geun mun he/him

*FAQ

geun mun, is his identity always going to be kept a secret?
yes. i mean, i would hope so. that's the whole point of spidey! unless i make a few changes but i'm not looking into doing that any time soon.should i call him geun? benji?
people who followed my last attempt at keeping geun alive have always known him as geun. but feel free to call him benji. i stuck with his korean name because, well, he's in korea, and i figured most of the people there would naturally gravitate toward a familiar name. it just made sense to keep it that way. but no, yeah! any name is fine.my muse is talking to geun rn! do you mind if spider-man becomes a topic of discussion?
no not at all! he's a big fan of spider-man and marvel comics. i've made it so that in this universe, he's THE real spider-man, the one marvel took inspiration from! definitely wouldn't hurt to talk about spidey. that being said, the characters in marvel comics ARE real in this universe. i think it would be fun and interesting for our muses to talk about spotting wolverine out in the wild or something.oh no! geun destroyed his home planet.. is there anyway for us to plot in his alt universe?
of course! we'll figure something out. we're not limited to the basics here. i'm pretty flexible with plotting. as long as your brain can handle loopholes and all the overlapping information from different timelines.how many people know he's spider-man?
i'd say about four or five people know, plus one person actively trying to uncover his secret. right now, i'm not looking to plot any more grand reveals as it ruins the integrity of him being spider-man. the whole point is to keep his loved ones safe. knowing who's behind the red mask would only put them in danger, silly billy. sorry! maybe in the future, but for now, no. buuuut we can definitely write scenarios where your muse needs a hero to save them. that can absolutely be arranged. identity reveal? still a no.there's a huge gap in his resume, chief. explain?
yes, yes. i know. get the cameras out of my face. while the original spider-man franchise came out in the early 60s, my portrayal of the character is not completely true to and inaccurate from that established timeline. not my fault geun was born in 1999. BUT THIS IS OC VERSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT nothing has to make sense (coping) you see vampires running up and down the streets of seoul on a warm sunny day all the time and their only form of protection from the sun is some 50fps++++ sunscreen or whatever they're called. relax a little. let's agree to set aside those original comics and pretend they didn't exist. instead, we'll make a reference of the issues published around 2015 as our canonical foundation. that was around the time geun's spider-man officially became the new face for the marvel comic universe. sadly, we also can't discuss TSM or TASM film series for obvious reasons. spidey content from 2015 onward whether in movies, comics or video games is 100% worth acknowledging

the final chapter of a life defined by devastating failures, hope, and the first page of a story yet unwritten. in accepting this redemption, he wasn't just choosing a fresh start, he'd've embraced the responsibility to ensure that history would never repeat itself.𝓲𝓲 .benjamin baxter ﹗﹗born in seoul but adopted as an infant, grew up in boston as the four eyed, only child and the light of his adoptive parents' lives a reincarnation for a soul that had lived before. in this reality, he would walk the same path that had shaped him in his previous life: enduring the loss of loved ones from the start, adapting to changing worlds, and growing into the hero he had once been. but this time, there was a crucial difference.in this alternate universe, spider man exists both as a mysterious heroic figure who had truly protected the city's streets and as a wildly successful fictional character. the rest of the avengers and many other heroic figures came before him. a company known for their popular comics created their own version of him, naming him 𝒑𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓, while the real wall crawler's identity remains anonymous that sparks endless speculation. grainy photographs and shaky video footage of the actual hero inspires the franchise, leading to blends of fact and fiction. benji finds irony in watching his life transformed into entertainment. he didn't mind the cultural phenomenon; if anything, it served as a perfect cover, allowing him to hide in plain sight.at first, when the memories came, benjamin dismissed them as mere daydreams. these flashes of another life felt like static disruptions - bursts of recognition, moments of deja vu that seemed too vivid to be deemed just his imaginations. but these episodes grew more frequent and intense as he grew older. and in his analytical nature, sharp as ever in this new incarnation, helped him piece together the fragments of his past existence. the truth becomes his most guarded secret. instead of following his previous life's path and staying in america with the rest of the avengers, benjamin

undisclosed info unless plotted

despite distances, he never truly left the avengers. they understood his choice to make korea his primary domain, becoming seoul's guardian but when crisis calls, he crosses oceans without hesitation, arriving wherever the team needs him. these reunions always felt special to him. and though he'd grown beyond the wide eyed teenager they first knew, the team still playfully teases and toys with him, calling him their "little webling", a nickname that carries all warmth of years fighting side by side.in saving benji from his doomed timeline came a subtle but persistent cost for the watcher. the very fabric of time had been stretched and folded to accommodate a rebirth, and the universe's attempts to maintain stability left its mark on benji's physical form. his natural ability to teleport only complicates matters. each jump through space creates tiny tears in his already strained dimensional membrane. sometimes his body will glitch in and out of existence as particles. parts of him momentarily shifting out of sync with reality before snapping back into place. an arm might briefly fade into a haze, or his silhouette would ripple. these instances became more frequent as time passes. when others notice, sometimes they'll do a double take, but benji's mastered the art of casual deflection. he knows these glitches for what they were: reminders that he was an anomaly in an already existing reality where he did not belong that sometimes struggles to fully contain him.works at stark industries' seoul division, carving out his own niche as one of the company's most innovative minds. his dual masters in mechanical engineering and computer science laid the foundation, but it's his natural intuition for complex systems that truly sets him apart. stark continues to mentor him through holographic calls as well as lending him his very own EDITH glasses for faster communication, sometimes even occasional in person visits. benji now deliberately steers clear of anything relating to time travel. when asked about his career, he'll turn evasion into an art form, spinning a different story each time. one day he's a struggling street food vendor, the next a photographer, and sometimes just a self proclaimed professional couch surfer. his favorite routine lately involves dramatically begging for a part time job to make rent. people who fall for this, mostly those who know of his girlfriend in the professional field can't quite figure out how a self proclaimed broke guy managed to win over someone like her.loves to play his video games and read spider man comics curled up in his chair at home. gaming has become his escape and his way of unwinding after long days of being both hero and engineer. his current obsession is marvel rivals, though it's become a source of entertainment as well as frustration for reasons only he could truly appreciate. he struggles to play as spider man in game; he'll complain about how difficult his character's designs and mechanics are, eventually writing his very own steam review. a somewhat detailed critique about how unrealistic spider man's movements are, complete with frame by frame analysis of why the web slinging physics made absolutely no sense and how crawling on walls were clearly designed by someone who's never experienced being stuck to the ceiling before.physical contact with him is an experience unlike any other. it's a sensation that feels like gentle static charges dancing across skin, like thousands of microscopic needles. but they don't hurt. much. just distinctly otherworldly, like a tingling buzz that lingers in the aftermath of a gentle shock. he's never known the exact cause of this. perhaps it's a side effect of time manipulation, his body still adjusting to being rewritten. that, or maybe it's the result of his powers. a radioactive, teleporting spider did bite him after all. his own personal theory is that it's a combination of both; a quantum state fluctuating between solid matter and pure energy.has bonded with the venom symbiote in the past upon investigation of a crashed space shuttle containing the alien specimen. with venom as a suit, benji's ability reached new heights. the symbiote felt like an addiction enhanced. agility doubled, strength tripled, and teleportation was nothing he'd ever experienced before. the suit felt alive - and it was alive. it was responsive in ways his previous suit never could be. the merge was perfect. too perfect. benji began to lose sight of who he was beneath all the anger that came from being attached to this symbiote. venom has now found a new host. though they're separated now, the connection lingers and venom craves the connection with benji as a host more than anything.
