Spinnerette/Characters: Difference between revisions

Cast page for main characters in Spinnerette.

 

A grad student at "Ohio <s>State</s> Research University" who works under Dr. Lambha. Thanks to an accident involving her klutzy ways and the doctor's new "prototype genetic infusion chamber," she has found herself imbued with superpowers derived from spiders. This includes having the proportional strength of a spider ("GIRL ABS!") and super-healing along with six arms and high-tensile spider thread that shoots out of the base of her spine. However, she's not the only super-human person around.

 

 

 

A girl wearing an anime-inspired [[Meido]] outfit with the power to fly and shoot missiles. Turns out to be just a powered suit for a girl {{spoiler|suffering from the very real ALS disease}}. While the suit (or more specifically, the headband) allows her to accomplish superhuman feats, {{spoiler|the disease means she only has a couple years left to live.}} Korean-American; a big fan of the anime ''[[Mahoromatic]]'', whence she got the inspiration for her outfit.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Your Days Are Numbered]]: Comes with the territory of having a terminal illness.}}

 

Formerly a police officer who was given superpowers by the previous "Tiger" after he was shot during a robbery gone wrong. His main traits include super-strength and a short temper, but he knows a lot of hidden superhero history. His Canadian ex-wife divorcing him over his alter-ego lead to an irrational prejudice against Canadians.

 

 

 

A young girl who claimed to take up the spider motif before Spinnerette. Used magic and instructions gathered from [[Dungeons and Dragons]] books to turn herself into an avatar of the spider queen. Defeated by Spinnerette, but got off with a relatively light sentence as she was legally considered a minor in the eyes of the US justice system.

 

 

 

An Objectivist [[Evil Genius]] who is working with Dr. Lambha on an unspecified project. Dr. Universe was once a respected scientist researching the "Cherenkov-Kirby Reaction" but [[Face Heel Turn|reportedly turned evil]] after he read an Ayn Rand novel.

 

 

 

Dr. Universe's [[Most Common Superpower|well-endowed]] assistant, she and Heather do not get along. Greta has the power to create her own localized gravity fields, which lets her pick up and throw objects of almost any size.

 

* [[All Germans Are Nazis]]: Averted, she's visibly uncomfortable around the Nazi remnants who commission a Hitler clone from her boss. Of course she's German-''Brazilian''.

* [[The Dragon]]: For Doctor Universe. She tends to do all of the fighting and heavy "lifting" for him.

* [[Gag Boobs]]

The great-great-great-great-granddaughter of [[The American Civil War|Robert E. Lee]]. She plans to clone him and raise the clone to lead the Confederates anew.

* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]

 

A Canadian werewolf who usually goes by the name London. Annoyed that there aren't many high-level superhero jobs in Canada.

 

 

 

A descendant of the original Anne of Green Gables. Despite being a male, his family made him wear the girly outfit, on the basis that Green Gable is a [[Legacy Character]] passed from mother to child, and just because that child is a boy is no reason to end the tradition.

 

 

 

A French-Canadian catgirl with nine prehensile tails. According to Heather, she was working at an animal shelter and somehow found a magical cat that hid there since the War of 1812.

 

 

 

Heather's well-endowed roommate and confidante at school. Sews outfits for Heather and generally puts up with her antics while she stumbles around trying to get the hang of her powers. Also leans on the fourth wall on occasion by pointing out how impossible some of the spider powers are. Of Indian descent (she wears a ''bindi'' on her forehead).

 

 

 

Working with Dr. Universe on some unspecified project. The main researcher at the lab where Heather works.

 

* [[Hollywood Science]]: He angrily [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] how a TV reporter understands nothing about genetics when she makes a remark about how his research into spider mutations could help find a cure for ''fatness''.

 

Cerberus and guardian of Hell whose job is to capture wayward evil spirits and bring them back.

 

* [[The Three Faces of Eve]]: All at once, with the left head being the child, the central one the mother, and the rightmost the seductress.

* [[Love Interest]]: Heather would ''like'' to think that he is, anyway. She even states that he's the Mary-Jane Watson to her Peter Parker.

 

A superheroine who used to be Ms. Venus but got shut down by DC's lawyers due to her costume looking too much like [[Power Girl]]. She had several children and came back [[Hotter and Sexier]].

 

* [[One-Scene Wonder]] (she has only appeared in a single panel to date, with several passing mentions by other characters thereafter, but everyone brings her up whenever the well-endowed women of this comic are discussed).

 

One of the founding fathers, lost in time. After [[Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act|an incident]] where he [[It Makes Sense in Context|saved Hitler's life]], a convenient time traveler dropped him off in 2002 to prevent the Subprime Mortgage Crisis. He failed, but makes up for it via superheroics in other areas.
