Origin
Brian was a fan of superheros. One day his mother was mugged and the person was never caught. Brian hoped that a superhero would find the scum who mugged his mother. He wrote many letters to all these heroes but none answered. He was later visited by the Dwarf who gave him a page of the Darkhold. This would give him the power of his favorite hero Spider-Man. But it turned him into a spider-like monster who wore Spider-Man’s costume and dubbed himself Spider-X. This would make other heros think that Spider-X was the actual Spider-Man.
