Powers:

When originally altered by Doctor Octopus, Wade projected a solid hologram/nanotech construct of the Scarlet Spider from his mind. The projection could also "decompile", allowing it to disintegrate and reform at will. After being infected by the nanites, Wade himself periodically transformed into a mentally unstable copy of the Scarlet Spider.

Enhanced Abilities: Scarlet Spider has super human strength, speed, agility, endurance and durability.

Body Armour: Scarlet Spider 's armoured form provides a good deal of protection from physical and energy attacks.

Claws: Scarlet Spider has a set of claws.

Nanotech: Scarlet Spider has the ability to manifest additional solid holographic/nanotech objects, from webbing to firearms.

Sonic Blasts: Scarlet Spider has the ability to fire sonic blasts.

Origins:

An undercover FBI agent assigned to investigate the new Doctor Octopus, Carolyn Trainer, Joe Wade was discovered and forced to undertake a virtual reality graft. Carolyn turned him into a hard-light holographic duplicate of the Scarlet Spider, in order to ruin his good name. In his Scarlet Spider guise, Joe was actually trapped in a virtual reality chamber, and his thoughts powered the hologram. Despite this, Joe was unable to stop himself from committing acts of violence.
