#iris spider

The Iris Spider largely dedicates themselves to helping out their community, so even if they get into some physical fights it’s never been a large-scale confrontation or disaster. The last half of this comic takes place about a year into MJ’s vigilante gig. She was hanging out at the skating rink with Gene at the Rockefeller Center when things suddenly took a violent turn. (There’s a reason behind this attack, but that won’t be revealed for a long time) An explosive went off causing mass panic, and MJ knew she had to gear up and help out. Gene urged MJ to do her thing, and they split up. What none of them knew, was that there was a second explosive, and that caused a few casualties plus more wounded. Gene didn’t make it, and MJ’s inability to save her is something she still holds onto. Her role as the Iris Spider started to carry more weight from that day onward.

More Iris stuff!! Boyfriend got another commission ( by @ bobafiish on instagram, go check her out ) of Iris that includes his spidersona and another friends. The black and white twins are Max and Izzy, and the one with the blue/yellow/purple suit is Pedipalp, or Paige ( actual name ). We call our group of spidersonas the Arachnobats. We’re all in the process of writing backstories for these guys still. I’ll post mine when I finish it.

This comic takes place maybe only 2 months after the Rockefeller Incident. Her family knows her well, but Vic knows her the best. He finds some blueprints MJ had been working on, and he knows it’s not a random coincidence that she’s working on spider gear. It makes even more sense why the incident seems to weigh down his sister with such intensity, as if she holds herself responsible for it. He doesn’t beat around the bush and decides to confront her about it. He knows he won’t be able to talk her out of being the Iris Spider, so he wants her to know she doesn’t have to do it all alone.

I’ve realized that I haven’t posted anything related to my spidersona here, so I will post a bunch of the stuff I have of insta.

MJ is a college freshman who loves robotics and biochemical engineering!! She was mutated by a bite from a radioactive bold jumper when she was 15, and has been the Iris Spider for 3 years! Her best friend Gene was the first person she confided in about the mutation, and her brother discovered the truth on his own. I had the idea that in the early days of her patrols through the streets of Brooklyn, she’d use way too much webfluid to secure anyone she apprehended. The city dubbed her the mysterious iris spider, and it just stuck from there.

In general, MJ is the oldest of four kids and always strives to lead by example. She tends to get overwhelmed easily, but they’re used to working through the pressure. They have a bad habit of pushing themselves beyond their limit. She’s lucky to have family and friends that keep her grounded and remind her to take breaks. When she isn’t filling up her schedule with school and patrolling the city, she’s telling absolutely terrible jokes and watching tv with her family. She loves listening to new music and doodling random designs for potential projects. Her mind is always creating.

We’re in the present everyone!!! MJ is 18 and starting college now. We’ll see her open up again and make new friends! We’ll also see her take on new enemies, some more serious than just a villain of the week. Feel free to make some guesses about who else we’ll see in this story. (I’ve already shown some faces in this comic :3)

May I see the iris snippet? 👀

Here ya go:

“I’m gonna take a nap real quick.” I then fell asleep almost immediately afterward. When I woke up I was in a lab, strapped to a table. What the fuck. Is this a nightmare. Where am I. I started looking around and saw 10’s upon thousands of terrariums with spiders in them. I looked over and saw one on a cart with a purple and white in it next to me. My heart sank through the floor. I tried to prevent the anxiety attack I could feel coming. Then a man walked in the door, in a lab coat with HEX written on it “My god, look at you…” He mumbled as he reached for my face and I flinched away. “Who are you?! Where am I?!” I spat in his face. “You know who I am!” He yelled, slapping me across the face. Holy shit. This is real. “ Don’t ever speak to your own father like that again.” My eyes widened. Father? How? “You can’t be my father, he doesn’t want anything to do with me.” I hissed back. “ If only you knew.” He opened the top of the terrarium and picked up the spider with some tweezers. “ Wait wait-!” He lifted my sleeve and it bit me on the arm. “Fuck!” I tried to move away from the sting but I couldn’t. Pain surged through my body, making me cry out in pain. My head throbbed and it felt like my cells had been ripped apart and put back together. “Now, lets see.” He moved his hand as to hit me and I ripped out of the restraints and grabbed it. How did I do that? Holy shit. Run. I broke out of the other restraints and started to run for the door. I turned right running down the hall faster than I ever had. Where am I? Exit. Gotta find one. Red sirens started blaring. Fuck. I kept turning corners hoping to find one. Men started chasing me and shooting at me but I managed to dodge the bullets. How was I doing that? I saw door with “ exit” above it. I ran out of it and into a heavily wooded area, climbing a tree to get away from the presumable guards that were coming for me.

( good luck figuring out context lol, this is right in the middle )

For all of my mutuals who saw my Spidersona post, I’m in the process of writing a backstory for them( their real name is Ryley, spider name is Iris). Tell me if y’all want a me to leak a snippet of it
