				<strong>CHARACTER NAME:</strong> Spider Man<br><strong>PLAYED BY:</strong> tonyberryshuffle<br><strong>REAL NAME:</strong> Peter Parker<br><strong>AGE:</strong> 28<br><strong>SEXUAL ORIENTATION:</strong> Straight.<br><strong>HEIGHT:</strong> 5'10"<br><strong>WEIGHT:</strong> 142 lbs<br><strong>AFFILIATION: </strong> Nobody really.<br><br><div align="center">(http://screencrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/the-amazing-spiderman-2-4.jpg)</div><br><div align="center">(http://wpc.556e.edgecastcdn.net/80556E/img.site/PHpyCl4EBACytp_1_m.jpg)</div><br><strong>Powers/Abilities:</strong><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Superhuman Strength: Peter has the ability to lift over 10 tons of weight, and a simple tap from him is enough to knock a normal person unconscious.<br><br>Wall Climbing: Peter has a spider's ability to stick to objects with his hands and feet, meaning he can climb straight up walls or cling to the bottom of structures upside down with ease. Sometimes his 'stick' is so strong that he's sent flying by a wild punch while still attached to a piece of wall.<br><br>Superhuman Speed, Stamina, and Durability: Peter can run faster, for longer, and take far more serious injuries than ordinary humans can. On foot he can keep up with a car for hours, or even fall several stories and hit the ground and walk away from it.<br><br>Superhuman Agility: Peter's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.&nbsp; Spider-Man is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being's, despite their enhanced strength.<br><br>Superhuman Reflexes: Peter's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about 40 times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his spider-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, if he's far enough away.<br><br>Spider Sense: Peter has a sixth sense that warns him of any type of danger or surprise, and the stronger the danger, the stronger a warning he gets. Even friends or family can't sneak up on him, due to this extra awareness of his surroundings.<br><br>Web Shooters: Peter designed and built two contraptions he wears on his wrists. These devices, when he presses his two middle fingers to his palm, fire a single rope of a with fluid that solidifies on impact with air. The substance then becomes 'webbing' a sticky, stretchy substance that he can use for innumerable purposes. From 'web-slinging' through the city to tying up bad guys, Peter's webbing is his trademark ability.</div></div><br><strong>Weakness:</strong><br><br>Spider Man is incredibly loyal, willing to risk anything for the one's he cares about. This makes him an easy target for hostage situations. He also has to maintain his secret identity to protect his family, and he'll guard that secret at any cost, giving further leverage to anyone who discovers it.<br><br>Finally, Spider Man is a loner. He doesn't play well with other heroes and tends to run off to do his own thing. This can make things difficult on a team, especially when he doesn't follow orders that others are depending on him following.<br><br><strong>History:</strong><br><br>Peter Parker grew up with his uncle Ben and Aunt May. When he was in highschool, he went on a field trip to Oscorp Tower. There, he was bitten by a radioactive spider that the scientists there were experimenting on, giving him spider-like superhuman abilities. He suddenly found he had incredible strength, agility, the ability to stick to walls like an insect, and a "Spider Sense" that warned him of danger.<br><br>As he got used to these new abilities he became rebellious and reckless. He heard that a underworld wrestling league was offering 1,000 dollars to the winner. Donning an outfit and naming himself "Spider Man" he had his uncle Ben drive him to the wrestling league. His Uncle tried to reason with Peter, telling him that this new 'power' he was feeling (in other words, Peter was growing up) was something he had dealt with. Ben told Peter that with the new powers of being an adult, he had a greater responsibility. Peter brushed off his uncles warning and went to the wrestling match. There, Spider Man easily won the competition. But the corrupt manager only paid him 300 dollars. As Peter was leaving, infuriated, a burglar stole the rest of the manager's cash. <br><br>Peter could have stopped the bandit, but he didn't, thinking it was a good way to get revenge on the corrupt manager. However, the thief ran out of the building and saw Ben's car. The thief killed Ben and used the car as a getaway vehicle. Peter found his uncle's body, and realized that by allowing the thief to escape he had inadvertently killed Ben. Torn by grief, Peter remembered the last words he heard his uncle say:<br><br>"With great power, comes great responsibility."<br><br>Those words would become Peter's motto, his code for life. With his great powers, he had a greater responsibility to take care of those who couldn't do so for themselves, and bring evil-doers to justice. He became a masked vigilante, keeping the outfit and name from the wrestling match. Over the years he's managed to keep his identity a secret to protect his Aunt May, fighting an army of villains over the space of a few years. <br><br>Some of his best friends (and lovers) over the years have been Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, and Black Cat, and he's often aided various teams like the Avengers or Fantastic Four. But he always returned to the solo act, preferring to take down villains and protect the city on his own.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong><br><br>Peter is a big joker, always cracking fun at the most inappropriate moments and in the direst situations. Often he pokes fun at the very villains he's fighting, making them irate enough to make mistakes. Always with a ready smile and a witty pun, he rarely takes anything seriously on the outside. But inside he's a really caring, kind person, one who has clear ideas about right and wrong. He fights for what's right and puts down those who do wrong, never wavering from his moral code.

