approximately one month later, after a long period of transformation
Adam gradually began to awaken from his deep slumber. He felt incredibly weak and frail, as if he hadn't consumed any food in several weeks. He slowly and carefully stood up, his movements deliberate and cautious, and as he did so, he realized that something was fundamentally wrong with his body.
He reached up and touched his face, running his fingers over his eyes, and realized with growing alarm that he only had two eyes instead of the multiple compound eyes he had possessed before his transformation. And when he looked at his body, he discovered that his spider legs had completely disappeared.
As he stood up to his full height, stretching his limbs and testing his balance, he realized that he had grown significantly taller than he had been before. But he didn't have time to think about that transformation at this particular moment. What dominated his thoughts was an overwhelming sensation of hunger—an extremely intense and all-consuming hunger that seemed to emanate from the very core of his being.
He walked out of the cave where he had been sleeping, and immediately covered his eyes with his hands as the brilliant sun blared down upon him with blinding intensity. His eyes quickly adjusted to the bright light as he looked around at his surroundings, taking in the forest landscape that stretched before him.
He then began to run through the forest, and instinctively, almost without conscious thought, his spider legs emerged and sprouted from his back and pierced into the bark of the trees, propelling him forward with tremendous force and speed.
Hopping and leaping from tree to tree with incredible agility, he began actively looking and searching for an animal to eat and satisfy his ravenous hunger. He then heard the distinct sound of a branch breaking somewhere nearby and immediately turned his attention toward the source of the noise, the perpetrator of the sound.
He locked onto the target with laser focus and realized after a moment of observation that it was a deer grazing peacefully in a small clearing. He silently and stealthily began to move through the trees, carefully positioning himself until he was positioned right above the unsuspecting animal.
Then, without warning, he dropped down from his perch. His sharp, pointed spider legs came down swiftly like the wind itself and plunged deep into the body of the deer with brutal efficiency. The animal screamed out in terrible pain, desperately trying to escape from his grasp, but it was no use whatsoever.
Slowly and inevitably it began to bleed out from its wounds, but Adam had already begun to eat voraciously, tearing into the flesh. He didn't care at all if the meat wasn't cooked or prepared in any way. He understood instinctively that the more he consumed and ate, the more powerful and stronger he would become.
There was poison coating his spider legs from glands in his body, but he was completely immune to its effects so he continued to eat without hesitation or concern. By the time he had finished eating most of the deer, he suddenly noticed that a pack of wolves had quietly surrounded him in a circle, watching him with cautious eyes.
He slowly stood up from his crouched position over the carcass and looked directly at the wolves surrounding him. He felt extremely calm and composed, his heart rate steady. Compared to his own abilities and strength, he assessed that the wolves were nothing, posed no real threat—he knew this for an absolute fact.
They growled menacingly and walked in circles around him, carefully studying him and trying to find a weakness or vulnerability they could exploit. Suddenly, without warning, a wolf that seemed to be the alpha leader of the pack ran forward and charged directly at Adam with aggressive intent.
Adam quickly turned to face the charging wolf and grabbed it firmly by the neck with one powerful hand. The wolf struggled violently against his strong iron grip and desperately tried to escape from his hold, twisting and writhing.
Adam used his other free arm to grab hold of the wolf's lower maw, then strategically let go of his grip on its neck and grabbed its upper maw as well, now controlling the animal's entire head.
The other wolves in the pack all charged forward simultaneously and began to bite and claw frantically at Adam's body, but it was completely no use. The only reason why the people and scientists in the research facilities had been able to pierce through his skin was because they had access to special reinforced metal instruments and weapons.
The wolves, on the other hand, with just their natural teeth and claws, weren't nearly strong enough or sharp enough to damage him or penetrate his tough skin. Adam then, with a burst of raw strength, ripped the alpha wolf in half starting from its maw, tearing the creature apart.
