Goddess (Spider) (Earth 1)

## Overview

A **spider** got caught in a radiation test at a public exhibition demonstrating the safe handling of nuclear laboratory waste materials, sponsored by the General Techtronics Corporation. The radiation, however, was slowly killing it. Before it died it bit students from Midtown High named Peter Parker and Cindy Moon.

The radiation emitted by the Isotope Genome Accelerator also caused her to split in three, with her one of clones being the spider that was eaten by Carl King and other found by Peter Parker who believed the clone to be the original spider.

## History

The spider's venom caused changes to Peter's DNA that gave him certain abilities of a spider, such as the proportionate strength and agility along with the ability to climb on any surface. He could now react to danger quickly with a "spider-sense".

The spider also had time to bite another person following Peter: Cindy Moon, who got the same abilities as the Spider-Man. She later took up the identity of **Silk**.

However, rather than dying after this, as was assumed, the gamma radiation that the spider absorbed had actually transformed it into a "Hulk-Spider". Additionally, while the two she had bitten gained the abilities and strength of a spider, the spider herself gained the abilities and intelligence of a human. When she awoke she found herself trapped in a glass cage and split in two by the Isotope Genome Accelerator.

A student by the name of Carl King, who witnessed Peter being bitten and connected it with the appearance of Spider-Man, ate the spider hoping to gain the same powers of Spider-Man. His body began to break down over time, mutating him into a swarm of thousand spiders sharing a single consciousness known as the Thousand. The other spider maintained a connection to the Thousand until its death, hearing her own voice within each member of the swarm.

Due to having been turned into a Gamma mutate, the spider resurrected, attaining sentience and the ability to speak due to having been affected by Peter and Cindy's human DNA. The radiation emitted by the Isotope Genome Accelerator also caused her to split in two, with her clone being the spider that was eaten by Carl King. Capable of increasing her size to massive proportions, she was inspired by Spider-Man and Silk and set out to become a superhero under the name "Goddess" - which had been given to her by a researcher studying her.
