Living in a world where people spend the majority of their time as virtual avatars in the Cyberspace, Margo Kess decided to act as a masked vigilante called Spider-Byte, and help stop cybercrime as a form of community service.[2]
She was recruited into the Spider-Army by Ghost-Spider and participated in the final push against the Inheritors at Earth-616's Transamerica Pyramid while projecting her virtual reality avatar in the physical world.[3]
Spider Society[]
Margo later joined Miguel O'Hara's Spider Society, and spends most of her time as an avatar projection at its HQ on Earth-928, which she felt was "better than her home world." She eventually met Miles Morales when he arrived at the HQ, forming a brief connection with him. When Miles fled from the entire Spider-Force, Spider-Byte was the only one who stayed behind and did not participate in the chase.

She was trying out haircuts for her virtual avatar when the Go Home Machine activated seemingly on its own. She and LYLA tried to figure out what was wrong with it, until Margo realized that Miles had snuck into the Machine while invisible. Miguel rushed in, and was desperate to stop Miles from going back to his home universe. Yet, when Spider-Byte had and opportunity to shut down the sequence, a look from Miles convinced her not to.
Not long after, Spider-Byte joined the team assembled by Spider-Woman to rescue Miles, because the Machine had sent him to Earth-42 instead of his home reality.[1]Notes
- Amandla Stenberg voices Spider-Byte in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
- Margo's last name was not established in her initial appearance. Her creator Nilah Magruder was only asked to provide one after learning that she would featured in the movie, mere months before the release of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.[4]
- While it's not confirmed that Margo left the Spider Society, teaming up with several ex-Society members (such as Gwen Stacy, Spider-Punk, and Peni Parker) to aid Miles implies that she is no longer a member.
Trivia
- Margo used Inspobook.[1]