The remaining wolves now froze in place, their aggressive posture vanishing, and slowly took multiple cautious steps backward, away from this terrifying creature. Adam sniffed at the fresh wolf flesh experimentally before taking a tentative bite. He chewed slowly for a moment, processing the taste, before swallowing. A cruel and predatory smile then formed gradually on his face as he looked menacingly at the rest of the terrified wolves.
He licked his lips in anticipation and then charges forward at them with explosive speed. The wolves began to whimper pathetically and tried desperately to run away and escape, but they were far too slow compared to his enhanced abilities. Adam moved at incredible speeds that defied normal biology and caught them one by one, systematically ripping them apart with brutal efficiency.
After killing all of them and ending the threat, he began eating again, consuming the wolf bodies. His enhanced body was digesting the meat and absorbing the nutrients at an incredible speed, far faster than any normal human.
After he had finished eating everything edible, only scattered bones were left behind on the forest floor. Being satisfied with his meal and feeling his strength returning, he began to stretch his body, working out the stiffness from his long slumber.
It had been many long years since he had eaten his fill and felt truly satisfied. Though the food quality wasn't particularly good or appetizing, that didn't matter to him in the slightest.
What truly mattered and was most important was the simple fact that he was alive and free. He then walked away from the scene of carnage in search of a river or water source. It was a very good thing that his parents had taught him valuable survival skills during his childhood, or he would be completely stuck and uncertain on what to do in this wilderness situation.
Hearing the sound of a stream of flowing water from somewhere close by, he immediately ran toward the place, following the sound. Eventually after a brief search he arrived at the water source and knelt down near the edge of the stream and began to drink the cool, clear water in large gulps.
After being satisfied and quenching his thirst, he stood back up and took off his bloodied and tattered clothes before entering the flowing water. He rubbed his body thoroughly and methodically, making absolutely sure to wipe off all the accumulated dirt, grime and blood from his skin and body.
After he was done cleaning himself, he paused for a moment, looking at his reflection in the calm surface of the water. It had been such a long time, years in fact, since he had seen his own appearance and face.
He observed that he had long black hair that fell past his shoulders, and his once distinctive red eyes were now completely black in color. Feeling and deciding that his hair was far too long for practicality, he cut it using his sharp nails and made it a little shorter and more manageable.
He then took his bloodied clothes from the shore and washed them in the stream, scrubbing them as best he could. He knew realistically that he couldn't get all the blood stains out completely, but he absolutely needed them since he didn't have any spare clothing or replacements.
After he was finished washing them as thoroughly as possible, he left the water, walking back onto the shore, and squeezed all the excess water from the wet clothes, wringing them out.
He then put them back on his body despite their dampness. Though the clothing was still wet and uncomfortable against his skin, it didn't matter to him or bother him. He walked away from the stream, heading in the direction of civilization.
With his new transformed appearance and physical changes, he calculated that he just needed a change of clothes and some basic supplies and he would be able to blend in with normal human society. He began to run away at a steady pace from the place and location he had came from, leaving his past behind.
Meanwhile, in the SHIELD headquarters, Director Fury looked down at a classified file folder on his desk.
"What were those idiots thinking!!!?" Nick Fury roared angrily, his voice echoing through the office as he slammed his fist down hard on the table in frustration.
An agent standing nearby took the paper document from the table, picking it up and reading it carefully. He frowned deeply as he processed the information.
"These guys might have created a monster of unprecedented proportions," Agent Coulson said grimly, putting the paper back down on the table with concern.
Fury had repeatedly warned the government officials and decision-makers about the extreme dangers of mutant experiments. He knew from experience and intelligence reports the massive damage that mutants could cause and the catastrophic consequences, and making them enemies of the state was a terrible idea with far-reaching implications.
Especially this particular one, this subject who had just escaped from the secure facility he had been imprisoned in for years, killing all the personnel and guards except for one lone survivor.

"Shit, these fucking bastards," he roared again with intense anger and frustration coursing through his voice.
