The Spiders

Using all of the ancient bio lab tech in the basement along with the dna resequencer, I attempted to isolate the genetic makeup of the spiders that gave their powers and splice it with my own. Unlike with the x-gene, I was having a ton of trouble with this one, so I eventually gave up on gene splicing and decided on a more dangerous and quite possibly foolish path. 

I was thinking of going the more direct way and having the spiders bite me, but unfortunately for me, I ran into roadblocks here as well. The spiders could not pierce my tough Titan skin. So Instead i extracted four of the spiders venom. I chose the spiders I could tell were the most unique.

The white spider was unlike any spider I had seen before, but after observing it for a while, I realized it seemed to be the most interesting of the spiders, even beating the alchemax 42 spider in it's strange abilities. I chose this spider first. 

The second spider I chose was the Alchemax 42 Miles Morale spider, only this one didn't come from an alternate dimension and was probably not as powerful. The third spider I chose was the black spider with white markings which had the toughest webs of all the spiders. When I was trying to isolate their powers, I realized that this spider was the only spider that had the hereditary gene for webbing, meaning unlike the spider man of this universe, I should be able to use bio webbing instead of making my own. 

Finally, the l fourth and last spider. Peter Parkers spider which I had to be the most careful with, because this spider had to still give Peter his powers if I didn't want the universe to collapse. The spider men of each universe were more important than most thought. Their very lack of existence could destroy whole universes and the people in them. 

After combining the four spiders venom, I put the venom into the ancient syringe that delivers through light. It was the same delivery method I used for the x-gene. I hadn't simply just poured each venom on top of each other, I had combed through each of their genetic structures and made one superior spider venom from the four that had all of the good without any of the bad. 

Many have gained spider powers the non traditional route and usually it didn't go well. Spiders man fell into a vat of radioactive spiders. The spiders devoured Peter and absorbed his consciousness. The spiders then all grouped together to take the shape of Peter Parker. 

  Dr. Aaron Aikman tried to do what I am doing and give himself powers but ended up getting very little power and had to make a robotic spider suit to make up for his lacking powers. Magneto made a genetically devolved version of spider man that was more spider than man. Miguel O'Hara had his dna altered and became spiderman, but he went the non radioactive route. One Peter parker had six arms after drinking a spider potion. Carl King ended up becoming a group of spiders like spiders man after trying to digest peters dead spider and after he would control peoples bodies like a parasite. 

The list goes on and on. I wasn't the first to attempt this, but I had a lot more going for me than most of the others that tried to do what I am doing. I had highly advanced technology, both Titan and Ancient intelligence, and a titan physiology instead of a human one. 

Injecting the Spider solution into my veins, I gambled with my life. Although I was pretty sure it would work out well for me, I still had a tiny bit of doubt. I had no other Titans to test it out on though and if it worked it was a sure fire way to get stronger. 

As I was wondering if I made the right choice or not, I felt my heart do a few flutters right before a searing sharp pain shot through my whole body. I felt as if I was burning from the inside out. Gritting my teeth, I tried to endure it best I could. After a solid ten minutes of enduring the pain It started to get even more intense to the point I felt like I was going to pass out. I began to think I might be dying and started to regret experimenting on myself. 

My mind simply would not let me stay awake for the whole process, but I also didn't want to fall asleep and leave things up to chance if things started to go south. Thinking quickly, I shot myself up with adrenaline like I had done when I gave myself the x-gene to activate it. This time I'm only injecting myself with it to keep myself awake though. 

It was at this moment that my muscles, bones, and flesh started to contort and put me through a type of torture I had never endured before. My huge Titan body structure started to shrink down. The more I shrank, the more painful it was, but at the same time the powerful I felt. My bones were compressed under great pressure and started to become as hard as diamonds if not harder, my muscles became more lean and although it appeared I had lost muscle mass, it wasn't the case. They had simply lost any fat that were around them and my muscle fibers became tighter, stronger, and more flexible.

The pain had stopped, but I could tell the changes in my body would continue for at least the rest of the night. Looking into a mirror I half expected to see an extra arm or some kind of spider like feature, but I was surprised to see I not only looked younger, but also more attractive. I looked less and less like my father the more I altered myself. My face now looked my age or a year or two older.

It was bad for business, but I could probably pass for 18 or 19 due to my muscular build and tallness. Speaking of height, the only somewhat bad thing about my changes was that I was no longer 8ft tall, I had lost a foot making me roughly 7 feet tall.  If my father saw me now, he probably wouldn't even recognize me. I had changed too much. My red skin had stayed the same in this process and was the only thing that made me recognizable. 

I didn't want to try testing out my powers until the process was fully finished in fear id mess something up, but I could tell I had  a number of new powers. My saliva felt extra sticky and weird for one.
