History

Origin

Arachne was a woman who claimed to be a better weaver than Athena, causing Athena to curse her into the form of a creature with a spider body instead of legs.

Olympus Group

Arachne was one of the many monsters employed by Hera's Olympus Group, and battled Hercules' allies (as a way to avenge herself from Athena), especially Spider-Man.

Spider-Island

She later appeared in New York City after Hercules became infested with the Spider-Virus. She entrapped the X-Men in her magic web. Arachne found Hercules' spider form to be very attractive. They passionately kissed and proceeded to have sex much to the chagrin yet astonishment of the X-Men who were forced to watch.

Attributes

Abilities

Arachne is a skilled weaver.

Notes

Spider-Man mentioned to Arachne the fact that her name was "already taken" by a member of Omega Flight, and proposed to her "Spider-Woman", "Spider-Girl", and "Araña", all names already used by spider-themed heroines.
