Along Came a Spider or How to be a Hero(Spider-Man/Worm)

How hard is it to actually detect those again? I can't remember.

An MRI should do it. Or just have Panacea touch us.

I mean yeah, it helps, but our abilities could also potentially be explained by a sufficiently powerful tinker. Like Bonesaw.

And having tinker-esque abilities without being a parahuman....Teacher or a similar powerset is also an explanation. And does not require a source of non-human powers.

Yeah, a Bio-Tinker could possibly explain it as well. Though the Green Lantern stuff might help, since it wouldn't be like... well, anything they've ever seen.

I thought the parts of the brain were very nonstandard and hard to point out? Or maybe I'm mixing up fanon and canon.

A sufficiently powerful Tinker could possibly cover the Green Lantern ring. Mind you it'd clearly be the product of an unbelievably powerful and bullshit tinker....but those kinds of capes are hardly unknown quantities.

That said, we barely know anything about the ring and lantern and how to use it. The only thing that'd we might pick up soon is the translator. Which, while useful and potentially game breaking, probably won't get much more than a raised eyebrow.



Seriously though: universal translator, tell me what that Endbringer/golden man/shard is saying.

Huh, I wonder if Spidey might develop a surprisingly good rapport with Bitch.....

Heheh. We get a Green Lantern Ring and our most used, and greatest, power is that of COMMUNICATION!
 
We may want to get a better idea of the situation before we start giving away all our secrets here. We don't know these heroes we are going to meet and we only have minimal information on the world we are in. We could end up institutionalized for being insane, we could be killed for being a threat to someone (quite possibly whoever we were sent here to stop, we don't know IC that that is Scion) or anything really... This would be a good time to be careful with what we say.

Every parahuman has one, aside from some Case 53s whose biology is too weird to properly observe, so they should be detectable with some degree of ease. If nothing else the PRT/Protectorate would have some tinkertech that should be able to detect it in a lab setting.
 
i really wish we could work with cauldron after all they can jump in others dimensions maybe they can go to Marvel or DC and call for help on them, i know there are many things that can go wrong but a man can hope yes
 
Personally, I planned to just admit the truth. They've got Thinkers, and can compare his face to any databases, they'll believe Peter.

On that note, Peter doesn't have to worry about his loved ones in this universe, if he felt like it he could pull a New Wave and go unmasked.

Presumably he'll want to go back home eventually, and Earth Bet may want to establish relations with his home universe, like they have with Aleph. So his identity could conceivably make it back home. Where he is current not there to defend his loved ones.

Yeah, I don't think that'll be happening.

I think you're severely overestimating the capabilities of tinkers if you think there's a tinker that could make a green lantern ring. Because for there to be a tinker that could make something like that, the entities would have had to go up against a civilization that can draw energy from emotions. If they'd done that, then there would be no point to the cycle, since they would have gained access to conceptual bullshit.

No, I think Earth Bet could reasonably attribute the ring as the work of some bullshit Tinker. They aren't in possession of all the facts, such as what the ring can actually do. Hell, Peter isn't in possession of those facts!
 
[X] Did so. I wanted to be around when the girl woke up anyway, and it could be a good way to get to know the locals.
 
Why don't we just deflect attention by pointing out there was a girl trapped in a shit filled locker and she could have been stuck in there for a while if no one had shown up. It'd fit Peter's character more as well about worrying about the girl.

I prefer to honest response in this case,liar just easily detect by tinker interrogator.

Peter: Parahuman? So in this universe,Tony Stark expy won the civil war and regristration of hero then?.
 
...Huh. How many heroes in the Wormverse actually do the spandex thing? How many of them do it well?
Depends on whether they are rich, connected, have crafting usable powers or are in the PRT.

The PRT actually has bullet and knife resistant spandex, though not every cape has the figure to make it work out.
Accord paid for very stylish and coordinated suits.
The Undersiders are bankrolled by Coil, and could spring for professional quality stuff
Taylor had to make her own spidersilk bodysuit, Tinkers don't need elaboration.

Meanwhile from what we've seen, most non-affiliated capes just have a mask and some kind of heavy clothing.

Nontrivial, and it's not common knowledge outside of parahuman research.

Generally, if you see someone doing superhuman things, you call them a parahuman because that's the only known source of powers. Most capes, even registered ones, don't go for brain scans willingly. They're more concerned with what your powers DO than whether your source is the same.

Hero could do stuff with similar results I believe(Word of Wildbow, he had Scion's avatar package in tinker form). And certain tinker equipment could have artificial limitations on the state of mind of the activator, imposed by the Entities.

Whether it really runs on willpower, or if it's keyed to activate properly on high willpower..there's no way for the wormverse to tell. As far as Earth Bet is concerned, it's a piece of tinkertech that produces force constructs, potentially based on study of New Wave.
 
[X] Got out of there. Me and authority don't tend to see eye to eye.

-[X]"I was on my way to the Protectorate anyway to sign up"
--[X]When they find you have no ID ask "Does anyone know how I get new ID after falling through a hole in reality?"

Is he? This is 20 years old Peter Parker. He's been a solo hero for his entire career. He's never dreamed of being an Avengers and while he's well-known and has teamed-up with practically every capes on Earth, most of his them started and ended with his allies supremely annoyed or trying to beat him up. Joining a governmental team he knows nothing about right off the bat? Kinda out of the left field.
