Cindy Moon (Earth 1) - Smallville Extended Universe

Cindy Moon (Silk) is a South Korean Vigilante who has the powers of Spider-Man. When high school student Cindy Moon was attending a public exhibition demonstrating the safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste materials, sponsored by the General Techtronics Corporation, a spider irradiated by a particle accelerator used in the demonstration, bit Peter Parker on the hand and fell from his hand, it then bit Cindy in her ankle before dying. The first manifestation of her powers happened when her uncontrollable organic webbing accidentally caused her to web up her parents. A man by the name of Ezekiel Sims came and took Cindy away. He trained Cindy in the use of her powers until he realized the totemic predator Morlun was tracking her. He then locked her away in a room that blocks Morlun's detection at the bottom of his tower to protect her from him. This bunker had years worth of food, books, and tapes on the outside world which Cindy watched every day. She knew the code to leave at anytime but, knowing the consequences, she decided to stay put despite the horrible boredom.

Cindy's story was revealed to Peter Parker thirteen years later, when he was now the hero known as Spider-Man, after the Orb unleashed several of the Watcher's secrets to the world. Overwhelmed by this revelation, he went to free Cindy. She tried to warn him about Morlun, but he opened the door anyway and she attacked him for dooming them to being hunted down by Morlun. Peter reveals that Morlun is dead, and after realizing she was free, she made an improvised costume of webs and told Spider-Man to call her Silk before going to her parents' home.

She eventually saved her parents, who were in the Negative Zone looking for a cure to her powers, and, later, she joined her boss on a trip to San Francisco and created a new alias so she could investigate the mysterious New U.

As Silk was having lunch with the Protectors after Jimmy Woo offered membership to his Agent of Atlas, the War of the Realms had struck Earth and she then joined Brawn to help in Seoul, South Korea. After Sindr's forces overwhelmed and took Korea, Cindy went undercover as a local Korean and found a way to disguise Amadeus Cho as a Muspelheim soldier to free the captive Luna Snow. When Braw was fighting Sindr, Aero, Wave and Luna used the Black Bifrost to travel to in order to decrease the temperature, and are then transported to Northen China, where Shang-Chi began training them for their fight.

## Personality

Cindy Moon is a loner who likes to work alone and not with the rest of the team since she is used to being alone due to isolation most of her life. However she is a great team player when it comes to teamwork.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

**Spider** **Physiology:** Silk possesses the proportionate powers of a spider, granted to her from an irradiated Common House Spider (*Achaearanea tepidariorum*) which bit Cindy Moon that was apparently already mutated from prior exposure to certain frequencies of radiation and received a final, lethal dose during Moon's attendance of the exhibition. The radioactive, complex mutagenic enzymes in the spider's blood that were transferred at the time of the bite triggered numerous body-wide mutagenic changes within Moon, granting her superhuman strength, speed, toughened flesh, and numerous arachnid-like abilities. Unlike Spider-Man, she has less superhuman strength than him, but she also possesses more agility than him and an advanced Spider-Sense far more sensitive than other totems.[*citation needed*] She possesses the ability to produce organic webbing from her fingertips.[*citation needed*] Her powers include:

* **Wall-Crawling:** Silk's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of her engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Silk's body (especially concentrated in her hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger.
* **Superhuman Strength:** Silk possesses superhuman strength enabling her to press lift a few tons, though she possesses significantly less strength than Spider-Man. This is probably due to approximate strength based on her lighter mass.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Silk is capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Her speed even surpasses that of Spider-Man as shown when she outmaneuvered him during their first encounter.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Silk's advanced musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows her to exert herself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair her.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Silk's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. Her body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. She can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength, that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Silk's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. Her agility is more advanced than Spider-Man's.
* **Superhuman Equilibrium:** Silk possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. She seems able to adjust her position by instinct, which enables her to balance herself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Silk's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are possibly about 40 times greater than those of an ordinary human due to her and Spider-Man being bitten by the same spider. In combination with her spider-sense, the speed of her reflexes allows her to dodge almost any attack even gun fire if far enough.
* **Silk-Sense:** Silk possesses an extrasensory "danger" or "silk" sense which warns her of potential immediate danger, and links with her superhuman kinesthetics, enabling her to evade most any injuries, unless she cognitively overrides her automatic reflexes. Her Spider-Sense is more advanced than Spider-Man and other spider totems; it allows her to react significantly faster in combat, has superior range, and can even sense the identity of an attacker before a fight begins.
* **Biological/Organic Webbing Generation:** She has the ability to organically produce her own silk webbing from glands within her forearms, possibly limited by her body's health and nutrition. These organic webs have many of the same properties as Spider-Man's artificial webbing, but can also be woven into clothing. She releases her organic webbing through her fingertips.
* **Claws:** Her ability to spin webs with her fingertips also allows her to form claw-like extrusions from them.
* **Superhuman Tracking:** Due to her and Peter being bit by the same spider, Silk can find and sense Spider-Man anywhere in the Multiverse.