A few days later, on a dark night in the bustling city of New York. Adam had finally arrived in New York City and had managed to acquire a new pair of clothes that fit him reasonably well. He had stolen them from some street thugs who had foolishly tried to rob him, not knowing who they were dealing with.
Now the world had three less people to worry about, three criminals who would never harm anyone again. As he walked through the crowded streets of the city, observing the tall buildings and busy sidewalks around him, he couldn't help but sigh deeply to himself.
He had never been in a major city for more than a few days at a time in his entire life, so this whole urban experience was completely new and unfamiliar to him. Though he knew that he was still being actively chased and hunted by authorities, no one would be able to find or identify him easily with his new transformed appearance and physical changes.
Suddenly and without warning, his entire body froze completely in place mid-stride. A sweet and intoxicating scent entered his nostrils and filled his senses. An overwhelming and powerful urge enveloped him completely, something he had never experienced or felt before in his entire life. His body began to heat up quickly and intensely, as if a fire had been lit within him.
He began to follow the alluring scent instinctively, tracking it carefully, and eventually he could smell that it was coming from somewhere on the rooftops high above the street level. He then walked into a nearby dark alley between buildings and used his spider abilities to climb up the vertical walls onto the roof with ease.
Peeking his head out carefully over the edge of the rooftop, he noticed someone standing there in the distance. It was a person dressed in a distinctive suit with a prominent spider symbol emblazoned on the chest area. From the silhouette and figure he could make out quite clearly that it was a girl, a young woman.
As if drawn by some invisible and irresistible force beyond his control, he began to walk closer and closer to her position. His body began to move completely uncontrollably, as if it had a mind of its own. He didn't know why this was happening or what was compelling him, but as of right now in this moment his body absolutely wouldn't listen to his conscious commands or respond to his will.
Eventually, after walking across the rooftop quietly, he reached a position right behind her without making a sound.
"Hey," he said simply, his voice breaking the silence of the night.
Immediately and reflexively, the girl in the costume spun around rapidly and swung her arm defensively in complete surprise at the unexpected presence. She then jumped back several feet in surprise and alarm, putting distance between them.
Someone had somehow managed to sneak up on her completely undetected, and most alarmingly her usually reliable spider senses hadn't activated or warned her at all. Adam blinked a few times in succession and rubbed his face where she had struck him. That attack had been surprisingly strong and powerful, more than he had expected.
But as if possessed by some external force or compulsion, he continued moving steadily towards her, unable to stop himself. Unknown to her and without her awareness or knowledge, she was releasing a powerful and alluring scent that drew Adam in irresistibly like a moth to a flame.
But then suddenly and unexpectedly, he froze completely in his tracks. He grit his teeth together hard, his eyes practically bloodshot and strained with effort. He absolutely refused to be controlled by whatever mysterious force was happening to him and taking over his body.
But the more intensely he tried to control himself and resist the compulsion, the harder and more difficult it got to maintain that control. His eyes slowly began to glow an eerie and unnatural red color. Six long, sharp spider legs sprouted dramatically from his back, emerging from his flesh.
His breaths came out ragged and labored, struggling for air. Her eyes widened dramatically in shock and fear as she saw his physical appearance and form began to change and transform before her very eyes.
"What are you doing to me?" He growled out forcefully in resistance, fighting against the overwhelming urges.
The girl was genuinely confused and bewildered by his question and accusation.
"What do you mean?" She asked with sincere confusion in her voice, not understanding what he was referring to.
"Your scent," he clarified through gritted teeth. "It's absolutely wonderful," he said this time completely involuntarily, the words escaping his lips without his conscious intention or permission.
She froze completely at his unexpected words, her mind trying desperately to comprehend and understand what he was talking about and what this could possibly mean. But then suddenly she froze even more as a realization began to dawn on her.
She had been bitten by a radioactive spider to get her extraordinary powers and abilities. Now she called herself spider girl and used those powers to help people. And this mysterious person who just appeared out of nowhere seems to have spider powers and abilities too, based on what she was observing.
