History
Tarantula was one of the residents of Killville who was in Jungle World Casino when Misty Knight and Paladin arrived with Kraven's Coin. He was among the first villians to attack the pair before they headed to the penthouse. They fought their way through the villains to the upper levels of the casino, where Mister Sinister and Tarantula were waiting for them. After stabbing Paladin with a paralysis poison from Tarantula's stinger, Misty seemingly killed Sinister by exploding his oxygen tank and used Paladin's paralyzed body as human shield so she could snap Tarantula's stinger and shoot him, seemingly killing him.[1]
