopting a similar moniker.

"No." Cindy abruptly replied, shaking her head at the mention of calling her Spider-Girl. She took one look at her arm, silken spider string wrapped around for her costume. "I'm Silk." She really needed a better costume if she was going to try and fill that void Spider-Man left. This one had served its purpose.

"Oh..." She had forgotten who she was talking to, but could he really hold the landmass of Brooklyn? Aaah focus! People. Saving. Up to her. The superhero now known as Silk, nodded enthusiastically, a smile hidden behind her web half mask. She was relieved that someone else made the call on what to do. It somehow felt easier to shoulder the burden of what she was about to. "I'll be fast!"

She scampered up to the next story and climbed through a broken window to get to work. The first thing that Cindy noticed was that the smoke was blinding, she couldn't keep her eyes open for long, the hot fumes drying her eyes too quickly. At least she had her Spider-Sense, laying out an instinctual map of the building. She could do this with her eyes closed if she wanted, letting a series of 'gut feelings' prevent her from running into a wall. She was well acquainted with the sense, but she still had to rely on her eyes, somewhat for a situation like, to determine what was a door and what wasn't.

Her mask was also apparently a decent filter against the smoke particulate that hung in the air, the moist adhesive threads capable of capturing the microscopic molecules that would have caused her to hack and wheeze. She had to make a note of that for the future. She still kept low in a slight crouch, running through the building to try and stay out of the smoke. Her Spider-Sense guided her along to find each of the remaining residents trapped inside. She'd wrap each person in her web to make a harness. Taking them to the nearest window, she'd lower them down before proceeding on. Hopefully they wouldn't mind figuring out how to remove that webbing later. She shaved some time by grouping a few people together to lower them at once, and lost time by having to lift some debris and even a whole strut off of a person.

When the last person was out, Silk crawled out to the exterior and gave Superboy a holler. "Hey!" She gave an enthusiastic thumbs up before swinging across the street to stay out of the way of the building collapsing. She turned, hanging on the wall of the building to watch the building collapse, but her gaze drifted to the people she in the crowd that she saved. Maybe there was something for her in this business after all. She smiled as one person turned and gave her a wave. She waved back.

If Raven's cleaned up the Chitauri we'd have free reign to meet up with the others or respond to the remaining threats. Nothing's too far out of reach with the super-taxi

@Cybermaxx

Oh yea, I forgot that super-taxi can just carry her over. She still hasn’t gotten web slinging for speed down yet.
