Kilik Kayman (Earth-444)

"The world doesn't accept heroes any more. We've been driven from the public surface, some of us even having to go underground. You may call me a villain, but I'm not. I'm simply fighting for my people, whether the humans think themselves good or not."

Birth
Kilik Joseph Kayman was born to Dr. Karl and Kara Kayman at 4:44 am, on March 27, 1998. Born an abnormally small baby (smaller than any premature), Kilik was placed in a Gamma Incubator, at the instruction of his father, a radiation expert. The Incubator was built to, supposedly, accelerate the growth of premature babies using a combination of gamma radiation and Moose DNA (since the cells that make up the antlers of a moose are the fastest growing animal cells in nature). However, the nurse in charge of inserting the chemical syrum into the Gamma Incubator accidentally switched the Moose DNA with an unstable batch of radiated Spider DNA (which, at the time, was being reserved for another premature baby, Simon Osborn). The radiated Spider DNA mixed with Kilik's own DNA, enhancing his senses and strengthening his bones. However, no one would discover this till later on in his life. The DNA succesfully accelerated his growth (physical and mental), and he began to grow as a normal infant would.

Childhood
Kilik, at a young age, developed a love for science, similar to his father. His mother, however, refused to allow him to become a radioligist (specifically, gamma radiation), due to the fact that his father had developed radiation poisoning (which she would not reveal to him till after his father's death). Kilik agreed and instead found a deep love for animals and cross genetics. Kilik had always had a close connection to insects, however, and soon found that he had a strange empathy link to spiders.

One day during 1st grade, Kilik was being bullied on the play ground by a group of kids. As Kilik grew angrier, a swarm of spiders began to crawl upon the bullies. They ran away, screaming and crying, and Kilik discovered that he could control spiders using his emotions.

Making Friends
When Kilik went to middle school, he made friends with two people who would make a long lasting impact on his life: Simon Osborn and Gwen Stacy.
