## Biography

#### Origin

Joseph was infected by a family of black widows at age 7. His parents had to risk losing so much money for paying medical bills to keep their son alive. During a day in high school, Joseph had consumed a strange substance called "Black symbiote". It strangely reacted to his body's blood cells and DNA. According to the doctors, Joseph would die in four months. Despite this, Joseph took advantage of this and realized he developed an odd-looking appearance with a spider insignia and alien eyes, using a handmade wrist device that can control the effects of the symbiote.

#### Becoming the Obedient New Earth Spider-Man

Joseph hung around a public park with Logan, a female friend who is a cyborg with bionic legs, until he mentally heard a voice alerting about a "mission to fulfill". Donning his symbiote suit and some clothing items, he goes to stop two citizens who aren't complying with Zeeko's policy about using old currency. After hearing a random yell about Spider-Man, Joseph began to call himself as the Obedient New Earth Spider-Man, an ally to Zeeko World Security. He had tackled some anti-Zeeko protesters, and protected a wolf neo-human who appeared to be offended at the name "Canada", where a cyborg misfit with a crossbow arm grew up.

#### Conflicted About Zeeko and Changing Sides

In an attempt to capture a cyborg misfit, Joseph becomes confused over the frequent mindset about living in a prison planet. Even after a webcam conversation with another friend, the teen was curious about the reality of Zeeko. His father enters his room, confronting him about the crimefighting while wearing his hand-me-down jacket. Joseph refused to say much to his old man, having to leave his bedroom as the symbiote chemicals alerted him for a new mission. After capturing some anti-Zeeko citizens, Joseph turned to Coach Ige from Nexus Labs for an antidote to fully cure his illness. When he woke up after dealing with three other thought criminals, Joseph found himself in his bedroom, seemingly imprisoned for using his illness to fight crime. Mr. Reggie believed it was best to keep his son in his room to monitor him. Joseph also realized the medication he received growing up was the cause of his failing health, and the black symbiote was trying to help him heal from the mainstream drugs, and possibly from the bites left by the black widow family.

When visiting California to witness a protest against Zeeko, Joseph ultimately made a choice: *to side against the police corporation.*

#### **Aunt Harriet's Encouragement and Rescuing Logan**

While staying with the kindly Aunt Harriet, Joseph received a phone call from Zeeko's masked officers. Aunt Harriet encouraged him to do what he thinks is right as his "greatness is itching to blossom". As the O.N.E. Spider-Man, Joseph rescues his friend from a small group of masked officers who wanted him to surrender. Since he received a blue antidote bottle from Coach Ige, the teen decided to hold onto it until he feels he's completed his goal to protect thought criminals.

#### ***Wanted: Sladerik***

The O.N.E. Spider-Man appeared to rescue Sladerik and Shar from a pit of molten iron, angering Zeeko's masked officers, and the chairman of the corporation.

## Abilities and Fighting Skills

With the "Black Symbiote" substance and the bites from the black widow family, Joseph can somehow possess the abilities of a spider. He can shoot webs and cling to surfaces.

## Personality

Growing up, Joseph was loyal to Zeeko World Security, even though he was sick from taking medication that was supposed to help him heal from black widow bites. At age 17, he would consume a mysterious chemical that would react to his blood and DNA. He would feel conflicted about whose side to join between the anti-Zeeko crowd of the police corporation. When he was overly monitored by his father, who was working a cure, Joseph began to realize that he was poisoned by the medication and not from the strange "black symbiote". Joseph eventually uses his powers to protect the thought criminals against his formerly admired corporation.
