Spider-Girl

Anya Corazon first came into her own as the street-level hero Araña after being granted spider-like abilities through the mystical Spider Society, later stepping into the Spider-Girl identity. Her path toward that new mantle was shaped in part by an unlikely team-up with the Black Cat.

Few characters make their entrance in someone else's spotlight quite like this Spider-Girl, who swung onto the scene in 2010 within the pages of Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat #1, courtesy of creators Jen Van Meter and Javier Pulido. A Modern Age Marvel creation, she quickly earned her own corner of the web with starring roles in Spider-Girl, Onslaught Unleashed, and Spider-Island: The Amazing Spider-Girl. Her world is richly populated — she shares adventures with the likes of Anya Corazon, Peter Parker, Spider-Woman, and Angelica Jones, placing her squarely in Marvel's vibrant spider-corner of the universe. With a dozen years of publication history and key appearances across multiple series, she's a rewarding discovery for any fan looking to dig deeper into the modern Marvel tapestry.
