"I have taken Nature and forced it to adapt beyond it's wildest dreams. I have taken Humanity, and pushed it to it's greatest potential. I have taken the human mold, and MASTERED it. I have fused Science, Nature and Magic into a single process. Those in the field of pure Science would call what I did playing God. But I say I'm not playing God, I wouldn't wish to. To play God would be taking a step backwards. God made humanity, he made it flawed, he made each and everyone one of us errored in some way. But I? I have created what God never could, I've created the single most evolved human in history. It will be glorious, and serve my will, live and die in my name. I have given Perfection it's own life, and that life...belongs...to Me." - Lord Recluse

Personality
As with most Rogue Island natives, Dameon is fairly aggressive in all aspects of his life. While this aggression may express itself through snide remarks, sarcastic quips, or physical violence is dependent on the situation. Despite this, Dameon does have a less aggressive side. Although he can be very laid back, he does prefer to take action before thought and make war before a strategy. Known to go from one extreme to the other, there are very few occasions where he's at a comfortable 'middle point'.
He is protective of those he is in battle with, often willing to put supporting them above his own well being as he feels that others may need a helping hand where he himself is more independent. He often has a hard time taking orders and tries to assume a military style role as leader, while at the same time adding jokes and one liners.
Powers
Origin
His powers were created naturally through his own evolution, but his evolution itself was anything but natural. Combining Science, Magic and Natural Abilities, Lord Recluse created an amalgamation of different power sources.
The natural through Lord Recluse, during a competition between the highest ranked Widows and Wolf Spiders to see who had the best suited abilities to become the freshest set of Arbiters. At the end of the competition, Recluse chose the final Widow and Wolf Spider, and orchestrated a co-mingling of their DNA. The pairing was due to obedience and respect more then love and intimacy, but it did bring about the birth of an impressive offspring. One who had excellent DNA at it's core, and it would only become better when Arachnos was done with it's improvements.
The science, through a complex fusion of virtual reality and direct muscle and neural stimulation, he would place a child into the harshest of environments, forcing him to fight and survive, but be inevitably killed off by the deadliest predators of this, and other known, planet(s).
When the child died from his virtual death, which was every bit as taxing and painful as reality, that's when the magic kicked in. Ghost Widow, using her mastery of the soul, would remove the child's soul, and allow Recluse the freedom to rebuild the body and revert it back to the beginning of it's life cycle once more without destroying it. Every time Ghost Widow removed the soul, a piece would be cut free and left behind, then be tossed away by Recluse's procedure. But, thanks to being granted a new life, and living through it again, that part grew anew.
The entire procedure focused on both virtual reality, as well as Chronotons. Atoms most often used for the likes of time travel. It allowed for the child to experience an entire cycle of life in a single week. This cycle continued over and over again until the evolution peaked to such a point that it, combined with the continuously increasing memories forced the body to activate all portions of the brain. Not only did it make the memories possible to store without neurological damage, but it activated various portions of the human body that no normal human in the current point of evolution had access to.
Primary Set
Fire Blast - Has the ability to manipulate the natural heat of the human body and release it in the form of concussive blasts and incendiary heat. The flames can reach temperatures of up to 7500 Kelvin. While the fire has the ability to wound enemies, it's set to War-Spider's natural body chemistry, and does not wound him, but this also does not protect him from opposing flames.
Secondary Set
Radiation Emission - The evolution has allowed for a type of subatomic manipulation of the energy in War-Spider's body, allowing for production of electromagnetic and particle radiation. This ability is natural, and can even be passed on to allies with, the majority of the time, no harmful after effects.
Additional Powers
Mild Regeneration - The armor allows for regeneration of the cells, combined with his already enhanced recovery abilities. This both prevents wounds from becoming fatal, as well as regresses the aging process.
Super Human Strength - Although not on par with the likes of power houses like Statesman or Black Scorpion, War-Spider's physical prowess is far beyond that of the average human, and can most often go blow to blow with more powerful foes by combining his strength and durability with manipulation of his personal energies.
Travel
Flight - By omni-projecting his natural bio energy, he can maintain constant flight, and achieve high speeds that have yet to be officially clocked.

Abilities
Ability to manipulate the energy and heat the body produces so that it can be released in concussive blasts in various ways, as well as transferring his energy to his allies and 'lending' them some of his power.
His energy manipulation could be expressed in a variety of ways. Such as creating an omni directional energy wave to allow him to fly, hyper accelerating his atoms to allow bursts of speed and agility and increasing his density to improve defense.
Weaknesses and Limitations
Durability - Although he has the ability to regenerate from most wounds very quickly, this can only be done before so long before the drain on his stamina catches up to him and he needs to replenish his own personal energies again.
Equipment
Armor: His armor is both symbiotic and independent of himself. Based on the rough exoskeleton of an arachnoid, the armor gives him a mild amount of regeneration to his health and endurance. While it's not quite as adept as that of a mutant who has a healing factor, it does give him augmented stamina beyond that of his already well heightened abilities. It can change itself to suit his needs, but at the same time, it has it's own ability to sense danger and will come to form the armor if it feels itself and it's host are threatened.
That said, trying to take it off of him unwillingly would be equal to trying to peel off a normal person's skin.

With such an expensive assortment of ingredients, and the amount of time and effort it took to create the armor, it is unlikely another will be seen for a very long time.
Character History
Military training, mutation, magic, machinery, all of which had yet to bring him the choke hold on Paragon City he desired. His Science was flawless, his devices perfection, his manipulation of DNA was artwork. There was only one flaw. Human error.
Recluse realized he had once choice. To make a better human, and give Evolution a shot of adrenaline.
