Cast page for main characters in Spinnerette.
 
=== Columbus Superheroes ===
==== Heather Brown a.k.a. "Spinnerette" ====
[[File:Spinnerette_char_page_861Spinnerette char page 861.jpg|frame]]
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.
 
Line 10:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Though sometimes rather ditzy, the fight against Evil Spinnerette reminds us that she is quite competent in the book smarts department.
* [[Bi the Way]]: Shown attraction to at least one male and {{spoiler|ends up getting together with Mecha Maid}}.
* [[Expy]]/[[Gender Flip]]: of [[Spider -Man]]
* [[Gayngst]]: Went through this after {{spoiler|Mecha Maid came out to her}}.
* [[Healing Factor]]
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Quite literally. Even after getting the hang of most of her powers, aiming her web is still proving tricky.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Actually at least above average intelligence, she just dosn't think things through.
* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: The most obvious effect of her powers.
* [[Multi -Armed Multitasking]]: She can use her arms to perform several actions at the same time, and they (especially [[Les Yay|Bottom Lefty]]) tend to [[Organ Autonomy|act on their own]].
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Using her own silk for knitting and making her costume.
* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: Cracks about deodorant usage? How... original.
* {{spoiler|[[Never Say "Die"]]: Heather either can't face, or refuses to accept, the fact that Marilyn really doesn't have much time left. Marilyn finds this quite frustrating, given that it makes talking about the matter with her very difficult.}}
* [[Organ Autonomy]]: When not using them her extra limbs tend to act more or less on their own. Bottom Lefty is particularly... [[Les Yay|frisky]] around Mecha Maid.
* [[Spider Sense]]: She doesn't have it, but she thinks she does or at least likes to pretend.

==== Marilyn Seong a.k.a. "Mecha Maid" ====
[[File:Mecha_Maid_6665Mecha Maid 6665.jpg|frame]]
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.
 
Line 43:
* [[Power Armor]]
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Though usually calm and rational, she gets very frustrated with Heather's trademark [[Plucky Girl|pluckiness]] while trying to discuss the subject of {{spoiler|her mortality}}.
{{quote| '''Marilyn:''' '''God damn it''', Heather! Stop making this so hard!}}
* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]: Invented a device that ''lets paralyzed people walk,'' and just uses it for crime-fighting.
** She claims that she's afraid the tech would be used as a weapon. Given that Dr. Universe's backstory currently suggests that this ''exact thing'' happened to him {{spoiler|(U.S. military swooped in and tried to steal his research and kidnap his assistant)}}, it's not all that ridiculous a fear.
Line 52:
* {{spoiler|[[Your Days Are Numbered]]: Comes with the territory of having a terminal illness.}}
 
==== Jeff Coleman a.k.a. "Tiger" ====
[[File:Tiger_webcomic_7575Tiger webcomic 7575.jpg|frame]]
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.

* [[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''.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: She's of German ancestry, but is proudly Brazilian born and raised. <ref>In fact, this may actually be an inversion within the context of the story; when the younger Nazi, Maus, hits on her, her enthusiasm for her homeland (one of the most multicultural in the world, therefore a Nazi's worst nightmare) leads to a very weirded-out Nazi.</ref>