I'm a thief. Born a thief. Raised a thief. Will die a thief.”</span></em></strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <strong><em>-- Black Cat</em></strong></div><br><div style="text-align: justify;">Felicia Hardy’s grew up as "daddy's little girl," idolizing her father. When Walter Hardy suddenly disappeared, Felicia's mother, Lydia, told her that he had died in a plane crash; in reality, he had been incarcerated for his crimes as a notorious cat burglar. Upon discovering the truth about her father, Felicia became inspired to follow in his footsteps. <br><br>Living with the belief that he was dead, she became over-identified with her absent father. She developed an idealized fantasy life and drove herself to emulate that fictional lifestyle. This coping mechanism allowed her to deal with this emotionally traumatic event. She learned everything she could about her father and was particularly interested in his criminal exploits. She used these elements to build her idealized fantasy.<br><br>However, another tragic event more strongly influenced a redirection in her life. <br><br>As a college freshman at Empire State University, Felicia was date-raped by her boyfriend, Ryan. She turned her grief and shame into rage, channeling her feelings for revenge towards intensifying her training regime in martial arts and acrobatics. However, she was robbed of a chance for vengeance, as Ryan was killed in a drunk driving accident. She then turned her unrealized revenge into the push she needed to perfect her skills. <br><br>Learning safe cracking, lock picking, and other techniques of thieves, Felicia set out stealing from others to compensate psychologically for what was stolen from her. When Felicia learned that her mother had lied to her about her father’s death. Walter Hardy was in fact still alive, but in jail. She took a bold step, making her debut as the costumed Black Cat to break him out.<br><br>Despite his criminal tendencies, in her eyes, he could do no wrong and she applied that perspective to her own criminal actions. She wasn’t afraid to cross the line into unlawful territory, and proved to be resourceful, recruiting a criminal crew to assist her in the jail break. However, things aren’t always as they seem. Her father’s jailbreak wasn’t motivated by any criminal intent or desire, but rather by love. It was only when she heard Walter was dying that she selflessly decided to break him out. <br><br><br><strong>POWERS/ABILITIES:</strong> <br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Expert Thief:</strong></span> Felicia is a skilled (somewhat reformed) thief skilled in stealth, picking locks, escapology, evading alarms and cracking safes.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Olympic Level Athlete:</strong></span> She has reflexes, agility, and stamina of an Olympic level acrobat. She is physically very strong and athletic and has great physical endurance.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Olympic Acrobat:</strong></span>&nbsp; Felicia is particularly a skilled acrobat capable of many difficult feats.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Skilled Martial Artist:</strong></span>&nbsp; She has been trained in several martial arts; most notably Goju-ryu Karate and Judo which she specializes in. Felicia is capable of taking on several armed assailants and incapacitating them without being injured herself. Her strength and, when pushed too far, ferocity in battle has proven to be overwhelming to foes twice her size.<br><br><br><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><br>Emotional, stubborn, and can be reckless. She has no magical ability or superhuman strength. She relies on her gadgets and equipment, and her sharp wit. She’s emotionally deeper than her flashy exterior might convey, which could be her biggest weakness or her best asset. <br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong><br><br>Felicia Hardy has an obsessive personality, be it for revenge or her need to developed an idealized fantasy life to emulate what she perceived as&nbsp; her father’s lifestyle. She&nbsp; can be superficial and somewhat stubborn, due mainly to her greedy personality.&nbsp; Even so, she&nbsp; is good hearted when she allows her emotions to show.&nbsp; She is determined and has a strong will, letting nothing get in her way. She may be sharp with her tongue, but her expressive green eyes will often give her true emotional state away, be in angry or filled with passion. <br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong><br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Black Cat Costume- </strong></span>Felicia purchased a black leather costume from the Tinkerer which increased many of her natural attributes. This includes micro-servos that gives her peak human strength which enables her to lift approximately 800 lbs. The suit also enables her superhuman speed, which allows her to sprint at the maximum speed of about 40 miles per hour. The suit itself is also extremely tight and shows off a lot of her cleavage. which helps to distract her enemies.