Abilities and Back to Work!

It's been a week and I do exactly what i said I would do, I have been discovering my abilities and finding their limits. At least when I am not being bugged by MJ when she comes over after school, she makes us go out to eat and watch movies and other social activities. She says it's because I almost died and since it was her fault that she was going to make sure that I spent the rest of my life making the most of it and having fun. I personally think that her reasoning is only part of the equation and that she mainly wants to get to know me better and it's actually working, I'm having a bit of fun and she's has managed to coax out of me quite a lot of information about myself.

Anyway, I was talking about my abilities. The first thing I tried was my wall crawling, it's pretty standard except that I can use my whole body to stick to things and I don't know if the original spider can do that. Though I do think that if someone try to rip me of whatever I'm holding it is more likely that the object will break, either that or my fingers are going to be torn off that's how powerful my sticking ability is. I've been training to turn it on and off at an instance and I've also been sticking my hand on the blades of a fan which Earl has the controls to, he will randomly turn it on and I will have to turn of my sticky powers straight away or my hand starts making circles. It's the best training I could think of in such short notice to make sure my ability is more useful than harmful.

I tried to shoot webs by sitting on the couch and trying to shoot webs at the TV remote to bring it towards me otherwise I couldn't watch TV. I tried for around an hour but nothing happened, if need wasn't making me shoot webs than I could only conclude that I don't have web powers. I'm actually quite glad that I don't have web powers as i find it a bit weird to be producing and shooting white gunk out of my wrist, plus the web shooters are so much more versatile and can have a great variety of different types of webs. The only downside to web shooters is the limited capacity in them but I don't think that will be a problem in the foreseeable future, I don't have time to be a Superhero as I need to focus on making my machine.

I actually only discovered my next ability when I was out with Mary Jane, her annoying me actually turned out to be useful. We had just finished watching a movie and we were coming out of the cinema (not theatre as I was originally an Englishman), some dude came up and started hitting on MJ and i wasn't really bothered about it as she's only a friend to me. She rejected him but the guy started to get pushy and I eventually had to step in and tell the guy to sling his hook, he did but not before he said some terribly rude things to Mary Jane. When he turned around and stared to walk away I got incredibly angry and clenched my fists hard as I was about to kick this guys ass. The only thing that stopped me was MJ's gasp and when I followed her line of sight I knew why. Extending out of my fists were three claws with the same positioning as wolverines(between the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger) but that was about the only similarity. The claws were made of black bone, straight and they curved at the end kinda like a tigers. The two outer ones extended about twenty centimetres with the middle one being about a third of that. They were a dull black and looked quite intimidating, when I saw them I was shocked and unclenches my hand which made them disappear. Unfortunately the asshat had already left by then.

After further testing with the claws I have discovered that I can activate them by thinking like I want to cut someone to pieces, I also have to be clenching my fist for it to happen and have furthered my control to be able to call them out at an instance and bring out the claws on each hand individually. After even more testing I have figured out my claws strength, they are able to cut through stone but they just about manage to make some indents and small cuts on iron. It would take around an half an hour to cut through iron, though I imagine that if they are iron bars that the time will be cut down immensely. when my claws come out my hand bleeds a little but it's nothing I can't handle and also when I put my claws away, the holes left in my hand heal up n the next thirty seconds. Unfortunately this rate of healing does not extend to the rest of my body, though I heal bruises and cuts in minutes.

I have also notice that I can see in the dark so I guess I have night vision. Another curious thing I noticed while I was eating was that my teeth are sharper and after a bit of checking I have found out that my teeth are sharper with my incisors being a tiny bit longer. They are not sharp enough to cut anything on contact but if I apply a lot of pressure I could probably gnaw through quite a lot of stuff. I have also found that i can talk to spider and communicate with them though it is quite hard to understand them, if I concentrate I can sense spiders and I have at one time managed to see through their eyes, this could be quite useful and requires further training to hone this ability. I am also incredibly flexible and have found that I can build up immunity to poisons and other stuff far faster than a regular human. After a poison has been used on me it is far less effective the second time.

A staple of Spider powered people is the spider sense, I know I have it as I managed to dodge a plant that had been dropped from above when I was going to get some food. I haven't really been able to see how it compares to a normal Spider-Man's as I don't get into a lot of dangerous situations but I can guess that it is better than his in some way. I guess I will find out about it in the future.

The final ability that I have discovered so far is the 'Venom Blast'. it is pretty similar to the 'Venom Blast' used by other spider powered people except that mine is an electric blue and the intensity and voltage is so high that it can fry a person. I will have to spend a great deal of time to get this under control and control my output, I don't want to accidentally murder people. I didn't really have much time for anything else as I have started going back to school, there are a lot of tests I want to do but I think I will start going slower with them as I have to start getting back to my research.

I imagine that I am always going to learn new stuff about my powers and new ways to use them. I am not exactly in a rush and can take my time to find out about them as I will not be going out in spandex anytime soon. That means that my life won't be threatened except for the rare occasion, and I really need to get back to my research and going to school again.

I wonder how Peter has been doing, I bet he has already started to find out how to make money using them. I wouldn't be surprised if he has entered that wrestling completion that most of his origins do.

I wonder if my being here has changed anything about his origin story...

Will he even become Spider-Man...
