Putting this on here as well.
Quite a lot of them, in fact. A fair number of different species of spider, several scorpion varieties, stick insects
You've forced an Omake into my brain and just like QA it is desperate for realization.

Chubster down, CD-5, Shielder, …
The names from his wrist kept coming as Assault alternated between wading and running through the water back towards the battle. He hadn't made it to cover during the last wave. Luckily he's powers were more than enough to let him redirect himself onto a building and out of the brunt of most of it. He could hear the fight up ahead. The landscape around him appearing more and more wrecked, rubble strewn and flipped and distorted hunks of metal lined the former roadway.
Finally he could see the big bad fish man in the distance, a few more blocks and he'd be back in the fight. He flagged down a passing flyer when a deep vibrating drone filled the air, strong enough to cause him to start building kinetic energy. Assault jumped towards the flyer. Just as the cape grabbed ahold of him, the flyer locking his elbows under Assault's pits, Ethan turned his head catching something out of the corner of his eye. An absolutely massive green pillar was forming, about a quarter a mile to his left, quickly shooting skyward at incredible speeds.
"Wha-" Assault was cut off as his new winged friend shouted directly into Assaults ear, pointing to the right, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE!"
Ethan's gaze shifted towards four more massive towers forming right of him. His vision tracked them as the seemed to pause briefly before changing angle heading towards one another.
Then a shadow was cast across the road the were hovering 10 meters above. Looking directly up, Ethan now saw that the SIX protrusions were meeting with a massive segmented beam at least 200 meters above the city.
Unknown Parahuman power detected please standby
"Get us out from under it!" Assault yelled to his flyer.
"Already fucking on it." The teen grunted above him.
Shit why is there a kid here.
They were climbing fast, to the left of whatever this new thing was. It towered over a portion of the city easily a mile long and if standing at its full height almost has tall. At its front, towards the bay were two massive eyes below two antenna that were sticking outwards vertically. The vibrating drone that had present for the past 30 or so seconds fell silent as the creature fully formed.
"Is.. is that a stick bug?" Assault murmured to himself in disbelief.
The creature then began to move. Its front section tilting down at such a speed the rain around it was pushed outwards away from its body. As it angled its front half downwards, its front right foreleg seemed to be moving inwards and backwards before stilling.
Another much louder drone was emitted from the massive bug's mouth as its eyes hovered over where Assault had been heading just moments before.
All parahuman evacuate CD-4. Repeat, all parahuman evacuate CD-4
From their vantage point Ethan could see the capes rushing away from Leviathan as the Endbringer stood still, looking upwards towards this new threat.
After a moment the droning stopped, the moment it did the right foreleg of the insect flicked forwards toward Leviathan at such an intense speed the buildings adjacent to its path stared to crumble inwards as if it had created a vacuum just by moving. If Assaults perception of movement hadn't been enhanced by his powers he'd have missed the moment the clawed tip of the bug's forelimb connected with Leviathan. As it was, he was able to witness the full glory as the superior mass and velocity of this gargantuan creature rammed its way halfway through the Endbringer's form before sending the bastard shooting off into the distance at unbelievable speeds.
Ethan's mouth was agape, everything around him was silent aside from the rain and wind both of which seemed to be lightening quickly.
A gurgling trilling sound came from The Stick Bug, he capitalized the name in his mind, as it moved its head skywards and it's forelimb back to its side.
Leviathan repelled. Repeat. Leviathan repelled.
As the sky began to rapidly clear above them, something else seemed began to form in the sky directly above the bug that had just saved the city.
Shapes of what appeared to be dark particle formed into large words hovering over the insects back.

Just as the words fully formed the savior of the bay began to move side to side in some sort of dance. It's trilling picking up again.
Assault angled his head towards the flyer still holding him before asking. "Am I…did I get a concussion or are you seeing a huge bug dancing too?"
The slack-jawed teen cape holding him just nodded and croaked out, "N-no I see it too."
