Arachne

Spiderling

So you're probably wondering what it is that makes me so special. Truth be told... Nothin, I'm just a kid from Brooklyn. You're probably thinking, "oh great another another superhero from New York, what are you like Captain America too?" Nah bitch, I'm like Spiderman, well kinda. Yeah, woo another webslinger. I know, I'm awesome. Just shove it for a second though. I wasn't bit by a radioactive spider, I don't have a suit, and I'm not incredibly intelligent. Also I don't have eight eyes. I don't know if that's an actual thing, but whatever.

My father is the CEO of Parker Industries. Yeah he owns PI, yeah he's Peter Parker. Before you say anything about how great he is, don't. He's not, he's hardly home, in fact he's constantly working, and he doesn't seem to care about my mother or I. I mean yeah we live nice, but I'd like to see him every now and again.

Oh my name? It's Gwen. I mean originally it was James, but that's not who I am. I was born a James but, I don't feel like a James, if you catch my drift.

Great now that that's settled, I've been Spidergirl for probably two years now. Basically since I was fifteen. Not that I'm really doing as much as Spiderman is. I don't fight big villains, like the Green Goblin, or Doc Ock. No, I just help out the little old ladies in my neighborhood. I stop more petty crimes when I'm not doing homework.

I don't get any credit for it, and I'm okay with that. Sure I'd like my own suit, that'd be pretty rad. I just dunno if I could hide it from my mom.

My mom is pretty great and all, better than my father anyway. She's caring and understanding. She's even helped me with my transition into being a woman. My father's money helped, sure. You likely already know who Mary Parker is. Married to my father for years, has red hair, is super skinny. Yeah well that's me too. Except shorter.

Yeah so that's me, Gwen the redhead. This is my story as Arachne, the superhero name I've chosen.
