Shadow Connection:

Dark Web possesses the power of shadows. He does this by tapping into the dark energy of mankind's evil nature. He can turn into a living, three-dimensional shadow by merging with his own shadow, turning it completely black. If he wished he could merge whatever he is wearing with his shadow as well. He can turn any part or all of his body two-dimensional.

Camouflage: Dark Web can use his shadow properties to alter the coloration of his skin and clothes in order to match his surroundings, thereby allowing him to blend with objects around him.

Darkside View: Dark Web has limited telepathic abilities and by coming in contact with a victim's shadow he could cause them emotional agony by subjecting them to their innermost fears. It does not work against beings of "pure evil" like those Dark Guardian or Mãlik normally deal with.

Intangibility: He is able to become untouchable. It differs from phasing by it's fundamental process; those who are intangible cannot be touched physically whereas those that phase have the ability to go through solid objects.

Shadow Possession: Shadow possession allows Dark Web to possess inanimate objects, in this case shadows, in order to use them for himself.

Shadow Constructs: Dark Web can project strands of shadow from his hands/wrists, like a spider shooting webbing. The strands can attach to anything or can be used to form constructs, like webs, cocoons, or they can be used to hook/grab hold of something or someone and pull them in closer to Dark Web.

Spider Physiology:

Dark Web gained the proportionate abilities of a spider after being bitten by a spider while he was in shadow form. To this day no one knows how that particular spider managed to do that. But his abilities now include:

Regenerative Healing Factor: Dark Web is able to regenerate his injuries at a much faster rate than normal humans can. This was first displayed when the original spider-bite that gave him powers turned from "huge and gross looking" to a dot within ten minutes.

Sixth-Sense: When danger is present, Dark Web feels a buzzing sensation in his head as a sort of early warning system, allowing him to react accordingly. His sixth-sense offers him near complete awareness of his surroundings, and in conjunction with his reflexes, allows him to instinctively dodge or counter nearly all attacks.

Agility: Enhanced: Dark Web's agility, balance, flexibility and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of an Olympic-level gymnast.

Durability: Limited Regeneration: While in shadow form, only intense light or cosmic level energy can affect him. Even antimatter does not affect him. But outside of his shadow form, Dark Web is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than a normal human. He can withstand great impacts like being thrown through a plate-glass window or having wooden chairs break across his back, with little to no discomfort.

Superhuman Equilibrium: Dark Web possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He seems able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to balance himself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.

Reflexes: Enhanced: Dark Web's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about 20x greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with his sixth-sense, the speed of his reflexes allows him to dodge almost any attack.

Land Speed: Subsonic: Dark Web is faster than an Olympic-level athlete and can move at roughly 20x faster than a normal human, giving him the potential of moving at close to 500 mph. Using shadows can increase his speed to almost instantaneous travel from one point to another.

Stamina: Alt-Enhanced: Dark Web's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows him to exert himself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair him. At his peak, Dark Web can physically exert himself for several hours before the build-up of fatigue toxins in his blood begin to impair him. While in shadow form, Dark Web never tires, which may be why he is almost always seen in whole or partial shadow form.

Strength: Superhuman: Level 25: Dark Web possesses strength enough to lift up to 10 tons. His physical strength also extends to his legs, enabling him to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound. He usually pulls his punches and kicks or the impact would prove fatal to a normal human.

Wall-Crawling: For those times when there are no shadows to use for traveling or moving, Dark Web can cling to any surface using just his fingertips and feet. The extent to how much pressure he can stick to walls is unknown.

Bio-Electrokinesis: Dark Web possesses control over the natural electricity his body produces. He is capable of utilizing it for offensive purposes. This ability seems to stem from his shadow powers absorbing light. The energy he produces combine with the energy his shadows absorb, producing a sizeable amount of bio-energy.

_____Spider Bite: Dark Web can send a bio-electric shock to his enemies or destroy technology by releasing a small spark of electricity from his hands. After the initial spark, moments later the enemy will be electrocuted. It seems that there are varying degrees to this ability, as some opponents have been simply dazed where others have been completely incapacitated. It also seems more effective on people with genetic alterations, such as REDACTED and Éadóchas. This power provides a great advantage as Dark Web can end a confrontation quickly with little collateral damage. It can break chains being used to restrain Dark Web, and even repel non-ferrous objects, such as plastic Lego bricks.
