## Biography

### Early Life

Born 1999, Shealyn was orphaned at the early age of five when her mutant powers came in and caused an explosion, which killed nearly her entire family. Following the traumatic event, SHIELD went to find her in an attempt to take her under their custody, but **Aunara Justus** managed to get to her just in time, taking her under her wing. Most of her childhood continued rather normally, with the exception of her constant training to keep her powers under control.

It was decided that she wouldn't be introduced to the organization her guardian was Head of until she could at least manage to use her powers at will, in moderation, without revealing her status as a mutant.

It was during a trip to visit her only living uncle, Paul Black, that the plans had been altered. While traveling through the streets of Union City, New Jersey, Shealyn, Aunara and Ayden happened upon a pair of mother and daughter being publicly assaulted by criminals.

The pair consisted of a young Anya Corazon and her mother, the former being a recently turned mutant who was just on the brink of revealing her powers before Ayden swiftly intercepted their assailants, compelling them to answer her truthfully as she interrogated them before sending them off after making them forget all about their mission and the Corazon family.

Meanwhile, Shealyn had observed the way her guardian interacted with the frightened pair who knew no other word than "help" in English. After a translation and explanation of what Aunara was conversing with them in Spanish by Ayden, the three were introduced and welcomed into the Gemini Network, where Shealyn would engage a new training routine, with newly renamed Megan as her partner at the early ages of nine and eleven.

## Personality

> "*I guess... I just wanted to change myself too... see if **anyone** would notice. I walk around school... I have my friends, but they're just as closed off as I am. People look at us, but they don't see... they don't bother to remember who we are.*"

In contrast to her best friends Michelle Gonzales's serious persona and Kevin Jameson's happy-go-lucky personality, Shealyn is a very quiet girl, who still likes to mingle amongst others her age despite how reserved and self-cautious she is most of the time.

 Powers and Abilities

### Powers

#### **Mutant Abilities**

* **Enhanced Agility:** Due to her petite stature, Shealyn has developed an almost superhuman agility, an ability that permits her to move much more quickly than a regular human, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or much exhaustion.
* **Enhanced Senses:** With many years of training under her belt, Shealyn has learned to attune her senses, to the point where her senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste exceed those of a regular, and considerably even other mutants, Inhumans or mutates with enhanced senses.
* **Enhanced** **Durability:** She can take a great amount of physical damage without being slowed down. She, still, can react to physical force in a human manner, so far as occasionally being affected even by human-strength-level force. She can also still be stunned and dazed by strikes and trauma.
* **Pain Tolerance:** Her tolerance for physical trauma & fatigue was far greater than the average human being even before she became a super soldier.
* **Healing Factor:** Shealyn's healing is nowhere near that of a super-soldier, or a vampiric mutate, but it is still very quick, however limited to physical damage to her body; she cannot grow back body parts, though internal organs would be an exception.
* **Sensory Deprivation:** Shealyn's main mutant power is the ability to cut one's senses, be it sight, taste, smell, touch, and hearing. This skill of hers manifests in the form of dark purple mist, which upon contact with someone, paralyzes them and cuts off all, or some of their senses as she desires. This ability does not reach full effect instantly, it creeps upon the victim, though she can retract it with her mind.
* **Explosion Touch:** Shealyn also possesses the ability to cause explosions at her mere touch; this ability was the first to manifest upon her fifth birthday, in which her family passed away following the explosion caused by her.
	+ **Explosion Manipulation:** When she grows older, she eventually learns how to extend this skill till she is capable of, not only creating and shaping, but also manipulate explosions at a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner.

#### **Ghost Spider Abilities**

**Spider Physiology:** After Shealyn underwent an accidental power transfer with Megan Walsh and gained Megan's powers, she gained the proportionate physical capabilities of a spider.

* **Superhuman Strength:** Ghost Spider possesses considerable superhuman strength, due to it being the proportional strength of a spider. Her strength alone is sufficient enough to catch a 1.5-ton car that is moving at 40 miles an hour.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Ghost Spider can run and move much faster than an ordinary human and is adept at dodging quickly. She is also quick enough to catch up to a speeding vehicle on foot.
* **​​​​​Superhuman Durability:** Ghost Spider's body is inhumanly resistant towards impact force, her endurance increased in depth compared to her powers mutant durability.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Ghost Spider is superhumanly agile, capable of swinging around on thin spider-webbing and jumping great distances and heights without difficulty. Her bones, muscles, and joints have more elastic strength and durability, allowing her to perform gymnastic and contortionist maneuvers without damaging her bone structure.
* **Superhuman Equilibrium:** Ghost Spider possesses a heightened sense of equilibrium which greatly enhances her balance and coordination. She is able to adjust her position by instinct, which enabled her to balance on a string of web and perform a somersault, as well as catch a web cartridge while standing on the railing of a fire escape.
* **Enhanced Senses:** Ghost Spider's senses are greatly enhanced to the point where she is able to sense potentially dangerous things shortly before they occur.
	+ **Enhanced Vision:** Her sense of sight is superhuman, to the point that she is forced to wear dark goggles to prevent it from handicapping her in a battle.
	+ **Spider-Sense:** Ghost Spider's brain intakes and responses to stimuli at an accelerated rate, alerting her to dangers around her as a sixth sense. This awareness functions on a subconscious level, thus alerting Ghost Spider of dangers she cannot readily notice at first, allowing her to effectively dodge and counter incoming attacks in combat, including projectiles aimed at her from a blind spot.

* **Wall-Crawling:** Ghost Spider can adhere to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces in order to scale them without any need for any adhesive gloves or fabrics to do it. This ability allows her to stick to almost any surface when willing herself to, as physical contact with said surfaces creates a locking connection necessary to support her body, even when she is inverted above the ground.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Ghost Spider's increased metabolism allows her to rapidly heal and regenerate from harm faster and more extensively than normal humans can recover from.
