== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
* Spider Physiology: Due to her being the daughter of Spider-Man, Annie possesses the proportionate powers of a spider which she inherited from her father. She has increased strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, reflexes and highly acute senses. Although her powers are not at the same level as her father while being only eight years of age. Her powers include:
** Wall-Crawling: Annie's hands and feet allow her to stick perfectly to walls like what all spiders do. She is very adept at doing this as she is able to snooze on the ceiling while her back was sticking to the ceiling.
** Superhuman Strength: Although her strength limit is unknown, Annie is shown to have considerable superhuman strength, due to it being the proportionate strength of a spider. She is able to overpower full grown adults and leap up to great distances. She is able to lift up a heavy car while attempting to retrieve her ball. However, she is not strong like her father while only 8 years old.
** Superhuman Speed: With the proportionate speed of a spider, Annie possesses superhuman speed which enables her to run at remarkable speeds and web-swing faster.
** Superhuman Stamina: With an increased improved stamina, Annie is able to exert herself for a longer period of time, without getting tired or exhausted.
** Superhuman Durability: Annie's body is physically tougher and incredibly durable than a normal human which enables her to survive great impacts such as falls from several heights, electrocution and smashing through brick walls without getting seriously injured.
** Superhuman Agility: Annie's agility and bodily coordination are all enhanced which are far more greater than the finest human athlete. She is able to perform various types of acrobatics and gymnastics.
** Superhuman Equilibrium: Annie is able to balance perfectly on any object, either small or narrow without wobbling or falling off.
** Superhuman Reflexes: Annie's reflexes are enhanced which are similar to that of her father as she is able to dodge at any attack with or without her spider-sense. She has demonstrated this when she had a fight with Doctor Sharron Stillwell.
** Superhuman Senses: Annie's senses have appeared to be greatly enhanced as she is able to sense or see objects far away in a telescopic vision like what most spiders do.
** Spider-Sense: A tingling sensation in Annie's skull that warns her of immediate danger, which she inherited from her father. She also has the ability to see into the future moments before it even happened which means that her spider-sense is more effective than her father's.
** Precognition: Her Spider-Sense also allows Annie to see in the future moments before it even happened. Although, Annie does not know of what time the event occurs after she sees it in her mind.
** Regenerative Healing Factor: Annie's increased metabolism allows her to heal wounds in a much faster rate than normal humans. During a fight with the Mole-Man and his henchmen, she suffered a nosebleed, but healed quickly afterwards.

==Trivia==

*Annie had several other codenames for her superhero alter-ego, her original one was AMP, the other were Spider-Girl, Kid-Spider and Spidster before she accepted her codename as Spiderling which her father gave to her in Amazing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows Vol 2 4.
