PUMA
GRAVITY IS A LAW SUGGESTION.
The mountain lion that launched off a pine, tucked the legs, flared the tail and never really came down. $PUMA is that leap. Frozen. Forever. On repeat.
THE PINE LAUNCH
ONE PINE. ONE MOUNTAIN LION. ZERO RESPECT FOR GRAVITY.
Somebody pointed a camera at a tree and caught a wild cougar mid-launch: back paws still on the bark, front end already in orbit, tail out like a rudder. It doesn't look like a jump. It looks like the frame right before a superhero landing.
The replies did the rest. Parkour Puma. Spider Mountain Lion. A wall of pspsps. Somebody's mom said it was their turn on the Xbox. The cat never asked for any of it. The cat was busy flying.

SPIDERCAT
SAME CAT. IMAGINED SUIT. SWINGS FOR THE BIT.
The community looked at that pose and saw a web-slinger. So Puma got a secret identity: no mask, no costume, just a red-and-blue glow when the stunt gets too stupid to explain. Spidercat doesn't fight crime. Spidercat jumps between trees because the ground is lava and that is the whole plot.
with great hang time comes great responsibility (no it doesn't)
