âIf Tim Drake was meta, his ability would be shadow travel!â
âNo, immortality!â
âNo, shapeshifting!â
NO. NO. NO. HE WOULD BE SPIDER-MAN. FIGHT ME.
actual explanation:
All âweirdâ behaviour he does? Spider things. Walk with me. Sleeping in the most random places, spider hibernation. Getting in on high building as a child, sticky. Bad eyesight (thats a personal hc), spiders are nearsighted. Really smart, although arachnids have brains that could literally fit on the head of a pin, the work of scientists suggests that they have capabilities we'd have no problem hailing as signs of intelligence if exhibited by animals with much larger brains. (I copied that off safari but my point stands)
Now, youâve read that and youâre probably like âbut, Connor, thats basically nothing, why are trying pushing spider-man! Tim for meta AUâs.â Well, my answer to that is: i donât know. But lets compare Peter Parker and Tim Drake for a minute.
Tim:
Heavily shipped with his friends (Conner, Bart, Bernard, Cassie, the rest of the young justice98 line up)
Bi
Wears red
Photography as a hobby
Skateboards
Smart
Nerd
Two (+more) friends that wear red
Peter:
Heavily shipped with his friends/people he works with (Wade, Johnny, Harry, Ned, Harley, Mary Jane, Gwen Stacy, Felicia, Matt, Flash)
Queer coded/Bi
Wears red
Photography as a hobby
Skateboards
Smart
Nerd
Two (+ more) friends that wear red
See, basically the same person. âBut Connor, when would Tim get bit by the spider, or are you just gonna say he was born with it.â Yes and no, i have no idea how meta powers work in dc, so weâre going with marvel mutants, stick with me.
Tim was born with a mutant (meta) gene, but it doesnât awaken till heâs nine and gets bitten by the spider. The spider itself is a failed lab experiment from one of the rogues. He gets bit when heâs following batman and robin. It gets him sick and he doesnât end up following them for a while because his body is changing. The robin (1 to 2) switch happens, Timâs still in boarding school so he canât follow them everyday anyways.
âIf Tims robin, when does he become spider-man?â
I hc Tim as gender fluid, so he goes by arachnid. Anyways, he becomes that universeâs resident friendly neighbourhood arachnid when his red robin arch happens (AND HE STAYS AS ARACHNID, NO GOING BACK TO ROBIN SHIT!) Dick still tries (and fails) to get him to go to therapy, all that good stuff. He still meets Pru, Owen, and Z. They (minus Pru) dies. You know how the red robin arch goes. Explosion and losing spleens.
Now, this had derailed so much, but iâm going to derail it even more. Anita Fite is this worlds Deadpool, and Cissie King-Jones is this worlds Daredevil. Why is this? Because i said so, anyways this is how it works.
When being trained by her mother, Cissie gets into an accident, loses her sight, that goops/ooze things makes her âseeâ the world like Matt does. She proceeds to relearn archery with her disability, she becomes arrowette, then retires like in canon. But later on, she canât just sit by and let everything happen. She goes to college and gets a law degree, she quits being an actresses. She opens a lawyer place thingy. But its not enough. So she dawns the mantle daredevil.
Anita Fiteâs parents get kidnapped as an attempt to draw Empress out of hiding. She comes to get her parents back, but they get killed in the process. She gets nocked out, then when she wakes up she can regenerate and canât die. She feels like she canât go back to young justice so she takes up jobs as merc. Taking the name Deadpool.
Why did i decide to add them into why i think tim drakeâs meta ability would be spiderman. This was because i was trying to get you guys to think about my team red! Tim, Cisse, & Anita. *insert evil laugh*
I will be drawing art for this later. Good day (do you guys want more of this, because i want more of it, and have to the one make it.)
