Anyway I love @ibbywondrous ‘s Speeder Parker AU so uh. Time to bugify my favorite Spider-Man antagonist.

I was really stuck on what sort of bug to make Will o’ the Wisp because with the glowing a fire fly seems obvious, but Electro already has that covered. Then I thought about going with more of the ghost/fairy angle and remembered my beloved woolly aphids.

Power wise I’m not sure whether to keep his whole “control his own molecules and is therefore entirely out of Spider-Man’s weight class” angle or focus on the fact woolly aphids spread a number of fungi, most notably blackening leaves with sooty mold, and have his bizarre appearance be due to him being something of a hazard to breathe next to. Being covered in mind controlling fungi would be as good an explanation as any for how he can already do that in the comics.

My entry for @catmask 's and @frogcroaks ' contest, Monster Mayhem!

I chose the theme Wisteria Will-O-Wisp for flower symbolism and will-o'-the-wisp folklore. Also because of the color purple ← My favourite color 💜

Thank you for hosting this contest where I can try out monster designing and good luck to the other participants. Peace and love on planet Earth!
