((Story is still in need of completion, WIP))

Kyle Abbott from birth and most of his childhood grew up as another fellow resident in Millennium City. He grew up as an only child to a middle-class household that consisted of both his mother and father Franklin and Dana Abbott. He attended Grace Memorial High School and grew up not making many friends, due to him deciding to exile himself from any real social interaction to be more focused on his studies. He quickly made his way onto the honor roll by his sophomore year and was already taking Grace Memorial's college-level courses.

By Kyle's sophomore year of high school he decided to seek out an internship somewhere in the field of robotics and or genetic modification. After failing to get one from Dynamic Technologies Kyle did find Newman Labs, founded by Professor John Newman, John build his company built on the belief that he and his team of researchers could give back to Millennium City following the destruction of Detroit back in 1992. Kyle became invested with Professor Newman's works with cybernetic and robotic technology as he wanted a career somewhere in the field of engineering and maybe getting a job over at NASA since he always wanted to work on the parts and components of a space shuttle.

While interning at Newman Consolidated, Professor Newman revealed to Kyle that his company wanted to expand into the field of genetics research and see to help treating genetic diseases and conditions. While going through the new genetics research wing, Professor Newman showed Kyle a quick glimpse at what both Newman and his colleague Doctor Victor Berlanti were working on in hopes of creating a new rendition on a super-soldier drug created by PRIMUS called, Cyberline. Professor Newman and Doctor Berlanti were working on a new pill-based supplement that would provide the user with temporary super-powers for approximately an hour. Professor Newman hadn't told him yet, but he lately was having second thoughts about this "super pill" as he didn't like how fixated and obsessed Doctor Berlanti was starting to become with it. In the next couple of weeks, Professor Newman eventually confronted Doctor Berlanti and told him about his plans of shutting down the project and discontinuing all research on the "Meta-Growth Hormone". This of course didn't sit well with Doctor Berlanti as he was the one...

PersonalityFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


Outside of his Arachnid identity, Kyle is a very reserved individual who really isn't one for crowds. He is more of an introvert and tends to be the most silent out of a group of ten or so people but may be the more outspoken person if that group of people is cut down to five or less. He is a very intelligent science enthusiast, capable of inventing and building his own miniature robotics since he was six years old. He also gathers both science and comic books in his room, although he honestly prefers the science books rather than the comic books.

Kyle is a friendly but shy and awkward individual; he is happy to talk but often stumbles on his own words in a conversation. It takes him time to actually get used to seeing people in order for him to overcome this hindrance in social interaction, but on the upside he is usually very impressionable to authority figures due to his maturity and level of intellect he tends to show. He is not the smartest or one of the most smartest people on the face of the earth but he is still incredibly wise for a kid of his age. Most things he has come to know came from reading books or documents that he may have gotten to take a look at during his internship at Newman Consolidated.

As Arachnid, Kyle is courageous and capable, being able to come up with clever strategies due to his scientific expertise. This of course is due to that he knows his face is completely covered and he can get away with saying or doing just about anything since he knows no one knows what he looks like. He also is more outgoing when under the mask, being able to do things he probably wouldn't do in his civilian identity. He generally annoys his enemies, not with fast-talking humor and quips, but with the validity of how a certain metahuman's powers may work and how they don't exactly obey certain laws of physics or any form of science at all.

AppearanceFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


Kyle Abbott would be described as a limber, skinny teenager around the age range of sixteen to eighteen years old. His skin is light-complected and his overall build can be seen as lean, where he doesn't have a lot of muscle but still appears to be fit for a teen around his age. He stands at 5'8" and weighs around 160 pounds. He carries a posture and attitude that is both mature and lighthearted, like he wants to make sure he impresses whoever it is that first meets him. Kyle has short reddish-orange hair that is often times worn in a very combed back and neat style, quite the departure from the more 'unkempt' and straggly haircut most often worn by his peers. He speaks in a light not-so-deep voice and the manner in which he speaks can sometimes be described as 'laid back', or to put it simply he often sounds like nothing really excites him too much and is rarely ever heard yelling or screaming. The clothing Kyle tends to wear is very casual, usually consisting of no more than a shirt and pair of jeans but again he still likes to make himself look presentable and not too sloppy a he is a firm believer on having only one chance to make a first impression.

