Y'know what, with the updated OP, I think I'm going to juice up Spidey. So with no further ado:
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, aka Peter Parker, aka 'The World Weaver'
POWERS:
Webbing: Ultimate Spider-Man's webbing is nigh unbreakable, and only fades when he wills it. He produces it naturally, and doesn't just bind the body. Mind, spirit, every aspect of a person is trapped within the webbing. The more one struggles within the web, the tighter it holds them. If Spidey is touching the webbing, it begins to drain their strength and energy into him, for a time. However, it is not limited to merely binding people. Spider-man can bind anything with form, even things that are otherwise immaterial or intangible, such as ghosts or even magic spells. His webs are immune to heat or cold, even managed to trap a rogue sun in his webs on one occasion. He can also use it to swing on, which is fun.
Stick 'Em Powers: Ultimate Spider-Man can stick to anything, and through it, make it stick to anything. He can use this to immobilize a foe simply by tapping them and making them stick to the floor. With a mere touch, he can even stick a person in time or space, preventing them from aging, moving, or even recognizing what has happened until he un-sticks them.
Spider-Sense: This is arguably Spider-Man's most useful and profound ability. With it, he can sense danger on a multiversal scale with precision accuracy, along with exactly the actions he must take to avoid it. Note: This warning only tells him how to ensure his OWN survival, no one else's. Due to Peter's sense of morality, this can be problematic. More useful in the short term, his Spider-Sense warns him of any danger in future, to the point he will know you're planning against him before you even begin to, or even can consider doing so. But the Spider-Sense does not stop at mere threats. It is effectively a web connecting all living things, and with focus, Spider-man can follow the web, listening in or seeing anywhere there is life. He can't communicate or act there, but he can see or hear all that happens wherever he focuses upon.
Strength: Spider-Man's base strength allows him to easily lift the equivalent weight of the Earth, but when pressed, that strength skyrockets even further. During one event, he held the combined weight of the entire universe upon his shoulders to keep it from collapsing upon itself.
Speed: His speed is nigh unmatched. Able to move faster than even Ultimate Thor in short bursts, he's over a thousand times faster than lightning. While he can't keep it up over long distances, in combat? You'll find few faster than the Ultimate Spider-Man.
Agility: Ultimate Spider-Man is so agile he can easily balance his full weight on any part of his anatomy (yes, even that.) He can even do so on a highly unstable pile of rubble without destabilizing it. He can even 'bend' through reality itself, attaining a brief form of intangibility, allowing him to pass through solid objects.
Survivability: Spider-Man's durability initially wasn't that great. However, his strength is his healing factor. He can heal from critical wounds by entering a cocoon, and each time he does this, he becomes much more resistant, nearly invulnerable, to whatever wounded him so. Over the course of his career, this has left him able to withstand even the energy release from a breach between dimensions, which warped everything else around into nothingness.
Additional Senses: Spider-Man can see in the dark, over far distances, and additional spectrums of light, including other planes of existence, such as the Astral Plane.
Webwalker: Spider-Man can 'walk the web', allowing him to easily travel between universes.
Venom: Arguably Spider-Man's most lethal ability is his venom. He can inflict this through any physical contact, and can choose the effects, from paralysis, to fever, to hallucinations capable of afflicting even multiversal threats. His most powerful Venom, however, can only be inflicted through a bite or scratch of his claws, and this is a death sentence if it hits the bloodstream. Over the course of fifteen minutes, the victim's very being gradually breaks down, fading from existence. This erases all memory of them from everyone in that reality, save Spider-Man. The only way to reverse the effects is to leave the reality in which you were poisoned, at which point the poison is expunged from your system. Spider-Man has only used this level of Venom once. But who he used it on, or why, no one can remember.
Intelligence: Ultimate Spider-Man is a genius of the highest order, able to understand vast concepts instantly and remember everything he see's with absolutely clarity. Among his inventions stands an upgrade to the Ultimate Nullifier, removing it's risks, and replacing the Watcher's stolen eyes with bionic ones capable of seeing even more than their natural predecessors.
HIGH END FEAT: Once held the universe from falling through a breach in dimensions, before sealing the breach with webbing.
LOW END FEAT: Consistently beats Ultimate Firelord. Because he did it ONCE and Firelord just CAN'T LET IT GO.
ORIGIN
Peter Parker was your average everyday nerd until he was bitten by a radioactive spider. This killed him, because radioactivity plus spider venom is a bad combo for your health. Drifting between life and death, he met Anansi, the Weaver of Worlds. Anansi explained that once, there were an infinite number of singular universes, each completely separate and fragile. When a great evil threatened to shatter all universes, breaking from one to another. Anansi and a group of heroes from shattered universes joined together to combat it. When all seemed nearly lost, Anansi wove together all the universes into a web, strengthening their bond with each other, effectively creating what we know as the Multiverse. But Anansi is old, weak, and his web is not as strong as it once was. Fearing the return of the Great Evil, he wished to pass his mantle and diminished power on to grow strong once more. This power would revive Peter stronger than ever, but there would be a cost.
After much thinking, Peter remembered his Uncle Ben's words about 'Great power and responsibility', and determined he would pay the cost for the power to do the right thing. On his first outing as 'The Spider-Man', however, he was still enjoying finding the limits of his abilities, and a simple mugger escaped his watch as he played. Figuring he could always catch the mugger later with his new powers, Peter let him go to keep testing his abilities. Later that night, he found his Uncle Ben dead by that same mere mugger, teaching Peter the value of his power, and the great responsibility that comes with it.
... Eh, I could take or leave the Origin story... I tend to prefer a scientific background for the webhead instead of the mystic stuff, but this was the first way I thought of to make him as strong as Ultimate Spider-Man is. Kind of tricky to do with SCIENCE! I'm open to suggestions.
