Curate, connect, and discover
Hi! In here you'll see my hdc about what h abilities did Peter acquire from the spider bite! It WILL require for me to write major spoilers ahead of what I have planned for my fic: "The chaos of Peter's life and everyone discovering it" so read with that in mind!! If you don't read my fic I think it will still be pretty detailed regardless, but you do you! :)
Most of my information is a sum of my own knowledge, some headcanons, and me reading some absurdly large article's about spiders and their characteristics. Do keep in mind that I've decided that because the spider was radioactive and an experiment, I don't care about what kind of spider bit him because I think it's fair to think they also cross bred spiders.
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FOR MY FIC!!!
Venomous fangs:
After the spider bite, the venom of said spider not only changed his DNA drastically, but it also moved said venom on top of his mouth into recently acquired (from the change of DNA) venom glands. His fangs also got larger by taking some of the matter inside the teeth and moving it to make it pointy. Therefore leaving a tube like hole for the venom to come out of.
This venom comes out from these fangs automatically in small quantities (because the hole goes straight down, so gravity pulls it down, unlike with actual spiders), and in larger and faster quantities if actively injecting it. So to stop it he has to actively stop it.
That will cause him to accidentally poison himself at every moment without even realizing, and actively poison himself further everytime he eats. Because his venom is the same as the spider that gave him powers, that means he'll progressively and slowly but exponentally, get stronger and new powers.
One day, he'll accidentally bite himself and he'll suddenly get a big power boost (because it'll be injected by blood and not digested and dissolved by his digestive system). After realising (with the help of Dr Banner) that he has been poisoning himself, he'll learn to stop it from happening.
Regrowth of limbs:
After he accidentally bits himself, one of the powers that he'll acquire will be being able to regrow limbs, but like spiders, they will grow smaller.
That will (maybe) be discovered with Dr Banner when they're doing some tests. But when it'll be used for sure will be in the fight against thanos (or more exactly, after). There, he'll lose one or more limbs, and while they regrow and after, will have to adapt. (I haven't ever lost an arm, so I don't know the struggle first hand, I'll try to get as educated as possible for when the time comes, but if I ever get anything wrong tell me please! Also, any tips are appreciated!)
Stickiness:
In my researched I've found that some spiders aren't inherently sticky, but get by by other factors. I personally have some sciency freak (and absolutely bizarre and not possible) theory I like:
The reason why Peter had problems controlling this power is because it works in a very strange and difficult way. His atoms got changed by the radioactive part of the spider and now, when he touches any surface, if he doesn't actively try not to stick, his atoms will unstabilize the atoms of the surface he's in contact with and create covalent bonds with them.
When he actively tries not to stick, his brain sends something (idk what) to his nervous system that stops his atoms from sticking.
This will be a major plot point, when he gets some limb amputated, someone (don't ask who because I don't know either) will bite the not attached limb to try to adquire his powers, and all his atoms will go like crazy and it'll make a nuclear explosion.
(Don't say it doesn't make sense, I know it doesn't make sense, but I like it guys...)
Spidey sense:
Here I'll just explain where it comes from. It comes down to 3 things.
The enhanced senses. This doesn't have any important and specified hdc except sight. All the other ones are just an enlargement/enhancement of the parts of the body that help our bodies have those senses. An example would be that he has much more nerves in every part of his body.
Eyesight. This one is like he developed invisible and not noticable spider eyes inside his pupils. There he gets better eyesight and some (not a lot) night vision.
Body hair. His body hair is a lot more perceptive, like spiders trichobothria (their hairs), that feel vibrations and air currents.
Talking to spiders:
He is able to communicate with spiders, but he doesn't realise it's in another "language", it's like when you're bilingual and talking to someone in a language and without realizing say words in another one.
He doesn't really appreciate them at first, because he's scared of them after the bite, but he'll get to love them and maybe have a spider army (not an army, because I'm anti war but UK it sounds good).
Super strength:
His muscles got bigger to make him have the relative strength of a spider. And his muscle tissue got doubled.
Super senses:
His hearing gets to like 2 blocks away for people talking and 6 feet away for heartbeats. (Please don't ask about the ratio and how it doesn't make sense, it's approximately and I'm European so I don't even understand the American system.)
His eyesight isn't out of the normal for humans, but he has better eyesight because he had to wear glasses and now he doesn't. He did get a little bit of night vision though.
He can feel things to the very next level, he has a lot of sensory issues like autistic people (me).
He can smell from 11 feet away things that if they were a feet away we would barely smell.
He can taste a lot of the ingredients more, and if it has a very strong flavour, even the kitchenware that it was cooked with too.
Other characteristics:
He can't thermoregulate, because spiders are cold blooded. That will be one of the major points that will make him realise he's in live with Johnny.
He's short because he was already short before the spider bite, but female spiders are a lot bigger than male ones, so he'll never get taller than 157cm.
He's got some instincts about prey and wanting to tie them with webbing. That's one of the reasons why he started to tie criminals like that.
He's allergic to peppermint and mint.
His instincts make him want to be upside down most of the time.
Thank you so much for reading if you've reached this! I've tapped a lot and you can probably see how invested I am with this jshsiahaja but again, THANK YOU SM!!!
And some more that will be created in my mind in the future!
Increased: stamina, speed and flexibility.
Healing factor (it's own whole thing)
