**Cindy Moon**, also known by her heroic alter-ego, **Silk**, is a Korean-American crime-fighter residing in Newark, New Jersey, known to be one of the many Web Warriors of her universe, the fourth one chronologically, preceeded by Kaine Reiley and succeeded by Jessica Drew.

A quirky, energetic, optimistic, perky, intellectually gifted high school student, she was sometimes looked down upon by her other peers, for her happy go-lucky and overenthusiastic personality. She only had two other good friends, Miles Morales and Ned Leeds, and all three of them had a shared love for mechanics, engineering, technology, Star Wars and the New York City superhero Spider-Man. Cindy was also a huge fan of mystery novels and had an aspiration to be a detective too. After Miles Morales received spider-powers of his own and taken under Peter Parker's wings to be the new Spider-Man, Cindy had started to suspect that Miles was Spidey. For years, she was trying to find conclusive proof of that being true, but to no avail.

Her obsession with finding Spidey's identity and wanting to help him and be his guy-in-the-chair was an ironic parallel to Ned Leeds eventually discovering Miles' secret alter-ego as Spidey and becoming his guy-in-the-chair. During the events of the *Ghost Spider* storyline, Cindy had found more evidence about Miles possibly being Spider-Man. She delved deeper into this matter, and eventually not only confirmed her suspicions, she also discovered Peter Parker being the original Spider-Man, and even more records of their adventures. She ultimately was able to convince Mary Jane Watson, an investigative journalist at the time, who was helping Peter crack into the Ghost Spider case, to let her in on this quest. They soon uncovered the deeper notions of this conspiracy, finding out that Doctor Octopus, HYDRA and the Life Foundation to be involved here. They unearth Otto's secret base, which she jumps headfirst into and infiltrates, only to be caught by the mad doctor and used by him as one of his human guinea pigs and bitten by one of his distinctive genetically altered radioactive arachnids, receiving spider-powers, the same to soon happen to Jessica Drew.

Cindy, although terrified, immediately overcomes her horrors, and decides to act up in the fight against the doctor and aids in stopping his maniacal plans of creating a Spider-Island. She decides to become a Web Warrior, inspired by the heroics of the ones before her, and becomes the hero known as Silk. Although she was sometimes tempted by the razzle-dazzles of being a superhero, partaking in social media extravaganzas, she never lost sight of the righteousness that was instilled within her as soon as she got those powers, and the inspiration and good role model that Spider-Man had proved to be to her in the past, gradually becoming a better Web Warrior as the years passed by, learning from each mistakes and each ventures she experienced. She later moved away to Newark, New Jersey, with her family due to her father's new job. She had also become a valuable member of the Young Avengers and the Web Warriors down the line.

As a Young Avenger, she had travelled to China to deal with a crisis where she came across the Spirit Spider, a totemic supernatural human being, who had made a deal with Mephisto to gain access to a supernatural/demonic version of Spider-Man's powers. Initially, they were enemies and he was basically her arch nemesis. However, soon, Cindy learnt of his identity, Xiao Jun, and for a long time, tried to convince him to stray away from his life as a merciless, brutal, killing anti-hero. For some time, Jun decided to follow her relentless advice, and tried a life as a merciful, unconditional hero, even consummating a brief, passionate relationship with Cindy. However, Jun was aggravated by a string of terrorist activities in China, leading him down to a dark path again, Cindy always being remorseful that she couldn't convince him to go straight permanently.

Later down the line, as a young adult, Cindy moved away to South Korea, to spearhead an institution funded for by MIT, for young people looking to get into science and engineering, where she continued her activities as the Web Warrior named Silk.