In his Arachnid guise, Kyle wears a skin tight red, dark gray, and green suit that covers him from head to toe (partially). Red is the suit's primary color and takes up a majority of the suit starting from the mask then to the torso, gloves and boots. The secondary color is a dark gray which situates along the sides of the suit and on the pants as well. Finally there is the green which for the most part runs along the gray areas of the costume. Kyle utilizes a 'full mask' which protects his identity and also aids in his light sensitivity issue he has. While the mask lens are dark, they work in a similar manner as the typical pair of sunglasses where Kyle can see out of them but no one can see in, not even sunlight. Also due to his costume be constructed nearing the summer season the suit is also outfitted with a 'moisture pump' that is designed to keep Kyle cool in hot weather as he would (obviously) succumb to a heatstroke if he continued wearing his suit in the blazing heat for prolonged hours at a time.

PowersandAbilitiesFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


  • Arachnoid Physiology: Upon Kyle getting his powers, his body was given a more enhanced physique and performance level than that of any normal teenage boy of his height, size, and weight. He essentially possesses the proportionate powers of a human with spider-like abilities. He even gained enhancements over his normal human senses that also includes an extraordinary sixth sense which grants him heightened awareness of his very surroundings and tells him if something in the area is "off".

  • Superhuman Strength: Kyle's strength is vastly more superior than any ordinary humans he can bench approximately 7 tons and punch people so hard that the force can throw a person off their feet. His incredible strength allows him to lift cars and throw them great distances. He, again, is far stronger than any normal human and is able to kill a regular human with a single, glancing blow if he was willing to.

  • Superhuman Speed: Kyle can move faster than an ordinary human and is adept at dodging quickly. Kyle's speed allows him to respond to certain stimuli far quicker than how a normal human would and still have time to process the information in time to still move super-humanly fast to avoid what may be heading towards him. He can also achieve running speeds that allow him to surpass any vehicle.

  • Superhuman Agility: As Arachnid, Kyle has shown to move, jump, and perform all sorts of flips and somersaults without difficulty. His reflexes also allow him to react to impending threats and move with far better swiftness than the most skilled gymnast. His inhuman agility and dexterity allow him to jump to great heights, run up walls, and perform parkour maneuvers not possible to those with normal physiology.

  • Superhuman Durability: Kyle's body is physically resistant towards impact force, his durability level allows him to survive falls off of three story buildings and walk off extremely powerful hits from the toughest of opponents with little-to-no serious injuries.

  • Superhuman Reflexes: Kyle's enhanced senses allow for enhanced physical responses to stimuli in his environment. His reflexes are the of result of enhanced sensory input.

  • Attraction Field: Kyle's body amazingly emits a 'natural' attraction field that draws anything with range of him, towards him. Further studies at Newman Labs showed that this is either some form of telekinesis or gravity manipulation. Kyle has also shown to mimic a spider's 'wall-crawling' ability with this power by attracting himself towards a wall and simply running or walking up it, although he prefers running since its quicker and wastes less time.

  • Psionic Tendril Generation: Kyle has the ability to psionically generate twisted, threadlike structures "tendrils" from his body. These tendrils manifest themselves from each finger and can be used in numerous offensive ways, such as taking the form of whips and even be used as a way to bind or restrain enemies. Kyle's tendrils also seem to have the uncanny ability to become sentient and move in ways that make them appear as if they were alive.

  • Camouflage: Much like a sand spider, Kyle has an ability that allows him to blend into his environment. This is not invisibility but in fact chameleon-like camouflage power that Kyle's body adopts the same look and color whatever it is he may be standing in front, beside, or behind of. However the power best works while he is standing or sitting idly, any slight movement he makes doesn't uncloak him but makes his "outline" more visible to the naked human eye.

