Background
At a year old Jessica Drew and family moved from England to
Wundagore Mountain. Her father worked there with fellow geneticist
Herbert Wyndham who would later become the High Evolutionary. Several
years after their arrival Jessica developed radiation poisoning from
exposure to uranium. Her father injected her with a formula based on
the recuperative powers of spiders to grant her immunity to the
radiation. Wyndham then put her in a genetic accelerator of his own
design to help speed up the process. Unfortunately the process was
still very slow so the accelerator slowed down her ageing process.
She woke up decades later alone for some mysterious reason with no
memory of her past. Her power manifested a short time later. Upon
first manifesting she accidentally unleashed a “venom blast”
killing her boyfriend. From then on she led a complicated life
becoming a member of several clandestine organizations including
Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
After her stint with Hydra she developed the superhuman persona of
Spider Woman and became a superhero. She is the one who fished Carol
Danvers out of the river after Rogue dumped her there when she
permanently stole her powers and memories.
Description
She is a tall, athletic woman with green eyes who dies her long
auburn hair black. She wears a red body suit including a mask and
cowl with eye lenses similar to Spiderman. The suit is trimmed in
black and has various yellow accenting pieces including gloves and
boots.
Powers
Her basic physical attributes are on par with Spiderman's
including her flexibility, agility and speed including reflexes.
However where as he can lift 10 tons at arms length over his head,
she can only lift 7 tons. Of course given that the serum was designed
to impart her a spider's immunity to toxins, drugs and radiation her
immunity to these things far exceeds his. Also like Spiderman, she
can cling to walls using electrostatic attraction with similar
capacity.
Unlike Spiderman she has superhuman hearing instead of his
precognitive “spider sense”. Aside from just greater acuity, she
also has a greater range of frequencies she can hear. Also unlike
Spiderman she produces pheromones that can cause fear or cause
attraction or repulsion depending on the targets gender and mood.
She can also generates bio-electricity that she can project as
“venom blasts” which manifest as green burst of electricity that
generally effects a target's nervous system. She generally only
projects them with enough “charge” to stun a target but when
fully charged she can project a full blast equal to 1/10th of a
lightning bolt. After that she would be depleted of venom blasts and
would have to wait for her stores to build up again.
She also posses the very unspider-like ability to glide on wind
currents. Or at least tiny spiders do this by catching breezes with
“spider lines”. To be honest she can fully fly now and not just
glide but I prefer the gliding idea so I'm going to stick with that
version of the power.
If I was the original Spider Woman
The first order of business for me would be parcour. Wall crawling
and gliding with the addition of super agility and super strength
enhanced mobility and even super stamina and durability. You can
bring the sport to whole new levels. Sky scrapers and monuments
become new places to play. I guess that I'd be combining parcour with
base jumping. Mind you I could also go flight suit jumping without
the flight suit or parachute.
Okay so I would start a web show. “The All New Adventures of
Darth Hunter” I would prowl the city dressed like a “Sith”
doing “Force Gymnastics” (the “super parcour” mentioned
above). I'd blast people with the venom blasts as though they were
“Force Lightning” but it would be people who would be willing or
if I came across people who needed a good shocking. Then I would do
things like move people's cars around or even stack them using my
super strength. I would use the pheromones to manipulate people as
though it were some “Jedi Mind Trick”. Of course the pheromones
are about the attraction and repulsion based on the gender that finds
you attractive or feels you are competition. So essentially women
would enjoy my presence but men would experience fear in it. Not
sure how that would really work out. Spiderfan.org claims that she
controls her pheromone emissions so I guess I could use it like a
Jedi mind trick. All this would be filmed by someone of course. Not
sure who I'd get. Maybe someone with a R/C helicopter mounted camera
so they could catch up with my roof hopping.
Aside from that I would participate in a lot of marathons and
shows like Ninja Warrior and Wipeout. That's probably how I would
make a living. I'd keep the winnings for these competitions and use
at least part of it to film more videos.
Ultimately this is a power set that either turns you into a hero
or a villain. Like I said with my Wonder Woman entry the temptation
to follow racing police cars or to intervene when I see something
dangerous going on is too great for me. I'd use “The All New
Adventures of Darth Hunter” as a cover for my super heroing. Also
spiders are predators so I would probably “prey on evil”.
Especially using the pheromone power to extract information or to
intimidate a possible adversary.

What I would do in the real world if I had the powers of a super hero or super villain from comic books, cartoons, television shows or movies. If you want more information on the characters I explore here I recommend that you go to the official websites of the companies that own the rights to the characters. I usually get my data from either what I remember from reading comic books (which are now in storage) or at wikia entertainment (www.wikia.com/Wikia), Wikipedia or also from Comicvine.com
