Hobie Brown (often known as Spider-Punk) is defined by his staunch anarchism, deep intellect, and anti-authoritarian streak. A charismatic and effortlessly cool Camden native, he rejects traditional superhero labels. Though he projects a rebellious and chaotic exterior, he is fiercely loyal, generous, and secretly serves as a caring mentor. While his exterior is jagged, counterculture, and chaotic, he is genuinely sweet and deeply values the people around him. He acts as an unconventional, albeit highly effective, mentor figure. Beneath his rebellious aesthetic, he is a brilliant inventor and improviser, able to clandestinely hack into and reverse-engineer complex technology (like dimensional watches) right under the noses of his peers. ☆ headcanons: ☆ Has a soft spot for kids because he was neglected himself when he was their age. ☆ Knows how to sew, albeit in his own unique way. ☆ Speaking of sewing, he sewed the patches onto his pants himself. ☆ Started underage drinking & clubbing when he was 15-16 years old because his mom was an alcoholic. ☆ He paints his nails often, and it's always VERY messy. People question if he's just bad at applying nail polish but he insists it's "just an anarchic statement bruv." ☆ Has a black cat named Missy whom he randomly found on the streets one day & decided to adopt. ☆ Would wear skirts just to piss people off. ☆ Minched beef pie & pigs in blankets are his go-to comfort foods. ☆ Hands out small trinkets to the rest of the spider gang, like cassettes of music that reminds him of them, pins, or beaded bracelets he made himself. ☆ (Here's a more angsty one) when his mom died from alcoholism, he was the only one at the funeral, since all his siblings & father have either passed or left. ☆ Feeds street cats. ☆ There's plenty of homeless kids in his universe, so he often brings them what he can and plays the guitar for them. ☆ Had an older sister named "Cath" (Catherine) that was a punk, she gave him her old guitar when he was a kid before she moved out. ☆ Believes that education is important, but hates how corrupt the school system is. ☆ Does graffiti murals around his dimension when he's out as Spider-Man, (does it on police station walls to piss them off, almost got caught once).
