Biography[]
Early Life[]
Birth[]
Whilst in the womb, Cassandra Webb was diagnosed with an incurable neuromuscular disease. Her mother, Constance Webb, sought to use the healing properties of a species of spiders native to Peru. In the final weeks of her pregnancy, Constance Webb traveled to Peru in order to capture a specimen of the spider. Whilst conducting this research, a man named Ezekiel Sims provided Constance with protection, however, once she had captured one of the native spiders, Sims killed the research team and stole the spider, during which a struggled ensued and Sims accidentally shot Constance. As Sims fled and Constance was left to die, a tribe of spider-people known as "Las Arañas" descended from the trees and retrieved her dying body. Their leader, Santiago, used the venom from native spiders in an attempt to preserve the lives of Cassandra and her mother; the spider venom saved Cassandra and cured her neuromuscular disease, however her mother died in childbirth. At some point, Cassandra left Peru and was returned to the United States.
Childhood[]
Cassandra grew up in the foster system, during which she was placed in a number of foster family programs; according to Cassandra, “some of them were worse than others”. Growing up in the foster care system deprived Cassandra of stability and security in childhood, and as a result she grew up resenting her mother; believing she took unnecessary risks whilst pregnant, that ultimately got her killed.
Joining the FDNY[]
Cassandra qualified as a paramedic, and began working for the New York City Fire Department, where she would meet and befriend her co-worker, Ben Parker, as well as O'Neil.
