History
Blood Spider, along with Jagged Bow and Death-Shield were trained by Taskmaster to mimic Spider-Man, in order to kill him.[2] When Matt Murdock put a bounty on his alter-ego Daredevil's head to draw out Bullseye, Blood Spider was one of the several villains who tried to kill him, but was easily defeated.[3]
Attributes
Powers
Blood Spider demonstrated superhuman reflexes and strength in a fight against Solo and Spider-Man. Blood Spider was shown to be able to smash his fist into a wall without flinching, as well as dodging bullets fired by Solo. Because Blood Spider was specifically picked by the Taskmaster to be trained in the fighting style of Spider-Man, it can be assumed that his powers were a close match to those of Spider-Man himself, and probably included the aforementioned superhuman reflexes and strength as well as agility, and perhaps even the ability to cling to walls, if not naturally, then through artificial means.
Abilities
Blood Spider was rigorously trained by the Taskmaster in the fighting style of Spider-Man.
Paraphernalia
Equipment
Weapons
Blood Spider was equipped with a pair of web-shooters similar in effect to Spider-Man's, however, Blood Spider's web-shooters were attached by tubing from his wrists to a backpack-style device. The look of the contraption made it appear like a more primitive and less compact version of Spider-Man's self-contained wrist-mounted web-shooters. Although Blood Spider's shooters seemed more primitive in appearance to Spider-Man's they otherwise seemed to work just the same.
Notes
- Real name revealed in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z Hardcover Vol. 11, apparently named after Jerry Bingham.
- Blood Spider was incinerated by Venom in Venom: Lethal Protector (Vol. 2) #2, but has appeared in chronologically later stories, meaning that Bingham was either at some point resurrected, or someone else just took on the identity of Blood Spider.