  • Tactile-Senses: Kyle is able to pick up the slightest vibrations through air currents via sudden changes and disturbances in the air. This also extends into perceiving small vibrations through both the ground and solid structures, Kyle can even sense structural weaknesses in certain solid materials as well. Because of this ability Kyle has designed his suit with fingerless gloves and toeless boots so he can properly pick up this sorts of natural occurrences.
    • Superhuman Equilibrium: Thanks to his Tactile-Senses, Kyle possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.

  • Psionic Emanations: By casting small strands of invisible, psionic webbing into his environment, Kyle can feel "psychic vibrations" reverberating through them just like a spider can feel regular vibrations through their webs. This allows him to sense the presence of other people in his vicinity, pinpointing potential attackers over a distance.
    • Premonition: While its nothing like a "danger sense" per se, Kyle's Psionic Emanations also grant him an enhanced level of premonition. With this Kyle usually is able to detect or sense something "off" in the area around him, whether it be the people he's near/surrounded by or just the overall environment in general. Some could say this is just a weaker variant of a danger sense though considering how something bad does usually happen after this feeling begins to kick in.

  • Venomous Quills: Kyle possesses the ability to produce biological needle-like protrusions from his body that are also venom-tipped. Once these quills are fired outward from his body and hit a target, the venom is pumped into the bloodstream and causes complete paralysis over the target's entire body that lasts for about 20 minutes. These needle-like protrusions can also be fired out as ranged projectiles through Kyle's fingertips.

  • Disease and Infection Immunity: Kyle's immunity, digestive, and other organ systems are enhanced far beyond that of a normal human's. His is completely immune to every form of disease brought on by bacteria, viruses, or even parasites. His immunity even goes far beyond this by also granting him immunity against some, if not all, known poisons, toxins, venoms and allergens.

SkillsFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


  • Expert Roboticist: Kyle is well-versed in the field of robotics and hardware design. He helped in the building and construction of the Spider-Bot and input his own designs for some of its defensive, offensive, and utilitarian capabilities. Ever since he was the age of 6, Kyle has even created A.I. just by the simple deconstruction of one thing to turn it into another thing.

  • Skilled Inventor: With his knowledge and expertise in mechanics, robotics and engineering Kyle has constructed some impressive pieces of tech, usually from household materials. Thanks to his "associative" position over at Newman Labs, Kyle often takes advantage of his access to their labs and aid in the building of new technology that will be both beneficial to him and the civilians of Millennium City.

  • Near-Genius Level Intelligence: Kyle is a genius, and has an I.Q of 160. He is more intelligent than some of the finest professors in the world. He has has been able to create A.I. as young as six years old using only just a couple components he stripped from other household materials like TVs and video game consoles. His intellect even impressed the likes of more experienced and trained individuals in the field of engineering and physics like, Professor Newman.

  • Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Kyle has extensively trained himself in a mixed form of fighting styles as well as properly supplement it with his superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. He often uses the environment to his advantage as well to make some of his attacks against foes more effective and take advantage of their (probable) slower reaction time to certain stimuli.

WeaknessesFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


  • Photosensitive Eyesight: Kyle's new powers cost him his eyesight slightly. Much like an actual spider, Kyle's eyes are now extremely sensitive to sunlight exposure and wears darkened eye lens in the mask of his suit to counter-balance the "flare" effect for when his eyes pick up too much light at once. He even has extended to wearing sunglasses when in his civilian identity.

  • Accelerated Metabolism: In order for his body to keep up with it's new 'enhancements', Kyle exerts a lot more energy then that of a normal human for that he is usually winded after a long day of fighting. While his appetite is not on par with that of a speedsters he will need to eat far more calories and intake more nutrients than what any average human would need.

  • Only Human: Kyle, while he does have super-powers they are nothing along the lines of indestructible or invincible. He can still be harmed by conventional weapons ranging from knives to firearms.

