I'm of two minds about a costume. Newly buff Xander in spandex or something similar has visual appeal. On the other hand, what would it be made of, how would it be maintained? Totally disregarding Xander's lack of financial resources still would not leave too many options unless this reality has so many superheroes there is a inexpensive costume kiosk on every other corner?
EDIT: Newly buff Xander in Leather. Its a drool waiting to happen. Soon please.

As far as a costume goes I was contemplating a red and black combo and not the full bodysuit but something of my own design something in leather perhaps

i like the concept so far. when you put him in a costume it would be nice to see something other then the basic spiderman costume, scarlet spider or anything else would work better with xander's style

I like this. The aspecting of the spider, the way his self-image is going to almost certainly influence his capabilities.. I'd imagiune the only reason he hasn't noticed his spider-sense is the latent threat level just being there projects. It's not like he didn't feel that threat knowing abut the Hellmouth in the first place..

Lol, virtual cookie to you, I was wondering if anyone was going to catch the fact that he wasn't sensing the Hellmouth. I'm totally surprised that I didnt get flamed for leaving out the infamous 'spidey-sense'. Kudos :)

You're off to a great start so far! I would caution you on the over use of the cliche 'Deadboy' thing and please, don't do the Hawaiian shirt thing. I think he wore one ONCE. I hope you make this a 'Scooby Gang' story. Buffy and Willow might have imploded as characters in the later seasons but at this point in time they could be a great support system for Xander. Please, don't add any other crossovers. There are plenty of worthy enemies in the 'Buffyverse' for Xander to deal with. Keep up the great work!

Xan's going to have a multitude of things to call Angel besides Deadboy...the same insult over and over gets boring, but their dislike is going to be there for a while, I'm afraid, you can't get over hating someone just like that. Also, there will be no eye-scarring material in my fanfic....I've seen Hawaiian shirts....they scare me....Buffy and Willow will be a sort of support system for him but there will be an anymosity there leading up to the implosion your talking about...but the Scoobies will all be buddies in the end, promise. Lastly, no other major crossovers....but I was thinking some cameo-ish appearances maybe...we'll leave that as a we'll see.
