History WMG / Spinnerette

Yes [[PeterIsTheWolf THAT Peter Stubbs!]] He decided that the safest place for a werewolf runt being chased by crazed men in biohazard suits would be in the public spotlight as a superhero. He moved to Canada to avoid awkward issues with friends and family, and helps deal with any other lycanthropes who break TheMasquerade, either by helping them slip away if they're harmless or by helping his team take down the genuinely dangerous ones.

* [[http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/12/26/12262011/ Somewhat confirmed]]. She claims to have become a superhero so that she could create the ideal world where the nerve amplifier she invented would be used as medicine, not as a weapon. She's entrusting Heather with the blueprints, implicitly to carry on that dream after she's gone. This won't happen; Heather or somebody will find a way to cure or at least arrest the progress of Marilyn's ALS. ''Spinnerette''is firmly on the Idealistic side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism, and it just won't stay that way if key characters are KilledOffForReal. (See other WMG for further commentary on this point.)

Maid's reaction to spinerette's [[ClothingDamage costume damage]] [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/10/06/10062010/ speaks for itself]].

[[WMG: Mecha Maid's alter-ego is the young lady in the power chair, seen [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/10/13/10132010/ here]].]]

* Jossed as of the [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/12/06/12062010/ December 6, 2010]] comic. If the tape gets watched, she's got bigger problems, since her boss works for the most dangerous supervillain in Columbus, OH. The question is whether those security cameras in with the recombiner are part of the school security system, or a more personal one for the not so good doctor. If the latter, she could still be in danger.

* [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/12/24/12242010/ Confirmed.]]

* Heather may be [[MediumAwareness aware of her medium]], but she's still hopelessly WrongGenreSavvy at times. Thus far, Heather and Marilyn have had more scenes together, built more chemistry together, and most importantly, have a [[LesYay lot more subtext]]. From Heather being the latter's [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/06/14/06142010/ damsel in distress]], to [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/10/06/10062010/ Mecha Maid's reaction]] to her ClothingDamage, the [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/11/10/11102010/ hand]]-[[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/11/12/11122010/ holding]], and all the [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/12/27/12272010/ pictures of them together]] the case is clear, but most damning of all, when Darien cooked up a plan to hook himself up with Heather by inviting her to a movie, she inadvertently ruined it when she instead spent the night chatting with Marilyn, sort of "choosing" her over him, however unintentionally.

** All but confirmed by Buzz's jacket on [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/02/02/02022011/ this]] page. The [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMOA]] page strikes again!

Yes, that's a whole shit-ton of data to go through, but he's a MadScientist SuperVillain. He can figure something out. [[note]] It's all in the receipts. Any business would be stupid to not keep records of every item it sells. Yes, it's ''possible'' that Spinnerette doesn't use a credit card, but it's unlikely.\\\

What other reason for [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/09/29/09292010/ this page]] if that Ben isn't [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/01/19/01192011/ Ben Franklin]]

[[WMG:Sahira's [[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/03/02/03022011/#top-content new arms]] don't have anything to do with Heather's spider powers at all.]]

[[WMG: The Glass loose in Columbus is Mecha Maid’s half-brother]]
The guy looks just [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/comic/08-21-2013 too young]] to be the Colonel Glass from 1985. With the SuperBreedingProgram, Colonel Glass just tried it twice, with Marilyn and [[GenerationXerox Glass Jr]]. Maybe he noted early that Marilyn wasn’t going to be crazy enough for his taste. Or he is just a misogynist on top of all the other craziness and wanted a son.

* [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/2012/06/22/06222012/ Confirmed.]] Marilyn and Heather are dating.

** Jossed. Dr.Universe has known for a long time who she is. [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/2012/08/27/08272012/ She's Spinnerette. That's all that matters.]]

* Buzz Rickards may or may not be a troper, but [[spoiler: [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/index.php?id=521 Colonel Glass]]]] sure is confirmed to be. He even [[spoiler: [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the fact that he [[ExploitedTrope exploits]] the FacelessGoons trope by saying to his enemy that he "should read the Wiki/TVTropes entry for FacelessGoons".]]