  • Sensory Overload: Kyle's Tactile-Senses are, well sensitive, and sudden sonic attacks or vibrations in the air will slightly throw him off and distort the information he would be receiving through his fingers or toes. Same will go for his Spider-Instincts as well as his enhanced reflexes and equilibrium. If Kyle is to be fighting more people at the same time his body will begin to struggle, trying to keep up with the constant amount of sensory input it is picking up all at once.

  • Inexperienced Combatant: Kyle, while he did train in how to use some of his powers in a lab, he does not have any form of combat training whatsoever. His fighting "technique" is somewhat instinctive and improvised as it emphasizes the use of his superhuman strength, speed, agility, and reflexes.

  • Exposed Fingers and Toes: Obviously due to his Tactile-Sense Kyle's fingers and toes are exposed and lack any protection from things like glass, rocks, pebbles, etc. While his super durability allows them to stay completely intact and in one piece, even when falling from the highest of distances, they are still completely vulnerable to people just stepping on them.

EquipmentFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


Arachnid Suit

StreetArachnid.png
Arachnid Suit: Originally donning a crudely made 'proto-suit', Kyle eventually received his own costume given to him by Professor Newman and the brilliant minds at Newman Consolidated. The suit consists of a red, gray, and green color scheme and is the generic skin-tight costume most common with superheroes. Kyle's costume was constructed to attune his new powers primarily his Tactile-Senses and sensitive eyesight, the suit covers a majority of Kyle's body mostly due to his Tactile-Senses running through most of his body and sudden gusts of wind can actually throw off his equilibrium. Also, due to the suit being created closer to the summer season it has 'moisture pump' that regulates cold water throughout the suit and keeps Kyle cool during hotter days of the week. Lastly, the suit is tear resistant and also has an unknown material woven into its fibers to provide Kyle with enough protection to survive small caliber bullets and bladed weapons.


Spyder-Bot

SpyderBot.png
Spyder-Bot: Kyle's Spyder-Bot was given to him by Professor John Newman. The Spyder-Bot was created for when Kyle can't infiltrate a location or area in person. The Bot is outfitted with cloaking technology so it can go unnoticed by humans, metahumans, and cameras as well as super-technologies. Spyder-Bot is also connected to the SOCRATES infrastructure and any message SOCRATES is to broadcast out to the city will be sent to Spyder-Bot and redirected to Kyle via a comm-link he has set up in his mask.


Spyder-Vision

SpyderSight.png
Spyder-Vision: Spyder-Vision is what Kyle dubbed the camera lens in both his mask's eye lenses and the Spyder-Bots 'eyes'. Spyder-Vision allows Kyle to see what the Spyder-Bot sees as well as capture and record both pictures and videos and send them back to Kyle via a video feed in his eye lens. He will occasionally use the recorded evidence for himself or send them to the MCPD if the crime is way beyond Kyle's control.


ThoughtsOnFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


Mechanon

"Everyone has their theories regarding the origins of this "Mechanon" character. Look I can't say much of anything since I wasn't even born yet during the time of his previous attempts to try and rid Earth of "organic life".


"Well I have my theories as well. Its quite simple actually you see following the destruction of Detroit back in 1992, the newly dubbed Millennium City experienced a 'renaissance' of technological advancements that would not only help metahumans but normal citizens as well. But if you look back far enough recorded documents of Mechanon's past attacks on Detroit at the time state that the mechanical monstrosity was utilizing tech far beyond their creation after 1992."


"What is it that I'm saying? Isn't it obvious? Mechanon is clearly not from this time. There's no way somebody of this time period build Mechanon, it just doesn't add up. I'm putting my money on that he is from another point in time in which technology has advanced significantly enough for beings like him to exist and have it not be abnormal in any way, shape, or form."


Gadget Boy

"Gadget Boy...Ugh...I've heard of this squib. I'll be honest he's not the greatest person in the world. He has a superiority complex and proclaims himself as the smartest person in the world. Hey bud, if you're SO smart. Why don't you provide a solution on how to stop ALL the bad stuff going on in the world right now? Oh what that? You can't? Because you're too busy being a self-center (bleep). Oooohhh well then sir, I suggest you to shut the (bleep) up and keep your negative thoughts to yourself."



