History
Origin[]
Omm was one of Gaea's earliest spawns.[8]
It was worshipped as a god millennia ago, spawning a race of "Spider-People", which were enemies of the equally monstrous Serpent-Men of Set,[9] while Omm and Set developed an enmity.[2]
Hyborian Age[]
During the Hyborian Age, the Spider-God was worshipped in the Zamoran town of Yezud.[10][11]
In Artallus, a town in northern Zamora, a spider-deity known as Arachna was worshipped.[4]
Modern Age[]
In modern times, Spider-Man found himself drawn into a final battle between the few surviving descendants of Omm's and Set's offsprings.[9]Notes
- The "Spider God" was mentioned by Robert E. Howard in "Conan the Adventurer".
- "Omm the Unspeakable" was created upon that mention by Roy Thomas and Barry Smith, the name being inspired by Stan Lee.[12]
- It is unknown if Omm could have any connection to the Spider-Totems, since his descendants, the Spider-Clan, worshiped the Great Weaver, and Spider-Man himself was drawn to the fight between the Spider-People and the Serpent-Men.[13]