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Specially Designed Earrings- </span></strong>Black Cat's suit also includes a unique pair of earrings that help her keep balanced while climbing walls or rooftops, similar to how a cat uses its tail to balance itself.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Contact Lenses-</span></strong> Black Cat uses designed contact lenses that enables her to see in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which allows her to see in the dark as clearly as she would in the daytime.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Retractable Claws-</span></strong> The gloves of Black Cat's costume contain metal, retractable claws at the tip of each finger. They are razor sharp and are capable of tearing through most materials and enable her to scale walls.<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Grappling Hook-</span></strong> Black Cat has a grappling hook device which is hidden in the fur of each of her gloves of which were designed by her father, Walter. These hooks enable her to swing from building to building in a way similar to Spider-Man, though not as fast. She can also use the device as a tightrope, wall scaling device, swing line or as a weapon in combat with an enemy. When the hooks are fired, they can be attached to building ledges or flag posts, which enables her to swing across buildings.<br><br><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Motorcycle-</strong></span> Black Cat sometimes uses a motorcycle in a cat-like design.<br><br><strong>KNOWN ENEMIES:</strong>&nbsp; Who could hate such a sweet kitty?&nbsp; *cue flutter of lashes*&nbsp; &nbsp;- Meow</div>

Trained as a Marine and equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, he now wages a one-man war against crime as the Punisher.</em><br><br>Born in Queens, New York, to parents of Sicilian ancestry, the young Francis Castiglione enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, eventually becoming a U.S. Marine Captain. He married his wife, Maria, who was already pregnant with their first child prior to his enlistment.<br><br>During his time in the USMC, Castiglione graduated from boot camp and then went on to United States Marine Corps School of Infantry. While still in training, Castiglione met Phan Bighawk, an American Indian scout. He was assigned to be Castiglione's guide, and through Phan, he learned how to survive in the wilderness.<br><br>Following his training, Castiglione served abroad in the Special Forces Unit as a point man. He fought in numerous engagements and was the only survivor (from both sides) of an assault on their base. For heroism in the line of duty, he was decorated with the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, 3 times the Silver Star and Bronze Stars, 4 times the Purple Heart, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<br><br>After finishing his second tour of duty abroad, he came back to the United States and had a second child with his wife. He then signed up for a third tour to which he illegally re-entered the U.S. Marine Corps under the name of Frank Castle in order to return to battle. Castle served a total of 4 years. Six years later, after the American involvement ended, Castle ran Special Black op training missions for Marine Recon Commandos in the upper New York State area.<br><br>While on leave, he took his wife and two small children to Central Park in New York City. Coincidentally, the family happened upon the scene of a mob killing on the Sheep's Meadow green in the park. Fearing witnesses, the mobsters murdered Castle's family in cold blood and escaped. Castle managed to survive the attack but was deeply traumatized by the incident.<br><br>He was going to testify in court to identify the shooters, but Castle was denied this since the New York police department were deeply connected with the Mafia. He decided not to return to Marine duty, but instead, outfitted himself with assorted weapons and a battle suit that displayed a large skull on the chest, and embarked on a one-man anti-crime campaign throughout New York City. Castle devoted the rest of his life to eradicating organized crime, using the <em>nom de guerre</em> of the Punisher.