Back when he was first describing werewolves, London described lycanthropy as being similar to ''Film/GingerSnaps''. While that movie doesn't actually require sex to be infected, it does have a ''lot'' of linking metaphors between sex and puberty and being a werewolf. In [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/2012/01/13/01132012/ this page]], London says he was "bitten", yet in the ''page previous to this one'' states flat-out that biting his two fangirls wouldn't turn them into werewolves. Now bringing the ''Film/GingerSnaps'' reference back into play, the way that London pauses before saying he was bitten--as well as the fact that the werewolf shown attacking him in his description is pretty obviously a female--leads one to believe that lycanthropy is spread via intercourse, not only biting. London probably had intercourse with that female wolf (possibly against his will from the frightened/defiant look on Teenage!London's face, who knows) and that's why simply biting those two girls wouldn't make them werewolves, and why London certainly doesn't even want to consider the possibility.

In [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/index.php?id=650 this comic]] she's about to apply to an "antiproton collider" project. We're all GenreSavvy enough to know that messing with anti-matter in a superhero setting can't end well. Seeing how [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/index.php?id=649 the cover]] shows both Spinny a redheaded girl with six arms and a very similar costume, said collider will probably open access to an AlternateUniverse from which will come the redheaded Spinnerette.
* [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/index.php?id=654 Yep.]]

* Have Evil Spinnerette go all Doctor Doom on us.

* Buck becomes an anti-hero who uses guns to fight the villains, like The Punisher.

* Buzz Rickards may or may not be a troper, but [[spoiler: [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/index.php?id=521 Colonel Glass]]]] sure is confirmed to be. He even [[spoiler: [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the fact that he [[ExploitedTrope exploits]] the FacelessGoons trope by saying to his enemy that he "should read the TVTropes entry for FacelessGoons".]]

[[WMG: The author reads TvTropes]]

[[WMG:TVTropes exists in the Spinnerette universe, and Buzz Rickards is a troper.]]

[[WMG: Cherenkov-Kirby Generator is actually SoylentGreen that PoweredByAForsakenChild]]

* Arrayed against this arguement is that the comic has a largely {{Animesque}} art style, how good guy Marilyn is also an anime fan and modeled her superhero alter-ego after ''{{Mahoromatic}}'', how that Heather has ''never'' been rational in this series, and is generally more...[[IdiotHero stupid]], and bases her own arguments on {{Pokemon}} and Manga/{{Naruto}}, which is in turn a common anti-anime argument to the point that anime fans consider ''them'' strawman analogies. More likely, it was just an ironic running gag for the chapter, especially considering the next chapter was more manga stylized than any of the earlier ones.

[[http://www.krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2010/02/23/02232010/ Take a close look here]]. The only reason the whole thing happened is because her arms somehow ''vanished'' for one panel, and popped back again in the next. ''Someone'' instigated her "accident" on purpose.

* [[http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/12/26/12262011/ Somewhat confirmed]].

(See other WMG for further commentary on this point.)

* It would require an advanced and very human AI. More likely is that Mecha Maid is like [[GhostInTheShell the Major]] (they share the same hair and eye color, and have a similar hair style) a [[{{Cyborg}} full-body cyborg]]. ''That'' implies that Marilyn has found a way (which we haven't yet witnessed) to transfer her consciousness into the cyborg Mecha Maid. If so, this may mean TearJerker handwringing over her impending death might be a bit premature. (It would also explain her noncommittal reply - when she makes her [[WhamEpisode revelation of her fatal disease to Heather]] - when Heather implores her not to die; Marilyn knows that she will in fact survive in some form, but for whatever reason is not yet ready to reveal that to Heather.)

[[WMG: Delta has a [[JoJosBizarreAdventure Stand]]]]

They merely think that [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority 'Black Tiger']] [[RuleOfCool is just a cooler superhero name.]]
* Alternately, it slipped up that way a few times and ended up sticking; about half the people he corrects literally say along the lines of "Wait, I heard it really was 'Black Tiger', sorry!"
* Another theory is that he reminded everyone of ComicBook/BlackPanther but since he has more of a tiger theme with his costume and powers, and because Marvel is known to sue superheroes for copyright infringement, everyone just took to calling him Black Tiger.
* Perhaps the old man who gave Tiger his powers actually used "Black Tiger" as his superhero name, and everyone just assumes the new Tiger is using the same name (or thinks they are the same person).

