My Name is Gloria Peterson. And I am most definetely not a good person.
That is the first thing I would like to mention.
I don't like most people. Don't get me wrong, I just like being by myself and doing what I wanna do. Reading, Watching movies and doing other activities.
Alone.
By Myself.
I also hate getting stressed out and going out of my confort zone for others.
So...
How the hell did I end up with perhaps the most stressful, depressing and highrate dead body count job... a superhero. In a supposed world of fiction, colours and panels but also horrors, death and tragedy given form and structure by mortal men.
Funny enough, I wasn't even an OC ( that means original charachter FYI), no, I was reborn under a real unfortunate name that I knew soon would spell my doom and more so my misfortune.
I was reborn as perhaps one of the poorest, most miserable and unlucky hero.
Who coincidentally was also one of the best, selfless and greatest. He was The Amazing, The Incredible, The Spectacular, The Ultimate. The Wallcrawler, The Menace, the one and only friendly neighborhood Spider.
Do you understand my dilemma now?
How could I, (self-reclaimed) the symbol of selfishness and introverty be a superhero. I doubt I could live up to his name.
((I guess I forgot include my pessimism and self-worth issues to my self-description)).
Simple. With a tragic and stupid origin story.
It all began with a bad day. That was all it took.
I didn't want to be a superhero.
I can't.
I have to.
I am not perfect. I am not like him at all.
But goddamnit it all, I swore myself when I put on my costume, that I would honor his legacy and philosophy. That I would redeem myself, became the best version of myself and make him proud, make all of them proud.
Be the person that reaches out a hand, when no one will.
Be humble and honest, no matter who or what you are.
Never give up fighting, even when everything goes bad, because.....
"Anyone Can Win A Fight When The Odds Are Easy! It's When The Going's Tough, When There Seems To Be No Chance, That's When It Counts!"
So this will be my life and my legacy.
Why?
Because...
"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words:
'With great power comes great responsibility.'
This is my gift, my curse.
Who am I? I'm Spider-Man."
In this case Spider-Woman (I guess?), but potayto, potahto, am I right?