<br><br>The Punisher uses his combat experience (four years as a US Marine in a special operations unit), guerrilla warfare (combat assault attacks, assassinations, ambushes, hit and runs, bombings, using the enemies' own money, weapons, and supplies against them), urban warfare (using the crowded city of New York to blend in and disappear), psychological warfare (putting fear into the hearts of criminals), using detective-like skills (talking to people, reading obtained files on the people he goes after, tracking and surveying the enemy), always adapting to the enemy such as using the Mafia's own methods and tactics against them (interrogating and torturing suspects to death in order to get information from them) and whatever resources and means may be necessary to do so, ranging from light anti-tank weaponry to enraged polar bears, piranhas, and even a hydrogen bomb.<br><br>The Punisher fought virtually about every known criminal organization, including the Italian Mafia, the Russian Mafia, the Japanese Yakuza, the Colombian and Mexican drug cartels, the Chinese Triads, Jamaican Yardies, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Irish Mob, biker gangs, street gangs, gunrunning militias, muggers, killers, rapists, psychopaths, sadists, pedophiles, and corrupt cops.<br><br>The Punisher also assaulted such criminal business enterprises as drugs, weapons smuggling, money laundering and human trafficking. The Punisher fought organized crime long enough to know their modus operandi and predict their actions. Many of these organizations tried to kill the Punisher, using both their own men and hired contract killers. But the Punisher managed to kill almost every type of assassin, hitman, bounty hunter, and mercenary sent after him.<br><br>The Punisher is highly mobile. He has many bases of operations and did not limit himself to working only in New York city. He has been to many places in the U.S. and around the globe fighting crime such as the British Isles, Latin America (Central and South America), Europe and Russia. The Punisher has an extensive criminal record due to his activities. Law enforcement such as the police, the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and even S.H.I.E.L.D. were aware of his existence and made many attempts to capture him; however, many rank-and-file officers were reluctant to take action against the Punisher because they largely agreed with him. The Punisher himself disregarded what police and the public thought of him. The Punisher killed corrupt cops, but in doing so stirred police into heightened action against him. Castle was also caught and imprisoned (generally in Ryker's Island) many times, but always escaped.<br><br><br><strong>POWERS/ABILITIES:</strong> <br><br>◾ <strong><em>Master Martial Artist:</em></strong> Castle is a very thoroughly seasoned combat veteran of exceptional skills. He is very well-versed in the arts of warfare and hand-to-hand combat. His styles of choice being Nash Ryu Jujutsu, (the four-style martial art founded by his Sensei Adam Nash and the Marine Corps LINE/MAPS combative systems) Ninjutsu, Shorin-Ryu Karate, Hwarang Do, and Chin Na. He is an exceptional knife fighter who carries up to 3 or 4 different types of edged weapons, preferring the knife he learned to fight with in the USMC: the Ka-bar.<br><br>◾ <em><strong>Expert Marksman:</strong></em> He is an exceptional marksman of every type of firearm who is sometimes depicted as being ambidextrous in this respect. He is skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing as well.<br><br>◾ <em><strong>Expert Pilot:</strong></em> Castle received helicopter training with the U.S. Army and U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command.<br><br>◾ <em><strong>Interrogation Expert:</strong></em> Castle uses his interrogating skills to get information from people who has links to criminals through very creative use of torture as well such as water boarding, electrocution, suffocation, sleep deprivation, starvation etc.<br><br>◾ <em><strong>Demolitions Expert:</strong></em> He also received a U.S. Navy SEAL/UDT (Underwater Demolition Team), EOD (explosive ordnance disposal), US Army Ranger training, Army Special Forces Q-Course, and LRRP (Long Range Recon Patrol) training.<br><br>◾ <em><strong>Expert Tactician:</strong></em> Armed solely with conventional weapons and motivated by a fanatical hatred for criminals like those who murdered his family, the Punisher has single-handedly incapacitated up to a dozen well-armed and experienced opponents in a single encounter and escaped uninjured. It is his military training and his attention to detail that allows him to achieve this.<br><br>◾ <em><strong>Strength level:</strong></em> The Punisher possesses the normal human strength of a 6'1" 200-pound man, who engages in intensive and extensive physical exercise. Frank is capable of press lifting up to twice his body-weight and can press lift 400 lbs. Frank engages in a brutal regimen of calisthenics, katas and firing range practice daily, maintaining his combat skills and he does not drink alcohol or do drugs.