She was female while he was clearly male. Her mind began to race rapidly, going through multiple scenarios and possibilities, but eventually she came to a disturbing and alarming conclusion about what might be happening.
She was unknowingly and involuntarily releasing a type of powerful pheromone that was making him go into what could only be described as heat, triggering primal instincts. She narrowed her eyes cautiously and warily, assessing the dangerous situation.
She had just attacked him with significant force and it barely did any noticeable damage to him at all. Though she honestly didn't use her full power or maximum strength in that reflexive strike, it didn't change the concerning fact that the guy standing before her didn't even flinch or seem affected by the impact.
Adam on the other hand was rapidly beginning to lose complete control of his own body as his primal instincts began to overwhelm his rational mind and conscious thought completely.
Slowly but with visible resistance and internal struggle, he began to take deliberate steps towards her position. Each step he took forward he breathed heavily and raggedly, the sound of his labored breathing filling the night air.
He grit his teeth together painfully, looking at the girl with a mixture of confusion and desperation, because he didn't truly understand why or what exactly his body was planning to do to her.
Then suddenly and without any warning, he completely lost control of his actions and he jumped out aggressively and pinned her firmly to the hard rooftop ground beneath them. His eyes shook with the internal conflict raging within him. Her eyes widened dramatically in shock at the overwhelming power and strength as she immediately tried with all her might to push him off of her body.
She tried desperately to find a way to stop releasing the dangerous pheromones that were affecting him, but she didn't know how to control it or make it stop. She was beginning to become genuinely scared and frightened of what might happen next.
"S-stop," she begged desperately, her voice trembling as she tried with all her considerable strength to push him off, but it felt exactly like pushing against an immovable wall of solid concrete.
He opened his mouth wide and bit down hard into her exposed neck with his teeth.
"Agh," she screamed out loudly in sharp pain and shock at the sudden bite.
She began to struggle even harder and more frantically, using every ounce of her strength trying to push him off of her. She even resorted to punching and kicking him repeatedly with her enhanced strength, but it did absolutely nothing to dislodge him or make him stop.
She briefly thought about using her powers to destroy the roof structure under her to escape, but she could sense vibrations and movement underneath through her spider senses. That meant there were innocent people living in apartments below. She couldn't afford to put them in serious danger or risk their lives just to save herself.
He grit her teeth together hard, hearing her quiet whimpers and sounds of distress and pain. He then released a huge and substantial amount of webbing from his body and created a thick cocoon structure around the both of them, encasing them completely.
It was the only way he could think of to stop himself. This special cocoon would put him into a deep sleep state, but since she was trapped here with him she would be confined and trapped with him until he eventually awoke from that sleep.
He could only desperately hope that the overwhelming scent would be gone by then and he would have regained control. She froze in confusion as the person on top of her just suddenly slumped heavily on her body and began to sleep peacefully. She looked around frantically and realized with growing concern that she was now trapped in a cocoon made of webbing.
Looking down at the sleeping person on top of her, she could only sigh deeply in relief that at least the immediate danger had passed. But for some frustrating reason she was being held tightly in his grip. The grip was far too strong and powerful, and she couldn't escape or break free from it no matter how hard she tried.
She sighed to herself in resignation, asking herself how exactly she got into this bizarre and dangerous situation in the first place. Her name was Penny Parker, and she had a complicated life.
She was just a normal, ordinary girl until one day when she was only 14 years old she was bitten by a radioactive spider and was granted great and extraordinary power beyond normal human capabilities.
She now had the incredible powers of a spider at her disposal. Super strength that let her lift cars, super speed that let her move faster than the eye could follow, super durability that made her nearly invulnerable, spider senses that warned her of danger, and many more amazing abilities.
She had just been on her regular night patrol of the city, watching over the streets and looking for people who needed help, when this unexpected and strange situation happened to her. She's just genuinely glad that this person had a way to stop himself and control his actions before things escalated further. Now it was her turn to try and figure out how to control and stop the scent she was unknowingly releasing into the air around her,
