By a technical standpoint there wasn't only one spider to begin with as someone else was bitten by the same spider as Peter right around the same time. In which case you don't necessarily need to compete with the line of guys already on Parker if you just wants a spider character. That would mean you could apply as Cindy Moon.

I mean technically but these games tend to go in the 'Title' hero is the main character, people that spin-off from that as legacies 'belong' to the title character. I think that's what he was meaning.
Just to clarify: I am not in charge of who can apply as what. Anyone can apply for whatever character they want and the GMs will choose who gets what. All I said, and all I mean, is that if I get accepted as Spider-Man, which in no way is a guarantee as there are two others also applying for the character, that a Gwenom would not fit with my Spidey story. Nor would a Miles or any of the other Spider-spinoffs. Having multiple spider-characters run by players wouldn't fit with what I am planning to do. Just as I'm sure whoever plays Superman probably wouldn't want the ten Super-family characters to all be PCs yet. Yes, we're starting in year five, but I feel it's still important to build up to those big moments.
Andy and Doc may feel otherwise. Their plans for the character should one of them be accepted could work perfectly with a Gwenom or whoever alongside them. I can't and won't speak for them.
I am not trying to say "don't apply for this character." That isn't my jurisdiction, I hold no power here, and that definitely isn't my intent. I just wanted them to keep in mind that applying for legacy characters would require the approval of the parent character's player. Unless, as far as I understand the rules, you are applying for that character as if they were the main hero. So a Gwenom in a world where Peter Parker never became Spider-Man. I'm 99% sure you could apply for that and compete with anyone who is apping Spider-Man. But apping Gwenom as a character who exists in addition to a Spider-Man, in which Spidey is run by someone else, would require that person's approval. Since that could directly affect the story that the person playing Spider-Man is trying to tell, as is the case with me.
App what you want to app, though. In no way am I saying otherwise.
