The Encyclopedia of the hero: Black Spider

Hello people from steemit and the world, I come again with the section on super heroes, villains, vigilantes, antiheroes and others, now I come with a not-so-known vigilante, perfect to speak in this encyclopedia, I speak of Black Spider, a little vigilante of DC that I consider, it is worth talking about him and not only for his kinship to Marvel, Spiderman, but I'll stop talking about frivolities and let's start.

Eric Needham, a heroin addict seeks money to continue in his fabulous sensations, without knowing where to go, is in front of a liquor store, does not know where he is, does not know who he is, but what matters is that there is money To stay high for longer. Enter the store, the owner defends himself from the criminal, but it is not enough, Eric grabs the gun and murders him, the police arrive by the alarm sounded by the owner, when intercepting the criminal and investigating him, they say he has just murder his father, his addiction led to the end of his only family.

His decisions have taken him to a path he never intended to cross, he leaves drugs and for remorse and wants to redeem himself, starts a war with drug traffickers, killing them one by one, large groups to small vendors of the block, begins his mission as Black Spider, but there is a person who does not agree with his method of justice, Batman fights him and sends him to prison. The person who financed the watchdog mission was just another drug dealer who wanted to eliminate the competition, leaving Eric to do it indirectly. Black Spider had a certain hatred of the dark knight, for locking him up and not being part of his play to end drug traffickers, thus becoming a recurring villain.

In his little war to eliminate evil, his identity is revealed to a boss, who is looking for his wife and son to kill them, to let him know that this suit will not save his family, Black Spider goes into anger, looking for the leader of the gang of criminals, killing one by one and when he was already too injured to follow and in front of the great leader, he activated the bombs he hid in the back, killing everyone and momentarily ridding the city of drugs...

The mantle of Black Spider has passed to others over the years, other vigilantes and a villain, but no one has come to surpass Eric Needham as Black Spider...

Black Spider is not very special, he is just an ordinary person with advanced technology, thanks to special training he can move with agility as he does with his cobwebs, he has a nice behavior like Spiderman, but he uses firearms.

Black Spider caught my attention when I saw him in the third season of Young Justice, he had a certain relationship with Spiderman so I had to find out who he was and why he had not seen him in other places, it give little importance or relevance to being a character similar to Marvel's friendly neighbor, and I understand that this is the case, Marvel has "Copied" some characters and maybe DC doesn't want to give it much relevance so as not to be Marvel style.

But putting that aside, he is a character with little history, where other people have taken his name for his own exploits, he does not have a defined villain or hero, I feel I should have given him a position here to be remembered, to be seen, that Black Spider is a character at heart who wanted to do good, he did not do well already dead... Only now remains in us whether to remember it or not.

I hope you liked this new installment of The Encyclopedia of the Hero / Villain, if you want to see more of this content, let me know and if you have any character that you want to be seen you can tell me, here I have talked about few characters don't known as Sentry and Penitence and known as Spawn and The Penguin, there is always something to talk about, not everything has been said or seen, see you later.
