I have taken the "Impact!" incarnation of the character and tweaked the design a bit to give the character little edge. I know that the character has a real “Spider-Man” look about him and I hope that it doesn’t offend the hardcore fans of the original, but I think that it’s ok to let the student influence the teacher a little bit in this case. (It was mentioned on this site that the FLY might have influenced the creation of Spider-Man)

The Knobs on his hands are a tribute to the “Buzz Gun” that the FLY carried in the Original incarnation, he can simply aim and shoot without having to draw a weapon from the holster. I think that this is something that was not included in the “Impact” line of comics.

Also I have added a little footwear to his look that I hope helps to identify how the character might adhere to surfaces. This is a feature that I want to include on the, underside, of the hands as well.

The goggles, though more shallow, still extend to the side of his head, allowing full peripheral or omni directional vision while making him look less gawky.
