If I was the original Spider Woman

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.

If I was the Rhino

Aleksei Sytsevich the Rhino is a Spider-Man villain who was originally a Russian spy who was mentally conditioned so he could pass as an American under the falsified identity of Alexander O'Hirn. Along with the mental conditioning to pass as an American he underwent several months of life threatening chemical and radiation treatment to give him super strength and durability. After that he had armor "skin" patterned after a rhinoceros (including horns) bonded to his skin. After coming to America he broke ties with his benefactors and went on his own crime spree. He's been repeatedly defeated by Spider-Man as well as the incredible Hulk. He's undergone many enhancements to his powers and his armor through out his career even having been turned into a human-like rhinoceros at one point. The main thrust of his career has been to be hired muscle although he has had his own schemes, unfortunately he's not the most brilliant man in the world so they often fail.

His powers consists of super human strength stamina and durability. He's strong enough to lift seventy five tons from the ground to up over his end with his arms fully extended. With his armour on he can lift eighty five tons that way. His stamina permits him to exert himself for up to 24 hours before tiring. His durability with out the armour he wears is hard to say since he is always wearing his armor when in action. He can run at up to one hundred miles per hour but I would think with his strength he could probably run faster.

His armor is highly resistant to damage including anti-tank weaponry as well as acid and temperature extremes ranging from minus fifty degrees Fahrenheit to plus one thousand degrees Fahrenheit. The horns on his armor can puncture two inch thick steel plating.

His main weakness is that once he begins charging he's not very manoeuvrable. He can't change the direction of his charge very quickly permitting a quick or alert enough person to dodge him.

If I were the Rhino and criminally inclined I would definitely get into the "protection" racket. You know the old "It would sure be a shame if something were to happen to your fine establishment. I'll gladly protect your place for a fee." kind of thing. Should the police get any ideas like arresting me well..."It would be a shame if something should happen to this nice police station you have here. Not to mention all these nice shinny cars you have." As long as everyone paid up everyone would be fine. God forbid things go hard for me to handle, well then I would hire myself out as "muscle" for a more clever criminal than myself. Mind you I'm sure I would be approached by some organized crime family long before I'd have to worry about the police coming up with a way to stop me. You know given my personality even if I was criminally inclined I'd most likely make a deal with the police that if they leave me alone I'd send them my criminal rivals so at least they can apprehend them if they can't apprehend me.