<br><br><br><strong>WEAKNESSES:</strong><br><br>Castle is as susceptible to physical injury and disease as any other normal human, often having to rely more on strategy than strength when up against a superhuman opponent. However, different characters like Nick Fury have commented on how extraordinarily high his pain tolerance is. Frank does not take even over-the-counter painkillers, believing that their benefit of dulling pain isn't worth the side effects of drowsiness or slowed reflexes.<br><br><br><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong><br><br>The Punisher differs from the majority of vigilantes. The Punisher works outside the traditional system of law and order. He is a remorseless and cold-blooded killer.<br><br>The Punisher possesses no superhuman abilities and succeeds solely through ingenuity and the rigorous training of his military upbringing, a finely honed killer instinct and an extensive arsenal of weapons culled from fallen foes and military allies.<br><br>Unlike most heroes, Castle has no dual identity, no "real world" job, no known hobbies, and few friends. He spends nearly all of his time planning his next hit, stopping only to recover from injuries or fatigue. Money taken from criminals is used to purchase food, weapons, ammunition, and pay the rent of his many safehouses.<br><br>The Punisher also disregards what the police and the public think of him, and is known to kill corrupt cops. He is viewed as a dangerous criminal by the public and by most members of the superhero community.<br><br>Castle's years of vigilantism have made him increasingly cynical about the capabilities of the American justice system, especially in regard to it's failure to successfully prosecute his family's homicide, due to the witnessed killer's false alibi and the mob's influence in the New York City Police Department. The reason Castle kills those he regards as criminals is his desire to make them pay for the pain that they've caused.<br><br>An Army colonel who once questioned Castle asked him why in which Castle responded, "So they can't get away. So they can't profit from the misery they've caused". While it is true that Frank derives a dark pleasure from what he does his motivation is that the thought of letting a criminal he could kill go would "drive him crazy". Some members of law enforcement are reluctant to arrest the Punisher because they believe he often deals with criminals that the law can't convict.<br><br>Castle stated he did not want others to follow his path, on the grounds that his personal war against criminals was his alone, and he harbored resentment toward other (usually short-lived) vigilantes, taking exception at what he saw as their lack of "professionalism".<br><br>The Punisher knows that no matter how many hundreds or thousands of criminals he kills, it doesn't make a difference in the world. Frank knows that his actions don’t make the world a safer place, as seen when a slaving operation continued despite the Punisher's extermination of one cell.<br><br><br><br><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong><br><br>◾ Military equipment as appropriate.<br><br>◾ Kevlar body armor with the iconic white skull painted on the chest. According to Frank Castle, this draws the attention and the aim of the criminals to his heavily armored body, instead of his more vulnerable head.<br><br>◾ Transportation: Many vehicles. Whatever Frank can get his hands on, be it stolen from a mobster he killed moments beforehand or bought with cash taken from the aforementioned mobster and without papers from a shady dealer.<br><br>◾ The Punisher employs a vast array of conventional firearms including machine guns, rifles, shotguns, handguns, knives, explosives and other weapons culled from common and organized criminals and military sources during his operations. A vast majority of his weapons have roots in military forces around the world, and typically employs weapons and accessories limited to military operations.<br><br>◾ The Punisher often customizes his weapons for greater effectiveness with both standard and custom items including magnified optics, reflex sights, night vision scopes, flashlights, grenade launchers, sound and flash suppressors, bipods, high-capacity magazines and drums and various ammunition including hollow point or armor piercing bullets.<br><br><br><strong>KNOWN ENEMIES:</strong> Virtually about every known criminal organization, including the Italian Mafia, the Russian Mafia, the Japanese Yakuza, the Colombian and Mexican drug cartels, the Chinese Triads, Jamaican Yardies, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Irish Mob, biker gangs, street gangs, gunrunning militias, muggers, killers, rapists, psychopaths, sadists, pedophiles, and corrupt cops. Probably many more, but let's not make the list too long.<br>
