♛ Devil-Spider ♛

Dominic Deverell went to school at MIT and majored in astronomy and astrophysics, starting an internship program at Oscorp as they were interested in persuing satellite and space probe technology. He eventually worked there, though this wouldn't last long as during his job, he was tasked with inspecting the payload for a probe he was helping design; live specimens consisting of several spiders from a different project in the company that Dominic had no knowledge of. While moving one of the tanks containing the spiders, he found the lid was not secured properly and one of them escaped, biting his hand as he tried to replace it.

In the middle of the night, he awoke to find that all of his senses has been heightened to an alarming degree, including his vision, making even the smallest amount of light present extremely painful and blinding. In his struggle to keep everything under control, he was visited by the vigilante Daredevil and eventually taken under his wing to learn to control his powers.

Soon afterwards, the two found out Dominic's powers came from a strange experiment conducted by Oscorp that Wilson Fisk was funding. Their goal was to try and recreate Daredevil's powers. Fisk arranged to have Dominic laid off as the entire division he worked in was dissolved completely, and he knew he was on the radar now. Dominic became fed up with trying to dodge Fisk that he attempted to take the man on himself, though it ended horribly when he was severely outmatched and Daredevil attempted to save him, costing him his life.

His guilt soon turned to anger, and he took up the persona of Devil-Spider, filling the gap left behind by Daredevil's death.

During his grieving, Foggy Nelson was elected District Attourney and offered him a job at the DA's office, aware of his secret identity through Matt, and, on occasion, gives him tips for when he dons the mask.

Dominic, outside of his superhero garb, appears fairly unassuming. He has an undercut where the rest of his hair is nearly shoulder length and dyed red, his natural color being a dark brown, and keeps a bit of stubble for his facial hair. He has a fairly athletic build, though usually dresses in fairly loose clothing and hoodies when not at work, which tends to hide it. After recieving his powers, he now wears very heavily tinted red sunglasses that block most light and allow him very limited vision, but also hide the fact his eyes changed to a very stark red color.

In terms of powers, his general skillset and abilities are almost identical to Daredevil's, with a few strange additions being that they were granted by a different spider from the same experiment that ended up creating Spider-Man. He has superhuman senses, able to hear a person's heartbeat in their chest, though this comes at the cost of most of his range of vision, limiting him to only be able to really see in extremely low light, can crawl on walls, has enhanced strength (but is not nearly as strong as the real Spider-Man), and possesses elongated canines capable of injecting a non-lethal, paralytic venom.