American Superhuman and Paranormal Registration Act

"Okay, first things first. I'm not saying I WON'T sign up for this registration act, I'm just saying I'm not signing up for it right NOW. I'm seventeen years old currently and not of legal age to be signing anything just yet without an adult present. Now once I turn eighteen in October of 2017 I will definitely sign up.

"Right now I shouldn't be getting into too much trouble since I am mostly street-level and nothing I do should be so drastic that I'll be sent to court for it. So basically if I can keep my head low for most of this new year, I should be fine until my eighteenth birthday when I finally do sign up with PRIMUS and the ASPRA."

  • Go to Grace Memorial High School? Kyle is a sophomore-going-on-junior there!
  • Kyle is a frequent flyer at many of the Royal Burger establishments all over the city. You likely have seen him there on occasion.
  • His ventures have been mostly street-level. Maybe if you're a cop or streel-level hero yourself, you may have heard of Arachnid?
  • The occasional newspaper has featured some of his escapades (mostly in the backpages). You've likely seen something there about him.

TropesFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


[1]Nerd Action Hero: Kyle is definitely this.

[2]Badass Bookworm: Whether in costume or not, Kyle has a tendency to try and use his brain to help him get out of certain jams or situations.

[3]Comes Great Responsibility: Ever since gaining his powers, Kyle has tried desperately to live up to the expectations that have been made of him both with or without the mask.

[4]Good Parents: Unlike most other superhero origins, Kyle still gets to see and speak with his parents and is on good terms with them.

[5]Kid Hero: Kyle is definitely still a kid by law and does have to be home by a certain time.

[6]Part-Time Hero: Kyle means well as Arachnid and love to help people and stop bad guys, but he still favors his normal life as a high school student.

[7]Red Is Heroic: Kyle put in a request for that the suit he wears currently has red as the base color. He did this so the citizens know what to look out for when they see that someone is coming to their rescue.

[8]Science Hero: Thanks to a comm-link connection set up in his mask, Kyle keeps in contact with Professor Newman and often is given advice on how to stop a crime in other ways then just using his powers.

[9]Socially-Awkward Hero: Kyle fits this trope by ten-fold due to him being a very reserved individual.

TriviaFont.png
SpiderEmblem.png


  • Arachnid doesn't consider himself as to having "spider powers"; He says they're more like "enhancements that happen to mimic some spider's abilities".
  • Kyle is another one of the minority of people that despite magic clearly existing, he doesn't think its anything "real". He often purposes that its nothing but manipulation of this physical plane on a molecular level.
  • A lot of Arachnid's rogues gallery consists of villains that do not really have a vendetta against him, but instead his mentor Professor Newman. If they kill Arachnicide then it will shake Newman to his core.
  • He often tries to distance himself from other spider-themed heroes and such, particularly due to how similar a lot of them are to each other. Including himself.
  • Originally Arachnid was supposed to be a mercenary/assassin who was well versed in a variety spider venoms and poisons, but obviously that idea was scrapped.
  • Arachnid is not (yet) registered with the American Superhuman and Paranormal Registration Act (ASPRA), thus making him a vigilante. Because of this is actively chased down by the police where-ever he goes.
  • He is a fan of up and coming electronic rock band, Starset.
  • Before ever gaining his powers, Kyle has spent some time on internet forums speculating the origins of the cybernetic super-villain, Mechanon with other conspiracy theorists .
  • He has a bit of an intellectual rivalry with Suzuki Katsoru a.k.a Gadget Boy.
  • A possible voice actor that would be used for Arachnicide would most likely be Adrian Petriw. Mostly known for his voice acting of teenage Tony Stark in Iron Man: Armored Adventures.
  • Kyle seems to be very fond of Joseph Campbell's concept of Hero's Journey.
