**Xiao Jun**, known by his infamous alter-ego, the **Spirit Spider**, is a human being with supernatural powers, residing in Guangzhou, China. Although he possesses no genetic superhuman abilities, and instead possesses mystic powers, he is considered to be a part of the Web Warriors of his universe due to the connection between him and the powers of other Web Warriors, including Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man.

Xiao Jun was an impoverished boy from China, living in the depths of the slums of his cities, treated as trash and his parents worked to the point of near death with, struggling to gather enough food for even one of them, often dumpster-diving and looking for scraps. His father decided to eventually join a drug cartel to get some cash and was eventually arrested. His mother worked three jobs and was once raped by an employer, who was let off scot-free. Jun participated in thievery as he was a teenager and had become a very rebellious, vengeful, stoic, self-caring and angsty person as he grew up, angry with the injustices of the world. Jun had eventually taken upon an unhealthy obsession with the hero, Spider-Man, who he respected for putting his life along the line, multiple times, devoting and putting his life on the line to the very city that would often berate and put him down. However, he did not like how he Spider-Man didn't just finish off his enemies who would just return to cause further destruction and devastation, just because he'd never put a definitive end to their lives.

After learning his mother had been sexually abused, he murdered her rapist. Jun had then decided to become a crime-fighting vigilante himself, inspired by the basic concept of heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil (the latter mainly being an urban legend in the internet, often misinterpreted as being Spidey himself by many people) and be an enforcer of justice that would never let evil roam around the streets any further, basically becoming a self-declared hero that would kill. He infiltrated his way into a clan of demon-worshippers and ended up being mortally wounded while finishing off the cultists. At the end of his life, he was determined not to let his mother and little sister to be all alone. So he performed a demonic ritual that the cultists were participating in, and ended up summoning a gateway that led him to an aspect of Mephisto, who offered him a deal to be revitalized with a demonic spider-totem that would grant him supernatural powers similar to Spider-Man, who he once idiolized and wanted to be.

Accepting the deal gave him the ability to transform into something that is a similar incarnation of the Spirit Of Vengeance, with paranormal strength, speed, durability, stamina, supernatural awareness, the ability to peek into one's soul, purify any soul, whether righteous or degenerate, from sin, emit astral flames/manipulate hellfire as astral daggers/talons/web blasts, grow extra astral arms similar to a literal spider, transform into a giant demonic-spider (the ultimate transformation of his demonic enhancement), literally be able to hide within actual shadows or darkness by altering his state of being, adhere to any surface like Spidey and the ability to fly in limited degrees through controlled bursts of astral flames, similar to the Human Torch, and shadow jump, which is the ability to teleport into and out of any shadows present anywhere in his line of vision, as well as possess a supernatural sixth-sense.

Jun used his newfound powers to become what Cindy Moon described as 'China's spiritual Punisher.' Named the Spirit Spider, Jun decided to be the version of Spider-Man that would bring about proper justice to any evil. Every time he used his powers though, it would suck out his lifeforce which would be sent to Mephisto himself. He would become notorious as the 'Demonic Killer,' leaving gruesome scenes of crimes of his victims, which would often be styled in some way that could be traced back to a demonic connection, so that it could be linked back to him as his 'divine work of justice,' which he would label as his beautiful pieces of 'art.'

For a while, he was an antagonist of all the Web Warriors present at the time, for basically ruining their public opinion and doing terrible things in general. However, he was able to move past his violent, anti-heroic ways for awhile, convinced by Cindy Moon, even participating in the *Spider-Verse*event with other spider-powered individuals until he inevitably got swayed back into his old ways, after his sister and mother were killed in a terrorist bombing. Jun was even hunted down by the Ghost Rider for abusing his Spirit Of Vengeance extensively, but he still continues his notorious activities, although he is not inherently evil at all, unfortunately bogged down by a very twisted way of thinking.
