Biography
The Hybrid
On another Earth in a universe similar but not identical to our own, the Norman Osborn that would become the Green Goblin cloned May Parker, the daughter of Peter and Mary Jane Parker, and dumped one of the pair into a stasis chamber, intending on doing experiments as part of his bid to become an immortal Goblin creature. And experiment he did, splicing the clone’s DNA with a bit of symbiote DNA until she was a functional model with the strengths and weaknesses of both. After his death, Goblin cultists found her, altering her DNA and implanting memories until she was an identical clone of May Parker with a functional set of memories.
A few years later, Harry’s son, Normie, found the stasis chamber in a secret lab of OsCorp Chemical. He got in touch with Peter Parker, inviting him to the labs, and showed the unimpressed man to the stasis chamber while explaining that his grandfather’s notes had claimed the specimen in the chamber to be the original May Parker. An attempt at analyzing the stasis fluid had it exploding in their faces, and as they scrambled to decontaminate the chamber was left slightly ajar, black tendrils slowly oozing out until April was crouching in the shadows, symbiote instincts helping her navigate the shadows of OsCorp until she was in Norman’s lab, rifling through his papers to find his notes about her. She was overtaken by Peter Parker, and after a brief struggle they were sitting and talking about where April would go. A talk with the Parker family and some paperwork, and she was figuring out her place in the Parker household. She decided to call herself April, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the possibility that she was the original.
Joining the Parkers
Homeschool records were created, and April tested into senior year, joining her “cousin” May. The year was fairly uneventful--April took to doing her set of household chores while using her powers, and when May found out she joined in. The two could often be found stuck to the ceiling while they cleaned, laughing and turning the dull work into tiny competitions. April took a few years off after graduation to figure out what she wanted to do, learning how to maintain the Vespa she’d purchased with a combination of graduation and work money. She eventually realized she loved doing things with her hands, and looked into careers that would let her do that. She finally settled on the pre-engineering program at Queens College, and once she finished it transferred to Columbia for their mechanical engineering program. She and May teamed up on a few occasions, most notably pushing back the Hobgoblin and Black Tarantula.

Other Features: May’s body is malleable due to her spliced symbiote DNA. She can change her basic form by elongating her torso and limbs slightly, create simple blunt weapons and tools with her hands (such as mallets, hammers, or bats), and sometimes manifest tendrils along her body that are mostly directed by her subconscious. She’s also able to change her appearance and contort her body in ways that are physically impossible for standard humans (such as fitting into impossibly small places), but needs more practice to get these abilities consistent and able to pull on command. When her symbiote “skin” comes to the front, she turns blue with black swirls, large white eyes, a giant mouth of sharp teeth, and sharp claws, with tendrils mixed into her hair. With training, she'll be able to pull Mayhem (the symbiote form) forward consciously, create clothing, and change her appearance at all.