* Jossed. She has been shown being taken out of her costume. That being said, the strength is due to nerve amplifiers, and not power armor. That would severely reduce the necessary size, since it won't need powerful motors. Far more likely is that Mecha Maid might figure out a way to do this, but hasn't succeeded in doing so, yet.

* Evil Spinnerette reveals she needs Heather's blood for the ritual, presumably because she's a mix of spider and human DNA right now. Note that not only did the chamber infuse spider DNA, (despite the doctor mentioning the experiments with this thing were meant to involve scorpions), the thing blew up afterwards for no apparent reason. Who's willing to bet Evil Spinnerette put this in motion to make a perfect sacrifice, then destroyed the chamber to prevent anyone trying to make a properly trained superhero with it?
** So Dr. Lambha was correct! It ''was'' a supervillain!
** not only is it very unlikely for a 16 year old to pull that off, a blood sacrifice has nothing to do with genetics. It's more likely she needed Heather's blood because she thought a spider person would be more appropriate.
* ...that wasn't her arms disappearing. She lost her balance, and that third panel is a stylistic way of showing that she's flailing wildly in an attempt to grab onto something. Similar to how [[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic's]] legs don't ''actually'' turn into a pair of treads, he's just moving his feet really fast.
* Whats still not explained is why the [[MadeOfExplodium machine blew up]].
* It most likely exploded because it couldn't handle the amount of energy needed to splice the DNA. You have to remember that the thing is calibrated to spiders, which have considerably less mass, and therefore fewer cells to alter for genetic experimentation.

* [[http://krakowstudios.com/spinnerette/2011/12/26/12262011/ Somewhat confirmed]]. She claims to have become a superhero so that she could create the ideal world where the nerve amplifier she invented would be used as medicine, not as a weapon. She's entrusting Heather with the blueprints, implicitly to carry on that dream after she's gone.
* But if the comment in the previous WMG is right, that won't happen; Heather or somebody will find a way to cure or at least arrest the progress of Marilyn's ALS. ''{{Spinnerette}}''is firmly on the Idealistic side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism, and it just won't stay that way if key characters are KilledOffForReal. (See below for further commentary on this point.)



[[WMG: Heather will fail at keeping her identity from the lab security...]].
...and will end up getting an official lab sponsorship, with the lab providing a better costume and PR and such in exchange for the rights to licensing and merchandising profits. Heather gets the aid that keeps Marvel lawyers off her back, and the lab gets a source of research income.

[[WMG: Heather got it all wrong. Darien isn't her love interest...Marilyn Seong/Mecha Maid is!]]

* [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/2012/06/22/06222012/ Confirmed.]] Marilyn and Heather are currently dating.

[[WMG: The Werewolf of London Ontario's secret identity is...]]

[[WMG: The woman in Tiger's photo isn't dead...]]

In one of the more recent pages, Katt interupted the two sharing an intimate moment and Spinny paniced and scooted away, and in the next panel Mecha Maid can be seen tearing up although she doesn't say anything. With Alberta's [[HatePlague rage toxins]] in the base, she'll end up confronting Spinnerette about it.
* Confirmed. And they made up afterwards.

[[WMG: The Glass currently loose in Columbus is Mecha Maid’s half-brother]]

* Latest page has Evil Spinnerette revealing she needs Heather's blood for the ritual, presumably because she's a mix of spider and human DNA right now. Note that not only did the chamber infuse spider DNA, (despite the doctor mentioning the experiments with this thing were meant to involve scorpions), the thing blew up afterwards for no apparent reason. Who's willing to bet Evil Spinnerette put this in motion to make a perfect sacrifice, then destroyed the chamber to prevent anyone trying to make a properly trained superhero with it?

** The gay part is confirmed in the latest cliffhanger ending. MM outright said she loves Spinny.

In [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/index.php?id=650 the latest comic]] she's about to apply to an "antiproton collider" project. We're all GenreSavvy enough to know that messing with anti-matter in a superhero setting can't end well.
