Personal Information[edit]
- Real Name: Gene Sanderson
Gene grew up with an arachnid fascination that proved instrumental in his school aspirations. It was useful having an idea someone had not come up with before, thus the thesis that lead to his dissertation and a PhD regarding spider silk and applied physics and cosmic radiation. He knew that with the right unknown key factors that he could develop superior collection and transmission material for cosmic energy.
Patu digua, measuring in at a fraction of a millimeter, had shown very adaptive properties. When it was subjected to an energy rich, food scarce environment, it made a transition which would validate Dr Sanderson's beliefs that an earthbound creature could survive on something other than its normal level of nutrients. Tests were then moved to outer space where Patu digua adapted further. Their webs were found to specifically capture cosmic radiation which were more abundant outside of Earth's atmosphere.
Elated, Gene moved his research to deep space on a dedicated research platform in an attempt to further perfect the ground breaking silk that his little Cosmicam Patu digua could produce. Little did Gene know, isolation in deep space had some draw backs, mostly psychological and social. He had a hard time not going stir crazy and he ended up playing with his spiders more than was healthy. He could imagine that they were talking to him, so he started talking back. As it so happens, the spiders were talking to him and took the developing relationship as an opportunity to save Gene's life.
Unbeknownst to the scientist, a lethal wave of cosmic radiation was heading his way. So the spiders told Gene about it and they took it upon themselves to protect their creator. This involved a very intrusive introduction of the spiders making their way into Gene. The transition for Gene was not pleasant, but he survived the threat and with the spiders help was able to rebuild the systems within the platform.
The infusion of cosmic energy into his system sustained him but it also changed him. He was able to go without food and process O2 and H2O from the environment around him. His senses were razors edge sharp, he felt nimble like a spider. But he could now control and talk the the spiders, like a hive mind effect.
The next couple of days, born out of necessity and the desire to invent brought together a suit and a dedicated ecology of spiders that maintained it. The work was enlightening and rewarding. Gene found he was able to with the host of spiders absorb and control cosmic energy. Oh the wonders.
It was not too far into his journey of discovery, weeks really, that the slavers came.
