History[]
Nathan was born as the first designer baby, who was designed to be the best athlete. For the first few years of his life, he won every gold and silver medal in every Olympic sport except bob-sledding. One day, during training, he was bitten by a spider drone (robotic spiders created by Spider-Man and Mister Fantastic in case Spider-Man died or was placed out of duty and to find perfect genetic matches to wield Spider-Man's powers). He immediately sought out the Web Crawlers and joined.
Powers and Abilities: Edit[]
- Wall-Crawling/Adhesive Stick: Nathan had the first variation of wall-crawling. It's still a mystery to him as to exactly how it works, but Nathan guesses that he can mentally make his molecules bond to any surface. At first when Nathan gains his spider powers, he sticks to a wall without even knowing it. Very early in the comic book years of Golden-Arachnid, Nathan can only stick with his hands and feet. Later on, it is seen that he can stick to surfaces using his back.
The bond is unbreakable, and can be used by any part of the body, including his feet, and allows him to do things, like catching a ball with one hand. The suit designed by chase is thin enough so that he can still stick to surfaces.
- Enhanced Strength: Most Individuals who obtain Spider Powers have increased strength. This is caused by the cross in DNA that grants them the proportional strength of a Spider. shadow spider can lift around ten tons, but others can vary based on their own body mass and the type of Spider that bit them, or gave them powers through other means.
- Enhanced Speed: Spiders, being very fast and agile creatures, give one with spider powers enhanced speed and agility. It is unknown just how fast a person with enhanced spider speed can travel, but it is seen that they outrun a speeding car.
- Enhanced Reflexes and Agility: Along with a spider sense for most people with spider powers, the basic reflexes and agility of a person is far enhanced that beyond a normal human's.
- Enhanced Balance: People who have spider powers have an enhanced sense of balance or equilibrium to stand perfectly still on almost any surface, also in help with the wall crawling ability. Nathan shown to balance on a thin wire with one finger, balance on a moving car, stand and walk or run on walls or bend into certain positions that would normally hurt an average non-powered human.
- Enhanced Healing Factor: Spider power enhanced an average humans healing factor, much higher then a regular humans. However, this healing factor is not to the degree of Wolverine, or Deadpool's healing factor where they can recover limbs and skin in a few minutes.
Spider-Sense:
- "My spider sense's are starting to tingle."
Several Spider Powered individuals have a "Spider-sense" which is a meta-cognitive ability that warns them of impending danger. Although it is still mostly a mystery, it has proven quite effective. It works as a slight tingling/buzzing in the back of the skull when danger is near, however the sensation can become more severe, and even painful.
It does not identify the nature of the danger, but will indicate what direction the individual needs to move in order to avoid it. It has been known to warn of nearly all forms of danger, from bullets and lasers to tainted meat. The spider sense power can also locate someone dangerous as Nathan once did as Golden-Arachnid to find the Vulture, or when enemies are closing in, or where they are going to jump next.
Rubber Webs: Due to his mutation, Nathan underwent a transformation that allowed his body to produce webs from his forearms and shoot them as he pleases.
Nathan had grown spinnerets in his forearms that terminate in small pores at the junction of his wrists. By pressing down with his middle fingers to his palm, he causes the pores to open and the spinnerets to eject the Rubber fluid
