History
Marvel's Spider-Man[]
Screwball was an Internet entertainer and criminal with millions of followers. She once tricked Spider-Man into her mad games by simulating the kidnapping of a civilian, guiding him through a series of traps through the city, facing thugs (her "fans" as she calls them), and deactivating bombs until he reached the captive, only to reveal herself as the "victim". She was later arrested for the deed, while remarking she can't be held responsible since she didn't commit the crimes, but her fans did.[1]
The City That Never Sleeps[]
A few months later after her arrest, Screwball returned, now with the goal to attract more followers on the internet. To do this, she set up various challenges for Spider-Man throughout the city, coercing the webslinger to go through them while she was streaming it all.
After Spider-Man cleared all of her challenges, she decided to throw a party to celebrate her new 50 million followers. Spider-Man, with the help of Miles Morales used the opportunity to track down the location where the party was happening so he could finally capture Screwball once and for all. Foreshadowing this, Screwball fled from the party right after Spider-Man's arrival, starting a chase over the rooftops of Manhattan. To make things more difficult to Spider-Man, Screwball had previously set up bombs around the city that would explode if he didn't made certain stunts while chasing her. Fortunately she would finally be put in jail as Spider-Man finally manages to capture her. As she is being escorted to a police car, she can be heard asking if she could livestream on the way to the station. It turned out, however, that some of the prison guards in Ryker’s Island were fans of her show, and wanted the show to go on. Therefore, they gave Screwball a streaming setup in her cell, allowing her to continue broadcasting. [1]Attributes

Equipment
- Various stage equipment and devices
- Drones - Screwball was seen using flying drones to protect her as Spider-Man was chasing her.
- Access to the personal/private data of others - When a fan of Screwball’s reported her to the New York Police Department, she gloated that he had “messed with the wrong streamer” and that he would be doxxed. Similarly, she was able to call Spider-Man, indicating that she had access to his personal data as well, including his phone number. Her skills appear to be such that she can even derail/eavesdrop on other conversations he may be having, as evident by her interruption of another conversation he was having with Mary Jane Watson.
