Okay so I need everybody to picture this with me.
I was watching Into the Spider Verse, and I was like, hm. I wonder if an edgedancer could run along a wall like that, because of the friction thing. And then I was thinking about how they both move really fluidly and I was like I wonder if an edgedancers could be spiderman.
BUT NO
BETTER
Windrunner
Windrunner spiderman. Guys this is genius.
They both learn to steady themselves when falling and moving through the air by angling their body. And they can both stick to walls! And I know when we think of windrunners we think more of flying but really, if they use gravitation in a short burst instead of prolonged, it's the same type of movement! A strong pull in one direction, and then using your own body and slight adjustments, pulls in other directions, to more acutely change your course. Windrunner's tend to be described as basically flying, but the jerky motion? That's the same kind if movement. And windrunners should spend more time walking on walls and stuff. I think if they had big cities with tall buildings and stuff like this they would absolutely be getting themself up onto places they shouldn't to hang out. Guys you gotta imagine this with me because I think it's pretty awesome. Take a windrunner and drop them in NY, that's basically spider man already. "With great power comes great responsibility" like they would eat that up. Kaladin's whole issue is not being able to save everyone, and balancing his own life with his sense of duty!
That being said, I'd like to propose Lopen as the most fitting of the spiderman swag. He's got the jokes, he's got the hometown vibe. He loves sticking to walls. And also I suggest Sigzil as his guy in the chair.
Someone please understand my vision
