Hobie

Hobart "Hobie" Brown is a young adult who after being gifted with spider-like powers and abilities became the masked vigilante known as Spider-Man as a way to fight against the anarchy of London.

Prior to the Spider-War, Hobart had been acting as Spider-Man in his universe's Camden, London for three years. As Spider-Man, he is a performer and activists against fascists. Hobart often includes his music and art as part of his activism.

Despite his disdain for organised power and government, Hobart was recruited by Miguel O'Hara as part of the Spider-Society. With his time as part of the Spider-Society, he befriended Gwen Stacy, allowing her to temporarily reside in his universe and hang out with him. This friendship would also lead Hobart to befriend Pavitr Prabhakar, the two becoming close friends. As part of the Spider-Society he would go on missions with Gwen to capture anomalies, one of these missions resulting in the capture of a Prowler variant.

He eventually formally affiliated with the Spider-Society until he quit after helping start a chaotic chase in Nueva York.

Defined by his anarchism and punk-like attitude, Hobart is very openly against authority and organisation. In his home universe, he is openly against the authoritative regimes that plague his world. He is also a performer, combining with his anti-authority personality to perform his self-defined acts of unpermitted political action under the veil of performing arts. Hobart's rebelliousness makes his affiliation with the Spider-Society tenuous at best; when questioned by Miles as to why he's part of the society, he says it's to look out for his drummer.

Hobie is rather outgoing and sociable, becoming good friends with Gwen Stacy and Pavitr Prabhakar after becoming part of the Spider-Society. He naturally connects with Gwen's musical talents as a drummer, as well as Pavitr's youthful and free-spirited demeanour. Hobart and Gwen were close friends, with him allowing Gwen taking refuge at his place. He also connects well with Miles, who he had heard about prior to meeting him. While Miles was naturally opposed to Hobart at first for his relationship with Gwen, Hobart was nothing but supportive of Miles and his tendency to act on his own, praising him for saving Inspector Singh and offering him advice on how to effectively use his venom powers. This came to a head at the beginning of the Spider-Society's turn on Miles, Hobart helping him by reiterating the advice he gave him before, and quitting the society shortly after the chase begun.

Hobie is a talented musician, a trait which he uses within his performing art pieces. He was also formally a runway model. He believes proclaiming to be a hero is negative, referring to it as "self-mythologising" and "narcissistic", which is part of what puts him at odds with the Spider-Society. Because of this, he believes himself not to be a role-model. Despite this he still has high praise for himself, referring to himself as "this cool the whole time" when he unmasks in front of Miles.

Spider-Punk has superhuman strength (lifting at least one ton), speed, reflexes, endurance and equilibrium. He possesses a precognitive spider-sense warning of impending danger like his extradimensional counterparts.

Able to stick to and scale walls, he can produce webbing to entangle opponents or swing between buildings; whether this is an innate ability or mechanically produced is unrevealed.

He uses his spiked mask as a weapon, head-butting opponents, and also deploys his guitars as impromptu clubs. He is an excellent guitarist, capable drummer, and terrible singer, though he claims this last one is intentional and “punk.”

He has a lean and tall build, usually seen wearing his spiderman outfit together with a sleeveless jacket. Has a generally punk aesthetic, outfit adorned with spikes and accessories. Has multiple facial piercings - most prominent ones being his lip ring, nose ring and eyebrow piercings. Has shoulder length thick brown wicks and dark brown eyes. Speaks with British slang.
