Character bio
The daughter of the genetically-altered Stan Flippo, Candice "Candi" Flippo-McArthur has centipede-themed powers, and has witnessed her hometown and family decimated by a disastrous political fallout. A simple, romantic, religious family woman at heart, she seeks to rid her world of the Hebbleskin Gang that she deems responsible for the suffering of most of those in her life.

She also longs to create a world in which it is safe to start and maintain a traditional family. This desire to settle down has gotten her - and the men in her life - into some amount of trouble, convincing her that much more that the Hebbleskins have to go. Under the Kirby Act, she has been unfairly sent to prison - multiple times! The Percolation Wave copied the version of her that was under house arrest at a sponsor's home in Houston; and the Earth-12131-F clone has all of the original Candi's painful memories up to that moment in time.

The clone looks to SHIELD the way that the original looked up to SCALLOP - hoping SHIELD will prove a little better at its job. In addition to her centipede powers, she has a suit created by her godfather Imaki, which complements and enhances them. Without a lot of centipede totems in the Marvel world, Ciem and her family find themselves confiding in Spider-Man and Spider-Woman quite often.

Personality

 * Similar to that of her Earth-G7 counterpart.

Trivia

 * Her "Ciem" title is short for the Spanish word ciempiés, meaning "centipede."


 * Her powers are modeled after the Michigan varieties of lithobius forficatus.


 * Candi's ethnicity is described as "Indo-Persian Mulatto." Her great grandfather Sadasheeva Cherupara was mostly Indian with some trace Persian.  Her great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother were primarily black.  Her father was white.  In appearance, it is evident that her mother's side of the family had the more dominant genes - although her centipede powers came from her father.


 * Candi has been through multiple different variations of her costume.


 * Candi's insatiable urge to find real love but also to settle down when she was young often got her in trouble, just as much as did her vigilante side job. Wishing to erase the trauma of being raped by Don the Psycho, she ignored her upbringing and slept with all three of her serious boyfriends, neither of which had the willpower to say no themselves.  This led to a miscarriage of her first child with the first boyfriend, and a desire to elope with Donte after both Danny and Tyrone died.  However, no sooner did she and Donte elope than they found out that Affadidah wanted to invalidate all non-Muslim marriages in Ameristan.  Thus, Candi and Donte had to move to Toklisana and re-marry just to make their union legally recognized by any body of state.  She had been accused a few times of nymphomania, though she was never truly promiscuous like her sisters.
 * She eventually has three children with Donte, though Frank was born much earlier than her twins John and Dana.


 * While initially charged as a juvenile with arson, Candi beat that charge. Even the victims who lost their home were determined to prove she didn't do it; and the city had to drop the case and admit it was the Pyro Panthers and not Candi.  However, she did get sent to two years at a juvenile correctional center anyway, because she admitted that she was carrying Zeran wardrobes in her backpack - and Darius Philippine determined her admission to be on par with leaking classified information.  She was also cited for a curfew violation.


 * As an adult, she has been abducted by the Hebbleskins and Affadidah's men multiple times but escaped. She's also been accused of failure to appear for an Affadidah-required medical exam, assault, manslaughter, aiding and abetting fugitives, squatting, trespassing, breaking and entering, petty larceny of farms, poaching, possession of controlled substances, parole/probation violations, and reckless driving.
 * Prosecutors were forced to drop most of these, though they did get her in the end on assault and reckless driving (both charges related to her protecting her son from harm.)


 * The Vanadium Centipede is inspired by the Iron Spider in meta. Vanadium is also a recurring metal theme in Dozerfleet works.
